New VZ Navigator Includes Traffic, Gas & Ent. in 75 Cities

Verizon Wireless, and Networks In Motion (NIM), the award-winning wireless navigation and hyper-local search
company, announced that the newest version of VZ Navigator will be available sometime in April.

With the new VZ Navigator (Version 4), customers in 75 cities from coast to
coast will be able to access traffic incidents, traffic updates and find
detours around traffic congestion and accidents; more cities are expected
to be added in the coming year. In addition, VZ Navigator will offer 3D
perspective view, a movie and events finder, weather reports and forecasts,
and gas prices at nearby gas stations.

Lee Daniels, vice president of consumer product development for Verizon
Wireless, said, "Real-time reported traffic information and more allows our
customers to truly transform their wireless phones into powerful navigation
systems, at a fraction of the cost of other GPS devices. When Networks In
Motion adds additional functionality to our VZ Navigator service, it
enhances our customers' overall wireless experiences."

Other new features customers can expect to see on VZ Navigator (Version
4) include:

• Local Movies and Events - Customers can now search for show times,
  critics' ratings and other details for movies, concerts, plays,
  sporting events and other social events based on the physical location
  of their phones.
• 3D Perspective View - Enhances navigation by displaying maps from
  angles customers would see through car windshields, making it easier to
  visualize turn-by-turn directions.
• Gas Finder - Provides customers with information on the location of gas
  stations close to their physical location and even provides gas prices
  at many gas stations in the area. Once a customer selects a station, VZ
  Navigator can also provide turn-by-turn directions to the selected
  gas station.
• Weather - Provides current weather conditions and forecasts based on
  the physical location of their phones without manually imputting an
  address.

The newest version of VZ Navigator (Version 4) will be available for $9.99 for unlimited monthly access or $2.99 for one-day use onselect Get It Now(R)-enabled phones in the Get Going section under Travel &
Guides or Featured Apps.

In addition, VZ Navigator (Version 4) will also be
available on select Windows Mobile devices. Airtime or megabyte charges and
specific terms of use apply when browsing, downloading and using the
application.
