In the modern world, movement is an integral part of everyday life. The presence of cars and roads gradually speeds up the already fast pace. The introduction of innovative technologies into the movement process has significantly simplified the implementation of movement.
Software systems that help the driver quickly figure out the route have gained great popularity. In our country, users give the greatest preference to the automated system "Yandex.Navigator", reviews of which eloquently reflect the opinion of users on this matter. And free distribution and unhindered installation on any available device only increase this effect.
"Yandex.Navigator": a brief overview
Yandex.Navigator is available on all currently popular platforms - Android, iOS, Windows Phone. The main task of this software product is to calculate and plot the optimal route for movement. The system is free.
In addition to its main tasks, the navigator shows the presence of traffic jams, accidents and simply road events along the route, the display of which, by the way, can be created by the users themselves, since the functionality allows this. The latest versions implement payment of fines through Yandex.Navigator. Reviews from numerous users vary, but from the overall picture you can understand that the application is truly reliable and necessary. In addition, developers quickly respond to feedback from owners and correct errors that appear.
Application interface
The application interface is essentially a Yandex.Maps service optimized for route calculations. To make it easier to track your current location, in the settings you can switch to 3D mode, which tilts the camera slightly, slightly opening the view in the desired direction.
The map can display current events on the road, such as accidents, traffic jams or road works. You can enable their display using a special filter.
The voice control function can be a very convenient solution for using the navigator while driving. Although the ability to manually select a destination is also present. There are even two of them - in the form of a rubricator and a text line with tips.
For up-to-date and stable operation of the card, a constant Internet connection is required.
Instructions for use
Depending on the existing platform, before you start using Yandex.Navigator, you need to install it. It is available for free in the app stores of the corresponding brand - Android, iOS or Windows.
After the first launch of the application, you should wait until the exact location is determined using GPS or based on cell towers. The system will find the device and display it on the map as a green mark.
When you tap it, a panel with controls will appear at the bottom of the screen. Depending on the current state, their purpose may vary. But before moving, they will have the following functionality:
- "Search". Takes you to the destination menu.
- "Map". This mode is used to go directly to the map from other menus.
- "My places." You can add frequently used routes to this item.
- "Menu". Contains basic program settings.
Application configuration
By switching from the main screen to the settings mode using the “Menu” button, you can set the necessary parameters to your liking. There are actually a lot of functions. Here you can determine how the map will look, select night or day mode, and download complete sets of maps.
As for the sound notification, here you can also set the language and select the announcer’s voice. The current version allows you to install one of 4 options: Dima, Oksana, Utkin and Fyodor Bondarchuk, added in one of the latest updates to the Yandex.Navigator application. Reviews, by the way, are full of user reports that their gadget now speaks in the voice of a famous director.
Additionally, you can configure what events you want to notify about, for example, speeding. Other settings include updates, events and synchronization.
You can also view available fines online from the menu and pay them immediately. To do this, just enter your driver's license number, registration certificate and your first and last name.
The “My trips” item allows you to view travel statistics. However, for this you will need to log in to the Yandex service.
If something bad happened on the road and the car was broken down, you can call a tow truck from the menu. Requests for assistance in starting the car, delivering fuel or changing a wheel are also available.
Building a route
To build a route to your destination, you need to wait until the device’s location is determined. Then touch the screen to display a pop-up menu. In it you need to select the “Search” button. If you have already traveled along this route using a navigator, it is saved in the “History” tab. If you need a new one, then you can create it in three ways.
In cases where the destination belongs to frequently visited places, such as cafes, restaurants, gas stations, cinemas and others, then a simple method would be to use a rubricator. By finding a category and clicking on it, you can see marks on the map of all places belonging to this type. When you select one of them, you will be asked to get directions using the “Here” button.
You can also enter the destination definition manually using the keyboard or by voice. After pronouncing the desired address, the system will recognize and offer the most suitable option. The target is also selected from the list and the route is calculated.
Movement
After the strip along which you need to move is displayed on the map, just click on the “Let’s go” button to start moving. It is worth noting that Yandex.Navigator can offer several route options, the description of which will indicate the approximate travel time.
