Previously it was announced that RIM would be using TomTom for an upcoming navigation app in BlackBerry 10. Turns out, there is also going to be a BlackBerry 7 version too.

BlackBerry Navigator has been launched for UK users in Beta Zone. Here’s some of its features:

Navigation & Traffic

• Real-time turn-by-turn spoken directions to destination
• Automatic re-routing if a turn is missed.
• Preview route steps and upcoming turns.
• Trip summary and overview map with entire trip highlighted.
• 3D map view simulates what the user should expect to see ahead.
• Spoken directions include both maneuvers and actual street name pronunciations so that users can focus on the road and not the screen for a safer driving experience.

Local Search

• Local Search – provides information for nearby hotels and restaurants as well as other POIs, such as businesses, attractions, and events. Narrow the search by choosing sub-categories.
• One-touch calling feature – dials the place’s phone number for the subscriber.
• Save directory results to the address book for future use.
• Home screen shortcuts – Easily create home screen shortcuts for “click to go” to frequent or important destinations.

Extras

• 7 digits postcode support
• BBM Integration – Send location enabled messages to your BBM contacts.
• Facebook – Keep your friends and family updated by posting your location or favorite cafe to Facebook.
• Contacts App Integration – Get directions to a contact right from your device’s contacts.
• Day/Night Mode – Automatic Day and Night Mode.
