Even on a small screen AtlasBook Navigator offers a clean interface and easy-to-read maps.

Networks in motion showed us their new AtlasBook Navigator platform, which will be the basis for some upcoming carriers’ GPS software, including Verizon’s upcoming upgrade to its VZ Navigator.

The AtlasBook Navigator uses your phone’s positioning to give you local information such as traffic and weather. It will even tell you what movies are playing at the nearest movie theater, without you even entering an address or zip code.

Just imagine you’re on a business trip in an unfamiliar town, you’ve got the evening to yourself, and  you’re dying to go see Run Fat Boy Run to kill the time. You can just search for the movie you want to see and get directions from your location to the nearest theater.

Pretty cool, eh? Check out the video.
