AT&T announced, that AT&T Navigator Global Edition can be used in 20 countries on AT&T-powered smartphones featuring built-in GPS capabilities. The Global Edition includes most countries in western Europe, North America and the U.S. Caribbean as well as the six cities in China that will host Beijing Summer Olympics events. The service is available on the AT&T Tilt, BlackBerry 8800, BlackBerry 8820, BlackBerry Curve 8310, BlackBerry Pearl 8110, BlackJack II and MOTO Q 9h global smartphones.

“The introduction of AT&T Navigator Global Edition is just another example of how AT&T is the nation’s leading provider of international wireless services,” said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Mobility Marketing and Operations for AT&T’s wireless operation. “AT&T not only gives customers the ability to use their mobile phones in more countries than any other U.S. carrier, they now can use our robust GPS-based navigation offering whether at home or abroad to easily get from point A to point B or to find and get directed to a local business or service.”

AT&T Navigator Global Edition provides customers with many of the same features as AT&T’s popular domestic GPS-based navigation service, AT&T Navigator. Customers can get spoken or text-based turn-by-turn directions — in English, German, Italian or Spanish — and are rerouted automatically if they miss a turn. AT&T Navigator Global Edition also features a local “business finder” service, which allows customers to find the locations of businesses by category or by specific name with the click of a button using AT&T Navigator’s GPS-based navigation capabilities.

The service is available through AT&T retail stores nationwide and AT&T direct business sales channels for $19.98 per month.
