A significant market share of navigation applications (such as Navitel Navigator) took the cards from Google, pre-installed on most of the Android devices. In response to this, the Russian Yandex corporation released its version of the free service to work with GPS, called Yandex. Navigator. Today we will tell you than this program is particularly different.
Three types of cards
Since Yandex Navigator is directly related to the Yandex.maps service, then in the appendix, as in a classmate from Google, not only classic schematic maps are available, but also the view from the satellite and the so-called "folk" (in this case, the map is filled with users themselves).
Such an option is an undoubted advantage: if official cards are missing something, the omission is certainly fixed in folk, and accordingly, on the contrary.
Displaying events on the roads
Since motorists are the main users of navigation programs, the natural and necessary possibility is to monitor what is happening on the roads. Yandex. Navigator can be configured to display a number of events on the roads, ranging from an accident and ending with the overlap of roads.
It is worth noting that road events are marked by other yandex.navigator users, so keep in mind this nuance. Nearest competitors (for example, an application from Navitel) not possess the observation function on roads.
Offline navigation
A similar option is one of the most sought-after in applications for working with GPS. The developers took into account this moment and in their program added the ability to download cards to the device.
All you need is to simply print the name of the city or region and download the map to the device.
Voice control
Useful opportunity to manage Yandex. Navigator with voice. This option is enabled by default.
In addition, in the sound settings, users will find the voice of the navigator - male, female and voice language.
Search options
Unlike colleagues in the shop (for example, Google's cards) in Yandex.Navigator implemented a more visual and understandable system for finding a specific object.
It is enough for users to simply click on the icon with the place of interest, and the objects closest to the current location will be displayed on the map.
We also note that the icon search system is very convenient for motorists users.
Opportunities
Frankly, the options for the settings "for yourself" in Yandex. Navigator a bit. Users can switch between night and daytime modes, turn on 3D views, remove cards and travel history.
Considerable attention to the function is the autocallation of the map depending on the speed of movement.
Information about fines
Users from Russia will be very useful for the unique feature of viewing fines from the traffic police. Access to it is located in the menu, point "PTFS".
From users you will need to enter a number and a series of certificate and registration certificates, as well as the name. The application will show whether the user has a violation, and will also provide the opportunity to pay a fine with the help of Yandex.Money service.