Once you find your destination on the map, it will appear with a blue mark. When you click on it, a context menu will appear, through which the route calculation begins. If, instead of the “Here” button, you click on the top part of the menu, a panel with information about this point, phone number, operating mode and other information will be displayed. Here you can move this item to the “My Places” category in order to visit it later, or call directly from the application by activating the item with the phone number line.
While driving, the navigator will periodically notify the driver about the need to turn in the desired direction using the selected voice. Moreover, the color of the route strip may be different depending on the traffic congestion. For example, green means that the path is clear, and red means there is a congestion or traffic is difficult. The map also displays speed cameras, which is very convenient.
"Yandex.Navigator": user reviews
The navigator has become a part of the lives of many drivers. For example, the application has been downloaded more than 10 million times from Google Play. "Yandex.Navigator" for Android, the reviews of which are very varied, occupies a leading position among other navigation programs in this store.
Users note that the application is accessible, but there are some shortcomings. Some people would like to see the fuel type displayed on the map along with gas station icons. Many complaints are directed at the fact that the navigator does not always build an accurate route or calculates it without taking into account detours and shortcuts.
Users were also amused by the voice of Fyodor Bondarchuk, added several updates ago to Yandex.Navigator for Android. User reviews immediately notified this. The director’s speech sounds exactly as everyone is accustomed to, with characteristic phrases and turns of phrase.
In general, we can conclude that users are satisfied with the application and are willing to install Yandex.Navigator on Android. Reviews are mostly positive. In addition, the development team responds to them very quickly.
The place of the artist’s funeral is still unknown
All phones in the Karachentsov family are busy or turned off. I can’t get through to Lenkom - the theater is busy organizing a funeral. The stage has not seen its artist for thirteen years, and on Monday he will be on it for the last time.
But suddenly Nikolai Petrovich’s daughter-in-law, Irina, answers the phone; she is a pediatrician.
After all, his birthday is on Saturday. And the doctors told us that the count was no longer in months, but in days.
Ira is calm and says that, in principle, they were all ready for such an outcome. But as often happens, everything expected happens suddenly and unexpectedly. Ten days ago, Nikolai Karachentsov was admitted to Hospital No. 62, specialized in his cancer.
- Ira, what condition was Nikolai Petrovich in? Did you recognize you? In memory or...
When we brought him to the hospital ten days ago, he was still lucid. And until the last moment consciousness remained, and only when he was admitted to intensive care did his consciousness begin to become confused. He spoke in a whisper and called his mother all the time.
- Your mother?
Yes, my own. At night I woke up and said: “Have you seen my mother?” - this is only in the last days. Petya, our eldest, woke up yesterday, as he felt, he says to me: “I want to go with Koka to say goodbye” - “Why today? Let’s all go on Saturday and wish you a happy birthday,” I say. But then I finally decided that I would take him to the hospital to see Nikolai Petrovich.
- Did he recognize Petya?
Yes, it was visible, although the consciousness was already confused. And he also kissed my hand. His nurse, Yana, saw this. Petya is crying. Yanochka was crying, but Olya is little, she doesn’t understand much.
Ira, for the last thirteen years Nikolai Petrovich has lived a different life, which he never thought about. But the 2005 accident changed everything. What struck you about him?
What was most impressive was that he never complained. I have never seen or heard anything like that from him, nor moaning, nor crying, nor anything like that. He wasn't shy, didn't hide. I went to see my grandchildren. With Lyudmila Andreevna he loved to go to the theater and the circus. He did not become depressed and accepted, as I think now, everything that happened to him. And even the last illness - cancer... He accepted it too.
Still, as a result of the accident, parts of his brain were seriously damaged. Many believed that this prevented him from adequately perceiving reality. But, for example, when I saw Nikolai Petrovich, I was sure that he understood everything.
He understood everything very well. Yes, his speech was impaired, his working memory was poor (he forgot where he put the cup or put the watch), but as for assessments - people or phenomena - everything was in order. He watched the performance and could define its value in one word. He understood everything related to his profession perfectly.
