VZ NAVIGATOR POWERED BY NETWORKS IN MOTION

location based services

WHAT IT DOES: Turns a Verizon Wireless cell phone into a portable navigation unit. Plug in an address, and it provides step-by-step directions on the display along with an audible alert when a turn approaches. Planned trips are displayed with the time and distance remaining.
FEATURES: Locations can be stored as favorites along with options to avoid highways or toll roads. Routes can be chosen as fastest or shortest and even by car or bicycle.
Searches available by intersection, airport or favorites. When making or receiving phone calls, the phone will suspend the navigation service until the call is completed.
HOW IT WORKED: The navigation was extremely accurate on several tests. The LCD screen was difficult to read while driving, but the audible alerts were right on and gave enough notice to make the turns comfortably.
