About this app

b>Yandex Maps is the ultimate app for navigating the city around you. Yandex Maps is packed with useful features that can help you get around with comfort and ease. There’s Navigator, with info on traffic jams and cameras, and voice assistant Alice. There’s searching for places by address, name, or category. There’s public transport like buses, trolleybuses, and trams moving on the map in real time. Pick any mode of transport to get to your destination. Or create a walking route if you feel like it.

Navigator
• Real-time traffic forecasts to get you moving and avoid traffic jams.
• Voice prompts for turns, cameras, speed limits, accidents, and roadworks to help you navigate without looking at the screen.

• To navigate offline, simply download an offline map.

This is probably the best navigation app I've ever used to navigate in big cities like Moscow and St-Petersburg. It rocks as long as you stay within it's map coverage. Tip: Sometimes offline map may become unavailable for certain areas. Maybe the reason is overlapping maps like "Moscow oblast" and "Podolsk". Avoid such overlap when possible. Edit: Tried to reproduce the bug, but the map loads perfectly fine right now. Definitely would recommend the app!

It's a great app. It has one bug though, a very annoying bug. If you choose a route to a certain place it doesn't always show all the options possible. It doesn't count metro at all sometimes. I had only one minibus going to a certain location near a bus stop, but when I look for the actual bus stop it shows many more. Also, if you choose a route it shows the time when buses and minibuses arrive. But if you miss that time it's not going to update on itself. Overall it's still great

Each time the app was updated all these years, I had to re-enable the option 'Routes in Navigator', because it was disabled by the update. It was really disgusting. The latest update just removed the switch, so now you have to create routes in Navi from the scratch. Well, at least the Maps team no longer pretends to be cooperating with Navi. But come on guys, you can't beat the Yandex Navi UI/UX no matter how you try. Just make a good map, leave navigation to the Navi team!

We stopped using the "Routes in Navigator" setting indeed. All the main features of car navigation are now available in Yandex Maps. Please tell us what features of the Navigator do you lack in Yandex Maps? We will try to take your comments into account in our work.

Enjoy improved app performance.