I personally was pleased that he kept asking about his grandchildren (Nikolai Petrovich has three grandchildren, Ole and Yana - 3.5 and 13 years old, Petya - 16, - M.R.). And this despite the fact that it was hard for him himself, but he (I already said this) did not complain. He loved to travel and asked Lyudmila Andreevna all the time: “Where are we going to fly?” We went until recently: in May, for example, we were in Israel, received treatment there, and went to the Dead Sea.
Before the accident, Nikolai Petrovich lived, so to speak, in victorious mode: success, fans, a lot of work. Naturally, many friends. After the accident - this terrible disaster - did you still have friends?
In our case, the ranks did not thin out. I don’t know those who turned away from him or disappeared. His beloved partner Inna Mikhailovna Churikova always comes and calls. Today there is a performance at Lenkom with her in the title role - “The Lioness of Aquitaine”. She or Dima Pevtsov will come out before the start and talk about Nikolai Petrovich. They will play in his memory. The theater also helped and is helping, especially now. Everything related to funerals is handled by the theater. Nikolai Petrovich's dressing room, that is, those who sat in the same dressing room with him... who are alive, always come. And the family's new friends are wonderful doctors. These are his guardian angels. Especially two doctors about whom I simply cannot help but mention are Vladimir Viktorovich Krylov, a neurosurgeon, he operated on Nikolai Petrovich in 2005, and the second doctor who treated Nikolai Petrovich after he was diagnosed with cancer - Daniil Lvovich Stroyakovsky, head Chemotherapy department in the 62nd hospital. And there, Pavel Vyacheslavovich Kononets - they took care of Nikolai Petrovich to the last, and even realizing that the disease was out of control, nothing could be changed, they did everything to make his care easier. For a year and a half, he was accompanied by his attending physician Tatyana Borisovna Strelnikova. These people could be called at any time of the day or night.
- Is it already known in which cemetery Nikolai Petrovich will be buried?
No, we don't know yet. It seems that at first they wanted to go to Novodevichy, but it seems that this is impossible. We hope that there are many of his comrades at Vagankovsky. The funeral will take place on Monday.
Yandex.Navigator is one of the most common navigators for Android OS in Russia. The application boasts rich functionality, an interface entirely in Russian and the absence of intrusive advertising. Another indisputable advantage is that it is absolutely free. The rest of the article will tell you how to use Yandex.Navigator on your smartphone.
After reading the material below, you will learn how to set up a navigator, get directions online and offline, and use its additional tools in unexpected situations on the road.
Step 1: Install the application
To download Yandex.Navigator on an Android smartphone, follow the link below, click on the button "Install" and wait for the application to finish downloading to your smartphone.
Step 2: Setup
- In order for the navigator to be convenient to use, you need to customize it for yourself. Therefore, after installation, go to Yandex.Navigator by clicking on the application icon on the desktop of your smartphone.
- When you first launch it, two requests for permission to allow the application to access geolocations and the microphone will pop up on the screen. For Yandex.Navigator to work correctly, it is recommended to give your consent - click "Allow" in both cases.
- Next, click on the button "Menu" in the lower right corner of the screen and go to "Settings". First there will be a column of settings related to the card. Let's consider only those that really affect the use of the navigator.
- Go to the tab "Card view" and choose between standard street and road maps or satellite. Everyone sees maps differently, but schematic maps are more convenient to use.
- To use the navigator offline, go to the menu item and click on the search bar. Next, select the proposed maps of countries, regions, territories, cities and numerous provinces or use the search by writing the name of the area you need.
- To change your location icon, go to the tab "Cursor" and choose one of three options.
- Another important settings column is "Sound".
- To select a voice assistant, go to the tab "Speaker" and select the voice acting you are interested in. In foreign languages there will be standard male and female voices, and six positions are available in Russian.
- For complete convenience, it is advisable to leave the remaining three items enabled. Voice activation will help you navigate your route without taking your eyes off the road. Just say the destination address after the command "Listen, Yandex".
Once you confirm your permissions, a map will open with an arrow icon showing your location.
