VZ Navigator

The VZ Navigator app is a super-smart, versatile tool that helps you get from point A to point Z, and everywhere in between. The app allows you to map out specific routes, review detailed driving directions, find local businesses, parks and ATMs and use voice-activated commands when you need to be hands-free.

But the premium features are what set the app apart from others like it – virtual city driving with enhanced 3D graphics, traffic alerts updated every minute, automatic rerouting technology and roadside assistance options, to name just a few.

The VZ Navigator app not only helps you choose the best routes based on your preferences, but it also talks you through the turn-by-turn directions and relies on real highway signs and road views to keep you up to speed on what to expect. More than anything, the app is a fast, easy-to-use GPS in your pocket (or purse) and its advanced navigation system definitely takes the stress out of traveling.

VZ Navigator is a free download from any wireless carrier. However, to utilize the premium features (anything beyond basic routing and locating businesses), you must be a Verizon user and pay $4.99 a month.
