VZ Navigator Reviews

by It's 5o'clocksomewhere

I don't know who all these people are that think VZNavigator is awesome but I just downloaded VZNavigator because mapquest needed wifi & on the road traveling did not have available so I thought since I have Verizon service this would work..WRONG!!! Only worked when I lucked out and got in where could use personal hot spot..Frustrating & scary,,am deleting

Totally useless,,,
If you are not connected to WiFi absolutely no help, and when you are traveling who has access to WiFi on the road?? Deleted!!!

It probably would be a top contender 12 years ago. The voice directions sounds like they were made with a Speak & Spell.

The only good thing for it is, in CT and NY we have small highways, (Parkways) NO commercial vehicles. I’m not driving a big rig, just a commercial van and will get a ticket on those roads. This will let you chose truck routes and it did bypass the Parkways. However:

It was constantly confused or changed it’s mind/route. It showed to take the next exit including the highway sign but just as you were about to go that way it then showed to correct exit that was 6 miles down the highway!! Also sent me past the location I was going to twice today.

Dropped it the first day. Back to IOS Maps and looking for something with the truck option.

I discovered this service charging me $5 a month so I tried to remove it. VZNavigator refuses to access my account so I can’t disable it. It says the servers are not responding. The online Verizon site doesn’t give the option to remove the service, even when the FAQ says it can.
Is it an old app Verizon forgot to upgrade, or is it just another fee scam to tack a charge onto my bill? Same result either way.

It’s get stuck to my gps...I tried to delete and reinstall it but it still does it..maybe VZNavigator update will fix it..but it has been 10 months since you update VZNavigator how many more months before you fix the problem when you update VZNavigator again...iPhone X and it his updates with the software

I’ve used VZNavigator for several years but decided to cancel my subscription due to a growing dissatisfaction with performance. VZNavigator has become noticeably sluggish. Takes a while to initially orient itself and then to reorient itself after you miss navigation instructions that were slow in coming. During a recent trip to San Diego I decided to use Google Maps instead and found it to work better than Verizon Navigator. In a couple of instances, Google guided me to take routes that were less complex and a bit quicker compared to Navigator. I didn’t mind paying $5 a month for Navigator when it performed well. Now there are better (and free) alternatives.

Used VZNavigator for at least 10 years. Used to be by far the most reliable GPS out there and didn’t mind paying $5 a month even when there were free options. But since getting the iPhone X it crashes constantly. Takes 2-3 times to find your location. Have to restart constantly. When it works it works well but are they kidding?!? In an era of multiple totally free options this needs to be spectacular to warrant the cost!!

Have had VZNavigator for about ten years and it used to be very reliable but it has gotten glitchy. Cannot find me in places it never had trouble before. Have to almost always retry getting directions to get it going. Seems more sluggish now. Contemplating ending my subscription.

Used to be great but in last yr not as reliable as it used to be. The directions work great most of the time but It gets confused every time u are driving on a bridge over another street cause it cant tell anymore which youre on. Lots of the time itll tell me it cant locate me but that didnt used to be a problem.
Got me all the way down to an address in Spring Hill TN but that night when I left it wouldnt work. I drove a little on my own thinking I might remember how to get back to the expressway and got lost... and then asked some guy in a truck at a stoplight surrounded by lots of land and trees. Lucky for me he wasnt a psycho.
Verizon if you really cared you would fix this stuff.

I don’t know why anyone uses VZNavigator. I am currently trying it for free. It’s been about ten years since I used VZNavigator. It’s was useful back in the day. However it is now useless as Google maps does a far superior job. I like the fact that it displays your speed and such, but it’s just now worth it. Even if it was free I probably wouldn’t use it. Verizon we pay you plenty for your service the least you can do is let us use a useless app free.

VZNavigator is ok. Not excited considering the price. But for VZNavigator I have to pay I would like it won't crash every other time I start it or calculating the route or while I'm driving. The traffic info is not as good as google or apple maps. So as I said it's just ok.

by Pathminder

VZNavigator is subject to the connection to the internet and I’m finding Verizon has less coverage than they used to. More dropped calls and lost connections than ever. From almost never to everyday.

Gonna be looking for better service...

Accurate, lately it has had issues downloading when I'm distant from home

by BellaDonnaX

I love it because it keeps my route simple and when I decide to not follow the directions and take a shortcut, it recovers quickly. The other apps seem to be figuring out the most convoluted way to get to my destination. I looked up today's destination on another app and it made the drive look a bit daunting so I left really early just in case I got lost and had to be rerouted. VZ Navigator got me here in no time with absolutely no wrong turns so I'm sitting outside with over an hour to wait for my appointment. But I'd rather be early than late.

Simply put, this is the most accurate and put together navigation app. I have used several different ones, since I travel quite a bit for my business.
This will be the only navigation app I will ever use again!!! Perfect navigation, at its finest! Thank you Verizon!!!

I have used VZNavigator for years and love it. Other people in my vehicle use different map apps and they get put into the wrong spot. VERIZON always puts us in the right spot every time.
