LAS VEGAS and BASKING RIDGE, N.J., April 1, 2008 -- From CTIA WIRELESS 2008, Verizon Wireless, the owner and operator of the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, and Networks In Motion (NIM), the award-winning wireless navigation and hyper-local search company, announced today that the newest version of VZ Navigator(SM) will be available in April on select consumer phones and Windows Mobile devices.

 With the new VZ Navigator (Version 4), customers in 75 cities from coast to coast will be able to access traffic incidents, traffic updates and find detours around traffic congestion and accidents; more cities are expected to be added in the coming year. In addition, VZ Navigator will offer 3D perspective view, a movie and events finder, weather reports and forecasts, and gas prices at nearby gas stations.

Powered by Networks In Motion, Verizon Wireless' VZ Navigator service is a location-based service (LBS) application that utilizes GPS technology and real-time information feeds. When the new version launches in April, customers in 75 cities will be able to access the new traffic integration feature. In these markets, routes will be calculated using both historical and real-time reported traffic information -- the historical information will allow customers to see on average whether the traffic is impacted by traffic lights, heavy traffic or school zones. VZ Navigator's historical data covers over 750,000 miles of roads in 48 states across the nation, making travel time estimates more accurate. The incident and flow information will tell customers how traffic is flowing, and will include details about reported accidents, disabled vehicles and congestion. NIM's Traffic Tracking Center continually monitors conditions along the customers' routes, sending proactive alerts to drivers about conditions ahead of them on their chosen routes. Detour options allow for comparison of ETA and conditions, before selecting a new route. Traffic information is powered by NAVTEQ Traffic.

Lee Daniels, vice president of consumer product development for Verizon Wireless, said, "Real-time reported traffic information and more allows our customers to truly transform their wireless phones into powerful navigation systems, at a fraction of the cost of other GPS devices. When Networks In Motion adds additional functionality to our VZ Navigator service, it enhances our customers' overall wireless experiences."

Other new features customers can expect to see on VZ Navigator (Version 4) include:

    -- Local Movies and Events - Customers can now search for show times,
       critics' ratings and other details for movies, concerts, plays,
       sporting events and other social events based on the physical location
       of their phones.
 
    -- 3D Perspective View - Enhances navigation by displaying maps from
       angles customers would see through car windshields, making it easier to
       visualize turn-by-turn directions.
 
    -- Gas Finder - Provides customers with information on the location of gas
       stations close to their physical location and even provides gas prices
       at many gas stations in the area. Once a customer selects a station, VZ
       Navigator can also provide turn-by-turn directions to the selected
       gas station.
 
    -- Weather - Provides current weather conditions and forecasts based on<
/pre>       the physical location of their phones without manually inputting an       address.
