Reliable maps and navigation solution
With its wide range of user-friendly features and super-detailed maps, Yandex Maps and Navigator is the ultimate travel companion. It comes with a smooth and easy-to-understand user interface, along with accurate and real-time navigation data to help users find their way. Being online is not an issue, too, as the maps can be downloaded and viewed when offline.
Similar to Google Maps and Waze, this free-to-use app also allows users to look up the quickest routes from one destination to another. On top of all that, Yandex Maps and Navigator also come with a voice assistant named Alice.
Ultimate and powerful navigation tool
Employing the use of the device’s internal GPS abilities, Yandex Maps and Navigator works just like its competitors but focuses specifically on countries like Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine, with a few extra features. It is highly useful when users need to navigate, find directions and locations, and form routes to and from those destinations. Plus, it supports multiple languages, from Russian, English, Turkish, and Ukrainian to Uzbek.
Users can also rely on it in checking establishment’s operating hours. Through Alice’s help, the user can use the app to look for restaurants, malls, and other hangout spots. At the same time, Alice can help in booking appointments or calling someone from the contacts list. Users can also use the app to pay for gas at around 8,000 stations in Russia.
Furthermore, it presents up to 30 days’ worth of public transport timetables, so you will never be late when commuting. It also offers real-time traffic and metro station congestion data. Although, as mentioned, this handy app’s scope is mainly focused on Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, and a few other countries—you would want an alternative in case you are not traveling in these places.
Only ideal for those in specific countries
Thanks to its built-in voice assistant, real-time and detailed traffic data, and other information, Yandex Maps and Navigator is a powerful tool to have when traveling. It also features timetables for public transport as well as the best routes from one point to another. However, since its data is mostly focused on Ukraine, Russia, and Turkey, it may not be the best companion when you are out and about elsewhere.
