What is Verizons VZ Navigator?
The simplest definition of VZ Navigator is that it’s a GPS on a cellphone. You see a detailed map, updated in real time, of where you are and directions to where you’re going. While that’s the easiest way to describe it, it doesn’t do VZ Navigator justice. There are plenty of additional options and features that go way beyond the capabilities of a conventional GPS. The version I tested was VZ Navigator 2.8.0.80, which I was told was pre-release beta code. However, it was impressively and happily bug-free, and performed fine. Currently, the service is available on the Motorola v325, though I’m told it will soon be available on all new Verizon phones with location tracking capabilities. A picture of the Motorola v325 is on the left. How does VZ Navigator work? VZ Navigator consists of five main menus. Each menu and sub-options also have context-sensitive help. 1) Navigation Find Destination: A frequently-used menu, this allows you to find your way to location from your current location.
