The latest smartphones can replace many useful things: a camera, a camcorder, an Internet access tool, a multimedia player, GPS and others. It is about the last function - GPS - we will talk in our article, because navigation for iPhone
can now be provided with many good applications. Consider 3 of the most popular of them. These are programs "Navitel", "Yandex-navigator" and "Google Maps" navigator.
Navitel navigator
The maps of this application are programmed by Russian developers, and therefore the coverage of our country is quite extensive, which served as the basis for the popularity of this program. In addition to Russia, there are other countries in the database, including post-Soviet and Eastern European countries. But, unfortunately, sometimes there are errors (even on the map of Moscow). In addition to this drawback, there is a much bigger minus - poor adaptation for the iPhone. The reasons for this are the imperfect interface and insufficient performance, because sometimes the movement is jerky. However, there are enough pluses: in addition to the breadth of coverage, the user can receive all the necessary informationabout traffic jams, accidents, road works. Navitel iPhone will cost $60. The free version is valid for 30 days. Navigator for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch can be downloaded from the App Store.
Yandex navigator
Already based on the fact that navigation for the iPhone from Yandex is free, we can conclude that this is not a core area for the company. And this is confirmed by the facts that maps are rarely updated, and the coverage area is not too large. However, the interface does not cause any complaints - everything is convenient, clear and works without problems. The speed is also good, the cards do not slow down, and you can connect to the satellite in a matter of seconds. There is the possibility of displaying traffic jams, traffic police posts. In general, not bad enough for lovers of "freebies". Like all other applications, you can download the navigator from the App Store.
Google Maps
The last iPhone navigation we'll look at in this article is Google Maps. They are significantly inferior to the breadth of coverage and relevance of previous navigators, so you can only rate this application for a frail C grade. This is not strange, because it is more focused on North America and Western Europe, where it works for 5+. In Russia, not the best routing with frequent errors is presented. However, we can note a significant improvement in the work of Google Maps in recent years. Perhaps, in the near future, the application will take the honorable 1st place in Russia in terms ofpopularity, beating their rivals. By the way, there is an interesting feature "Satellite View", which can sometimes come in handy. The interface is very simple and understandable to every user, there are normal and voice search types. Navigation for iPhone from Google is also possible offline, because the route you need is saved and will show you the way even if you turn off the Internet, which, you see, is very convenient. Finally, let's say that you need to choose applications for navigation based on your own opinion. Each service has its pros and cons, but sometimes an ordinary person needs only the bare minimum, so choosing is not so difficult. In addition to those described in the article, there are other navigators that you can check out and determine what will be best for you by downloading the trial version.
