According to this blog post, Verizon Wireless said that it is rolling out a service that will tell cell-phone users where they are and give directions to nearby destinations, ranging from gas stations to hospitals to hotels throughout the United States.
The service, VZNavigator, is Verizon's first to be based on the cell-phone user's location and will compete with navigation services that are used in automobiles.
VZNavigator will be made available nationwide beginning next week, said Verizon Wireless spokesman Ken Muche.