To select the language you are interested in, in which the navigator will show you the route and other information about the road, go to the appropriate tab and click on one of the proposed languages. Then, to return to settings, click on the arrow in the upper left corner.
This concludes the basic settings for ease of use of the navigator. There will be a few more items at the bottom of the list of parameters, but they are not so significant that we need to focus on them.
Step 3: Using the Navigator
After that, you just have to follow the instructions of the announcer. But do not forget that this is a technique that can sometimes make mistakes. Pay close attention to the road and road signs.
Yandex.Navigator can also show traffic congestion to avoid getting stuck in a traffic jam. To activate this function, click on the traffic light icon in the upper right corner. After this, the city's roads will become multi-colored, which indicates how busy they are at the moment. Roads are green, yellow, orange and red - the gradation goes from a free road to a long-term traffic jam.
For user convenience, Yandex.Navigator developers have added the function of indicating comments on road events, which are available to any driver or pedestrian who is not indifferent to incidents. If you want to add an event, click on the triangle icon with a plus inside.
A list of pointers that you can place on the map with any comment will immediately open at the top of the screen. Whether it's an accident, road repairs, cameras or any other incident, select the desired sign, write a comment, point to the desired place and click "Install".
Then a small pointer will be visible on the map at this location. Click on it and you will see information from the user.
Recently, Yandex.Navigator added a function for displaying parking lots. To activate it, click on the button in the lower left corner in the form of an English letter "P".
Now on the map you will see all the parking spaces available in the locality where you are. They will be highlighted with blue stripes.
At this step, the main work with the navigator is completed. Additional options will be discussed next.
Step 4: Work offline
If you don’t have the Internet at hand, but have a working smartphone with a GPS receiver, then Yandex.Navigator will help you get to the right point in this case too. But only on the condition that maps of your area have already been downloaded to your smartphone or the route you have previously built has been saved.
With the available maps, the route construction algorithm will be similar to the online mode. And in order to save the required route in advance, click on the button "My places".
The next step is to indicate your home and work addresses, and in the line "Favorites" add the addresses where you often go.
Now to use the app offline with pre-loaded maps, say a voice command "Listen, Yandex" and specify or manually select the place where you want to route.
Step 5: Working with Tools
The menu has a group of tabs called "Tools", and several of them may be useful to you. They only work with an active Internet connection on your Android smartphone.
This concludes our instructions for using the application. There are many interesting and long-existing solutions of this kind, but Yandex.Navigator boldly holds among them in good standing with many users. Therefore, feel free to install it on your device and enjoy it.
Until relatively recently, the navigation software market offered users only expensive solutions from companies specializing in the production of such products. However, after Google's applications became freely available, competitors also had to make some concessions. Thus, users learned about the free Yandex.Navigator, which in our time is able to work successfully even without the Internet.
Yandex.Navigator – description
Yandex.Navigator is a breakthrough in the field of navigation applications that helps drivers get from point “A” to point “B” in a significantly shorter period of time. The program itself will calculate how best to get you to the desired place, and will also take into account traffic jams and road events (accidents and accidents), road repairs and road closures. The driver is always offered several options (up to three) for overcoming a certain section of the route, with the fastest one listed first. In the event that the route goes along a toll road, you will be warned about this as well.
When the car is in motion, the screen of the device used will display the remaining distance, measured not only in kilometers, but also in minutes. In order not to distract you from the traffic situation once again, the developers also took care of voice guidance.
Appearance
The appearance of Yandex.Navigator (user interface) is one of the strengths of this application. The main screen has three tabs: "Search", "Map" And "Favorites". In turn, translucent buttons are applied to the map to change the scale (increase or decrease) and return to displaying the current position. There is also a compass and a traffic indicator, where information is provided in points. By clicking on this indicator, you can turn off the display of information about traffic jams.
An interesting design solution is the multi-colored coloring of the line of the marked route. The choice of color (from red to green) depends on the intensity of vehicle traffic on a particular section of the road, and the load graph itself is presented in the form of a thin multi-colored line located above the map. Thanks to this feature, you can estimate the duration of the ride along the remaining section of the route, taking into account all possible obstacles. The time remaining to the final point is also displayed on the map, but information about the current speed and other trip parameters remains hidden.
