Which Navigation do you use?

[Waldo]

I haven't opened VZ Navigator yet but I've always used the Google Navigation app on my Droid1. Now I see Verizon has included their navigator app.. why?

Which do you guys prefer and why?

Unless something has changed VZ Navigator is a paid service. Google Map's, on the other hand, is free and is compatible with most internet-accessible Android devices.

Because Verizon wants more of your money!

VZ Navigator costs $9.99 per month plus data usage. It comes free with the $10 75Mb data plan, but at 2 to 5Mb per minute quoted on Verizon website, you'd hit your cap on a 15 minute trip around town!



From Verizon website:

VZ Navigator​

VZ Navigator provides all the features of an advanced navigation system on your mobile phone at a fraction of the price of other Global Positioning Services (GPS) devices and systems. VZ Navigator provides: heads-up, voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions (with auto-rerouting if you miss a turn); local search of nearly fourteen million points of interest (POIs) in the U.S.A.; and detailed color maps that can be quickly panned and zoomed. With VZ Navigator you will know where you are, know what​

One of the nice things about Android is we no longer are stuck paying for a Nav app, such as VZNav. use google navigation, FTW!!!

I use IVONA voices on my phone. much nicer than the stock voices, IMO. I like the British female voice. I think it's free for a couple more days.

That's dumb.. yet they still include it -_-

Little fuze here, when you stick your phone in the car dock what navigator comes up and starts running?
Is it VZ, or google?

Thanks
Wolvie

Not sure, I didn't get a phone dock since I didn't think my Otterbox Commuter would work with it

Google navigation is awesome...

Google Navigation is the best much better than VZ Navigator.

I was using Sygic on my previous android device but it doesn't seem to work on the Razr despite being listed as a supported device. I posted a support question about this yesterday to Sygic - hopefully they will have a useful answer soon.
I strongly prefer a navigation app that works offline just in case.

Vznav is a holdover from before android. My ex had it on her voyager. It was pretty cool while it was free but we were sure to cancel it. I bet there are many ppl out there that got used to it and still use and pay for it due to ignorance to other options.


I use google maps.
