AT&T’s Navigator now available in 20 countries

If your AT&T smartphone has a built-in GPS chip, then you’ll be pleased to know that AT&T has extended it’s Navigator to global coverage.

What this means is that AT&T Navigator Global Edition comes with voice turn-by-turn directions, or text turn-by-turn directions. Both of these come in different language settings including English, German, Italian, or Spanish.

In addition, coverage is now in 20 countries, which includes many in western Europe, North American, U.S. Caribbean, and six Chinese cities – Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao, Shenyang, Tianjin and Qinhuangdao. The amazing thing about this service, when you think about it, is that you can get directions to so many places, all on your cell phone, many standalone GPS units support only a few more maps than this service.

Also, the Navigator Global Edition sports a business finder, basically, that searches business matches in the US and overseas countries in it’s 19 million plus business and service database. Phones that are capable of this service include AT&T Tilt, BlackBerry 8800, BlackBerry 8820, BlackBerry Curve 8310, BlackBerry Pearl 8110, BlackJack II and MOTO Q9h.

The service costs $19.98, but it’s probably something worth getting if you travel a lot and don’t already have a stand-alone GPS.