Functions
Among the main functions of Yandex.Navigator are the following:
constructing routes on the map (we will tell you in more detail about how to enter coordinates into Yandex.Navigator a little later);
You can carry out the driver’s voice commands, that is, you can plot a route or mark an accident on the map by simply saying it out loud. The driver turns to Yandex.Navigator and, after waiting for the appropriate sound signal, gives a command: for example, “Yandex, let's go to the station!”
Possibility of loading maps into the cache and their further use without access to the Internet. This feature distinguishes the application from other similar ones.
How to use the program
Using Yandex.Navigator usually does not cause any difficulties in installation and operation, but there are still some features.
How to install Yandex.Navigator
First of all, it should be noted that The application can only work successfully with iOS or Android devices. This means that you can download Yandex.Navigator from the AppStore or PlayMarket. After downloading the application and confirming all permissions, installation will begin.
There is no need to download maps separately from the application, since they are pulled from the Internet themselves (of course, if the network connection is active) and are stored in the device’s memory cache as needed. It is also worth remembering that downloading the entire map, as happens in Yandex.Maps, will not work here.
Yandex.Navigator does not require any special settings. To determine location, the system Location API is used, which, in addition to GPS satellites, can also work through base stations or Wi-Fi (the function is activated in the operating system settings). As soon as you install the application on your smartphone, you can start using Yandex.Navigator.
How to set up your navigator
Having familiarized yourself with the Yandex.Navigator settings, you will notice that they allow you to enable/disable automatic switching to the night map display mode, select categories of custom points displayed on the screen, and also provide the ability to change the voice of the prompts (male, female) or disable it. The settings also display the amount of memory that is used for caching maps (avoiding the need for constant loading).
To customize the appearance of the map, you need to perform several sequential steps:
1. Click on the bottom of the screen;
2.
Press the "Menu" button; 
3. In this section, select:
“Map View” (used to enable the “Outline”, “Satellite” or “People’s Map” modes).
Settings → Maps:
Night mode - activates a gentle screen mode when using the application in the dark. If the driver wants to control the mode manually, you need to select the “On” or “Off” button. To automatically switch modes, click “Auto”.
Besides, There are also some other modes in the settings:
3D mode- turns on the three-dimensional display of the map.
Autoscale- helps to automatically change the map scale as the vehicle moves.
"The North is always up"- fixes the map relative to the cardinal points.
There is nothing complicated in the settings, which means that all that remains is to figure out how to use Yandex.Navigator correctly.
How to get directions
When the driver sets a route, the system automatically offers him two alternative travel options - the fastest and the shortest. Information about the length and time it takes to travel a section of the route can be seen on two tabs located at the top of the screen. The routes themselves are also visible on the map.
Once selected, the route will be laid out only once and will not change in any way while moving. Even if the driver deviates from the specified path, it will still remain the same, still displayed on the map. How can you build a new route in Yandex.Navigator? In fact, you just need to re-use the search, specifying the name of the endpoint in it. Your location is determined automatically.
You can set the route in another way - by sound command. However, in this case, you need to speak clearly and distinctly, otherwise the application will not be able to recognize the command. It is better to turn off voice prompts immediately, since the program sometimes confuses “right” and “left”.
How to use Yandex.Navigator without the Internet
There are situations when there is no Internet connection, and there is nowhere to look for it on the road. In this case, you should take care of the signs in advance and download the necessary maps to your smartphone.
Which devices are suitable?
The first versions of the Yandex.Navigator application were distinguished by the need for a constant connection to the network. Despite the fact that the volume of transmitted data is not so large, there are still places where mobile Internet is completely absent.
It’s good that the latest update of the application already partially allows you to use Yandex Navigator without the Internet, and owners of devices running Android or iOS (including not only smartphones, but also iPads and Android tablets) were able to download a vector map of the region of interest in special settings section.The new version of Yandex.Navigator is already available for download in the AppStore and Google Play.
