AT&T Launches AT&T Navigator

AT&T Navigator Now Available on a Suite of GPS-Capable Wireless Devices, Including the New MOTO(TM) Z9
For any one who is constantly on the go but sometimes not quite sure where to go or how to get there, AT&T Navigator is here to pave the way. AT&T Inc. announced today at CTIA Wireless 2008, the immediate availability of its company-branded GPS-enabled navigation service, AT&T Navigator.
AT&T Navigator is designed to provide you with clear and precise audible and visual turn-by-turn driving directions, including full-color moving maps, using GPS directly from your wireless phone. Working with TeleNav, whose navigation service has been available on AT&T PDAs since 2006, AT&T is now introducing its own branded next-generation GPS navigation service for all consumers. The service is available on GPS-capable PDAs and handsets, including the new consumer-focused Motorola Z9.
“AT&T Navigator offers travelers a more convenient alternative than using printed maps or expensive stand-alone navigation devices by allowing them to use a device they always have with them — their wireless phone,” said Mark Collins, vice president of Consumer Data for AT&T’s wireless unit. “AT&T Navigator is an ideal tool for all of our customers, whether they are trying to get directions to a new restaurant uptown, an important business meeting downtown or the high school reunion out of town. It’s truly an example of handset personalization and mobilization at its best.”
The Motorola Z9 is here ….
AT&T Inc. and Motorola, Inc. announced at CTIA Wireless 2008 that the MOTO Z9 slider handset, which is exclusive to AT&T in the U.S., will be the first phone to include AT&T Navigator, bringing the company’s Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation service to an even greater number of AT&T customers.
The MOTO Z9 is the first AT&T consumer phone to offer AT&T Navigator for turn-by-turn directions!
