Castro - Thanks for the post it worked perfectly. My issues was a little different, my browser would time out on trying to open the "Get VZ Navigator!" page. After @ 30 minuets on the phone with support they had to open a trouble ticket. I should have looked here first.

Fantastic dude......glad it worked for you. The NAV is TOP NOTCH. Well worth the $10......

Enjoy

I downloaded VZ Navigator fine, but have problems getting it to actually direct me to where i want to go. About half the time, it will work and the other half ot will tell me to exit and try again. Any thoughts on this?

i haven't had that issue either. i use vz nav all the time and i love it. maybe it's a phone issue? try a battery pull or check your memory.

[isaacleese]

U can just download Google Maps...its has GPS built in

Except that the GPS chip in the VZW 8330 is locked to use VZNav only.

google maps seems to work fine though. i guess it uses the cell towers instead? but i use both vz nav and google maps!

[petelajr]

I've only has VZnav for a week and I've had no problems. The discussion on paying for the service is so old it pathetic.

[mariob]

i have had vznav from day one of having the curve and love it it works great i wounder what OS they are running when having problems i bet not the official verzion 4.3 just a guess

let me get your phone number, and I'll be glad to... just gotta do it through e-mail... a slight inconvenience, but I use/like having GPS on my phone better

Once again google maps works great and is GPS.

Google maps will work on a verizon curve, but won't use the GPS for location, just uses tower triangulation, sorry to burst your bubble...

[kpxstar9]

google maps/vz nav both use cell tower triangulation

I love vznav! Have never had 1 issue with it! I love verizon and all there products!

Google maps does, but VZNav does not.

yes, vz nav does lol.

I just want to make sure I am clear on this.

Are you saying that VZNav ues tower traiangulation instead of GPS?

Becuase what I am saying is Google maps uses the tower triangulation and GPS is used for VZNav.

[anon(368121)]

yes, vz nav does lol.

VZNav uses aGPS, which, in simplified form leverages GPS data provided by local cell towers to assist with obtaining a fix for the internal GPS.

Cell tower triangulation is different, and is what GMaps uses to obtain a fairly inaccurate location. VZNav can locate my position within a couple of meters; Google Maps shows me about 1.7Km away from my true location.

[msk_pvd]

I use google maps with the keychain GPS puck and it's scary accurate to the back bedroom of my house.

Anyway, I'm a niche market onto myself -- I need it to find ME, the native Chicagoan, when I'm walking around the drunken cow layout called Boston. One daren't ask a New Englander directions because one gets 10 "best ways" to get somewhere and it's always a geographic hokey pokey. VZNav didn't work too well for me in this instance, but then again, I did not have it on the crackberry but one of their "studip" phones.
