Verizon Wireless' recently announced VZ Navigator 4 goes live today, offering several new location-based features.

Verizon Wireless announced today that VZ Navigator 4 is now available on select consumer phones. First announced during CTIA Wireless 2008, the newest version of VZ Navigator allows customers in 75 cities from coast to coast to access information about traffic incidents on major roadways, obtain traffic updates and find detours around traffic congestion and accidents. More cities are expected to be added in the coming year.

VZ Navigator uses both historical and real-time reported traffic information, covering over 750,000 miles of roads in 48 states. The traffic tracking center continually monitors conditions along the user's routes, sending proactive alerts to drivers about conditions ahead of them on their chosen routes. In addition, the new version of VZ Navigator offers a 3D perspective view displaying maps from angles users would see through car windshields, a movie and events finder, weather reports and forecasts, and gas prices at nearby gas stations.

VZ Navigator 4 is available now for $10 for unlimited monthly access or $3 for one-day use on select "Get It Now" phones in the "Get Going" section under Travel & Guides or Featured Apps (look deep, in other words).

Verizon Wireless customers who currently have a subscription to VZ Navigator can upgrade on select phones by selecting Options from the main screen of VZ Navigator then selecting Check for updates.

At launch, the following 32 phones are able to access VZ Navigator 4:

  • LG V, enV2, envy, Chocolate, Venus, Voyager, VX5300, VX5400, VX8300, VX8350, VX8600, VX8700, and VX9400
