Before reviewing navigators, it should be said that the concept of "best" is very vague. It's all about personal preference and taste. What suits one person may not suit another. This is explained by different needs, tasks and conditions of use. But still, today there are several options for the most popular navigators. They really deserve trust and ratings of at least 4 out of 5. These navigators have confirmed their functionality, usefulness and usefulness to people. So let's get started.
NAVITEL
NAVITEL is the first to come into view. Almost all navigation programs for Android pale in front of the popularity of this utility. This is easy to explain, since NAVITEL has a very friendly interface, rich functionality, the ability to view maps of cities not only in Russia, but throughout the world. This program can be safely called "pop", as itinstalled by most users who have gadgets on the Android OS. The very functionality of the "Navitel" navigator is quite enough for normal use. But there are also bad reviews in the form of reports of deviations in the route or positioning of the vehicle. It should be said that this is not a "bug" of the program itself. Most often, these failures depend on the weather or the built-in GPS module in the gadget.
iGO Primo
Second in the list of "Best Navigation Apps for Android" is iGO Primo. This is a fairly simple and very functional program. It is adapted to almost all mobile devices with GPS modules. Naturally, the most popular mobile OS is no exception. Users appreciated such original and very useful features as a message about two upcoming maneuvers and the ability to set the route for the driver to return to the car if it is in an unfamiliar place. Additionally, detailed maps of almost all cities of our country are provided. According to these indicators, the iGO navigation program for Android takes the lead.
City Guide
This navigation program has gained popularity among those people who often travel around the city. These are taxi drivers, delivery service employees, etc. The thing is that City Guide provides complete information in real mode about the presence and size of traffic jams. Also notable is the ability to use free OSM maps. In general, if we compare all navigation programs for"Android", the City Guide is the most suitable for use within a specific locality (especially a metropolis).
Yandex. Navigator
Navigator from one of the most famous companies - "Yandex", has become a practical replacement for standard maps. There is a huge number of detailed maps of cities and small towns in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. This navigation program is very often already pre-installed in smartphones and tablets sold on our shelves. It is useful and functional.
Google Maps
This navigation program, as well as Yandex. Navigator, is already pre-installed in all devices running Android OS. The thing is that the operating system itself is a development of Google. The fact that this is the most complete navigator cannot be said. But its functionality and capabilities are quite enough to correctly navigate the terrain and plot routes.
Sygic: GPS Navigation
Perhaps this navigation program is not the most popular in the CIS, but the world community has confirmed that it is the best. This fact obliges to pay attention to it. All existing navigation programs for Android can be safely called inferior against the background of this monster. Sygic: GPS Navigation can work with detailed maps called TomTom. At the same time, the user has full access to all information about attractions, restaurants,gas stations, hospitals, traffic jams, traffic lights, cameras, etc. Additionally, there are voice prompts and a pedestrian mode. Unfortunately, this navigation program does not work on all devices. But if it fits your gadget, you can be sure that Sygic: GPS Navigation will stay in it for a long time.
Conclusions
Having considered the most popular navigation programs for Android (tablets and smartphones), we can conclude that each utility is good in its own way. It all depends on the taste preferences of users. Some choose functionality and the presence of a large number of possibilities. Others - ease of use and a minimum of settings. But it is worth saying that the above list is not complete, since there are many worthy navigation programs. Some are good for hiking, others are good for sightseeing travel. For this reason, it is recommended that you try them yourself and draw your own conclusions.
