You no doubt saw Fred Langa's awesome piece on hardcore, advanced trip planning. If you're really serious about off-the-beaten track trip planning, there's no substitute for the specialized mapping and routing sites he talks about. But for everyday getting around -- without asking directions -- Verizon Wireless customers using Motorola's V325 phone have a new option.The company announced this week a new GPS service called VZNavigator, which tells you where you are and how to get to your destination, all from the cell phone. It will even "read" those directions in an audible, computerized voice.

VZNavigator costs $9.99 a month for unlimited use or $2.99 for use in one 24-hour period, and becomes available next week.
