VZ Navigator - Versions

Versions

On May 8, 2008, Verizon released version 4 of the VZ Navigator software to include Traffic Avoidance (in certain areas) and other features such as Local Movies and Events, 3D Perspective View, Gas Finder and Weather.

Version 4.5.1 of the software adds voice recognition abilities to most menu screens. Simply hold the "Send" key while you speak the name and release when finished. The device will analyze the voice imprint and automatically convert to text. Menu transitions have been added to the GUI for a smoother look. Note: As of this writing, the upgrade must be done from the VZ menu "Upgrade Check" rather than from within VZ Navigator. Checking for updates from within the program show none available. 4.5.1 is a very worthwhile upgrade and further adds to the functionality of the software.

Version 5.1 updated the application User Interface (UI) and routing.

Version 6.1 again updated the application UI and search engine. The formerly proprietary engine (assumed to be Networks In Motion), was replaced by Bing(TM) local search.

Version X updated the application UI and added new traffic avoidance routing technology, day/night mode, and new mapping tools, including satellite view and City views for 6 major cities (Los Angeles, Chicago, Kansas City, Detroit, New York City, Washington DC).

Famous quotes containing the word versions:

    The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
