VZ Navigator "Version X" Announced, Adds "Virtual City" Maps, Social Features, and more
Paying a monthly fee, or any fee, for that matter, for turn-by-turn navigation on Android devices has felt pretty unreasonable ever since Google Maps Navigation happened, but Verizon's still trying to make things interesting with the latest version of its VZ Navigator. A quick feature rundown of its new "Version X" is up on YouTube right now, and I'll admit, I was a little impresses by some of this stuff: realistic 3D buildings in major cities (unlike the "building" boxes in Google Maps), some form of dead reckoning capability for those times that you don't have GPS reception, satellite maps, overhead street signs, social integration for letting folks know where you are, and a whole bunch of views for customizing the experience. There'll also be a free version (VZ Navigator Maps) that dont include of some of the crazier features. This might be officially announced in a few hours, so more details will presumably be in tow; in the meantime, follow the break for the teaser video. CHeck It Out ANd Enjoy.