How to enable the feature
To activate the application without connecting to the Internet, you need to:
1. Go to the Yandex.Navigator application installed on the device you are using (smartphone or tablet).
2. Go to the "Menu" section.
3. Click the “Download maps” button and select from the list of available regions the one that suits you (you can find the desired area either by scrolling through the list or by searching).
4.
Select one of the possible download types: for example, “Review” or “Full”.
Thus, you can download maps in advance (when the Internet is available), and use them anywhere, even if there is no network there.
Note!If the device you are using is equipped with a GPS module, then you will be able to see your current location on the diagram and, even without navigation, determine where exactly you should go.
The size of the downloaded file is always indicated next to the type of map, and it should be noted that sometimes it can be quite significant. This is why it is better to download over Wi-Fi. With further use, you will be able to view maps without connecting to the network, although building a route on the road will still require an Internet connection. That is, such a solution cannot be called completely autonomous. Downloaded vector maps only reduce the amount of transmitted data, but even this is a significant advantage, and in some cases turns out to be a real salvation for drivers who find themselves in an area without coverage from mobile operators.
Let us remind you that you will be able to find out how Yandex.Navigator works offline only after updating the current version (if it has not been updated automatically).
Pros and cons of offline mode
There are several positive aspects of using the new feature:
Firstly, if there is no Internet at all, you can still view the previously downloaded map, and in the case when the device you are using also has a GPS module (which is not news for modern smartphones and tablets), it is possible to see your location.
Secondly, even with the mobile Internet running, maps will load much faster, and it doesn’t matter whether you just want to view them or set a route. This does not waste traffic.
Third, the advantage of the updated version of Yandex.Navigator, which allows you to use the application offline, is a vector map with a better appearance and clearer image. Its volume is smaller than a raster one, which means it will require less space in the phone. Moreover, all buildings in the updated version are three-dimensional.
Unfortunately, the matter is not limited to advantages alone, and the disadvantages of the updated version of Yandex.Navigator are also noticeable. The most significant of them include the impossibility of building a route without an Internet connection. However, if you have planned a route in advance while the Internet is active, it will be saved on the map (the presence of a GPS module will allow you to see your movement on the map). Also, do not forget that if you turn off the given route, a new one will not be laid.
In any case, as on devices with the Android operating system, using Yandex Navigator on an iPhone is a pleasure, because traveling with such an “assistant” is much more enjoyable.
You can customize the interface and functionality of the map - select (enable):

How to use Yandex Navigator and Yandex Maps without an Internet connection
The Russian company Yandex has greatly pleased all motorists in Russia by fulfilling their ten-year dream - now the branded applications Yandex Navigator and Yandex Maps can be used without an Internet connection. This opportunity was brought with it by a major update, which became available for download and installation on iPhone, iPad and Android devices on December 1, 2017. Updated versions of applications can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play stores completely free of charge.
Many Russians have a simple question - how to use the Yandex Navigator and Yandex Maps services without an Internet connection, so as not to waste mobile Internet traffic when traveling around the city or while traveling. In fact, everything is incredibly simple and convenient, but it is worth noting that constantly using the offline navigation mode is not very rational, since in this case information about the situation on the roads (traffic jams, accidents, closures, etc.) will not be possible to find out, and the navigation software will build a route without taking into account traffic congestion.
In order for the Yandex Navigator and Yandex Maps applications to work without an Internet connection, you need to update them to the latest version from the Google Play store (Android) or App Store (iOS), then launch it, go to the “Menu” section, and then select "Offline maps" option. Select the desired region from the list, and then load the map into the built-in memory. That's it, you don't need to do anything else.
Now, to use the application offline, you just need to turn off your mobile Internet or Wi-Fi, then build your route and follow it. For convenience and to save traffic, you can disable mobile Internet traffic only for the Yandex Navigator and Yandex Maps applications. The corresponding settings are available on iPhone, iPad and Android devices. However, if maps are loaded into the device’s memory, then during navigation with a network connection, only information about the traffic situation will be downloaded - this greatly saves Internet traffic.
He noted that the Yandex company, despite the introduction of an offline mode, recommends checking maps at least once a month for updates, since new roads are often opened in Russian cities, or rules change, so over time the map may become irrelevant.
