Well.. for those of us with older non-smart phones, the Verizon Navigator makes sense if you want GPS on your phone. I don't pay for it on mine, but I can see some people paying for it. The versions for the smart phone don't make a whole lot of sense, except that there will always be some people who had it for their old phones and don't want to change.

As for the VVM thing... I don't get the point of VVM or what's cool about it. I don't pay for it and never wanted to go to the trouble of figuring out how to configure the google one. I live without it.. but I could understand people paying for that too if they were interested in it... since a lot of people are lazy like me and don't want to figure out how to make something work if they can just pay for something that just works

I'm both lazy AND cheap so I don't use VVM at all.. lol

Something else to think about, Google Maps is free... with an UNLIMITED data plan. Let's wait to see how much LTE costs when packages are announced and see who wants to waste data on a "Free" service...

The new maps uses vector graphics.... it doesn't use a ton of data.

Why would you PAY Verizon for a navigation app when the phone comes with one for FREE?

VZNav is a little more intuitive than Google's nav. Gnav IMO is more for straight-line stuff and doesn't include directional preferences, traffic alterations, etc.

VVM is dumb to pay for especially with Google Voice free and available.

Now as I said in my other post I can see why someone would pay for a more robust navigation program over the basic google nav.
