Real men don't use sissy gimcracks like that. They tell direction by the sun
and moss on trees.

When does the free month begin? When you get the phone? When you download
the software? When you first use it?

It showed a free month when I downloaded it. It also gave the one use, and
the subscription rate. But I choose the first one with the free month.

It's terrific.

When you first download it, you have the option of a free 30-day trial,
and I'm really impressed. I'll probably sign up for it next time I need
it. (Note that it does use airtime -- It'll use a minute or two to get
the route, then hang up. It'll only reconnect if you miss a turn, or if
you ask it to pull up a map. If you also have the $15/month "VPack" of
some other services, then airtime isn't charged for it.)


While I was impressed by it, I didn't see where I'd really need it. I
really don't go to many unfamiliar places in my car. That is, until my
flight got canceled, and I needed to rent a car to get home. I had *no*
idea where I was going around the New York City area, so I fired up the
VZ Navigator.

It was great. It gave me perfect directions, and an accurate ETA once I
got up to highway speed. And I had no trouble hearing the voice
directions in the car. (I have an LG VX8300.) I'm very, very impressed
with it.

I'm using the 30 days free trial on my VX8300 and I
am very impressed by it.

I'd definitely use it if I needed it (you can sign up
on a day-by-day basis for @ $3/day)

I agree. It's impressive. And I also agree it's nice that you don;t have
to pay for it when you don't need it.

Do you know if it will work anywhere, or just on Verizon's digital or
enhanced network?

As I found out driving around Lake George, NY, it needs to be in
Verizon's native digital coverage area. It was unusable when I hit
"Extended Area" networks, at least as far as getting or changing
directions. (I'd imagine that once it's already running a route, it
should continue to work to the destination, since it's not online for
that.)
