VZ Navigator by Verizon Wireless review

I used to use this app but over the years I found it pointless to use because of the cost. It really does come down to why pay for a map service through Verizon when I can use the free better service from Google? It even has voice. How can they convince me that this is the better choice?

PA... if these advertorials keep coming, I will be going. Probably, maybe. Okay, I'll probably hang around but I will not click on as many things. Take that!

At least give the adverts a brown background so we know we're about to step in some bullcrap.

Note - this is an advertorial - ITS AN AD PAID FOR BY VERIZON

I use Waze on all my my phones. Why would anyone in this day and age pay for on-line nav? They charge you for the service on top of the $$$$ for data. Another ripoff from Verizon.

Carriers should really just make this free for customers. They are outdated concepts aka paying for nav on da phone. Unless you have a feature phone that is. Car companies get away with it cause other nav options aren't built in to the car's hardware. However the free g maps is.

PhoneArena, unless you are getting enough money to have more giveaways, NEVER PUBLISH AN ARTICLE LIKE THIS AGAIN.

you guys are funny. if you did not read the whole article let me explain here where its short and doesn't take much attention span " 7 years old ", " works on basic phone ". Yes google and apples crappy maps along with nokia and all the other free maps are great to use but there are people out there that have basic phones and it works just as good as google maps. I know because I have tested it out and know people who still use it. It doesn't cost much but verizon doesn't have their own brand name phone to sell they gotta make money too. ( and yes they sell service.. which most of you are too cheap and cry about but "it aint trickin if you got it"/ If you got the money its the worth the service. )

I don't use it b/c it costs $10 a month and I have Google Maps on my HTC Thunderbolt, so...

I'm still waiting for a trip planner that can calculate fuel fillups/rest stops on long trips, and find the best places to stop along the way. It shouldn't be difficult to tell an app I want to stop for gas every 300 miles, every 5 hours, stops at a ball of twine, etc. Frankly, there should be a way to use an OBD-2 tool to monitor fuel consumption automatically. Trying to find an open gas station in unfamiliar territory at 2am can be dangerous, and damn nerve racking when that fuel light comes on.
