During this year’s CTIA, among other things, Verizon announced the new version of VZ Navigator. Now it’s ready and it brings tons of improvements. Some of the VZ Navigator features include:
- Traffic Integration – allows users in 75 cities to access routes that are calculated using both historical and real-time reported traffic information.
- Local Movies and Events – users can search for show times, critics’ ratings and other details for movies, concerts, plays, sporting and other social events, based on their location.
- 3D Perspective View – makes easier to visualize turn-by-turn directions.
- Gas Finder – provides customers with information on the location of gas stations close to their locations and even provides gas prices. Turn-by-turn directions to the selected gas station are also available.
- Weather – automatic location specific weather conditions and forecasts.
VZ Navigator 4 is available for $9.99 for unlimited monthly access or $2.99 for one-day use on select Get It Now-enabled phones in the “Get Going” section under “Travel & Guides” or “Featured Apps.” Airtime or megabyte charges and specific terms of use apply when browsing, downloading and using the application, so it’s suggested you’re on some low-cost or unlimited data plan.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
