VZ Navigator VX: Does Google Nav Have Competition?
Verizon’s Turn-By-Turn Driving software for its phones – VZ Navigator – has some tough competition. Several years ago, it seemed like Garmin ran the GPS show. And with the announcement of Google Navigate on Android Phones, which is a FREE service, why would anyone pay for VZ Navigator? I’m sure Verizon could list a billion reasons, but let us share one rather interesting reason with you that is hot off the presses: VZ Navigator VX.
Their “Virtual City Driving” actually looks really cool:
Same goes for their freeway views:
And of COURSE they are demoing the new app on a precious Droid Incredible.
Personally, I’m content with my free Google Navigation and I’ve really grown to like it. As long as I get from point A to point B efficiently, I don’t REALLY care if I’m doing it seeing 2D maps or 3D cartoons. I must admit those freeway signs and other features are tempting in terms of convenience factor, but I won’t likely stray from Google Maps. Plus the crazy kids at Google are always have cool stuff in the works and I’m sure their drafting up Google Nav improvements as we speak (or I type, and you read).
So Verizon Android owners… will you VX it?
