BASKING RIDGE, N.J., April 6 // - Verizon Wireless customers can now add VZ Navigator(TM) in Spanish to their Get It Now(R) enabled phones to get maps and audible turn-by-turn directions in Spanish to over 14 million points of interest. Verizon Wireless, operator of the nation's most reliable wireless network, today announced the immediate availability of Spanish-enabled VZ Navigator. The downloadable service allows customers to locate points-of-interest relative to their locations, including restaurants, gas stations, banks and more.

Thereafter, customers can change the language for the application independently of the phone setting by going to Options, then Preferences and then Language on their phones.
VZ Navigator is available for $9.99 for unlimited monthly access or $2.99 for 1-day use on select Get It Now enabled phones in the getGOING Tools-on-the-Go shopping aisle of the Get It Now(R) virtual store. The service is available today on the following devices Motorola RAZR V3c and V3m, MOTOKRZR, MOTOSLVR L7c; LG VX 8300, Chocolate by LG, VX8600, The V by LG; and Samsung SCH-u540, SCH-u620, SCH-a990.
