Yandex Maps and Navigator

Navigator is a helpful app that provides real-time traffic forecasts to help you avoid traffic jams. It also offers voice prompts for turns, cameras, speed limits, accidents, and roadworks, making it easier to navigate without looking at the screen. The app even has a virtual assistant, Alice, who can help you find places, create routes, and call numbers from your contact list. If there are changes in traffic conditions, the app will recommend faster routes. You can also download offline maps to navigate without an internet connection. Additionally, the app can be used on your car screen through Android Auto. It also provides information on city parking and parking fees, and even allows you to pay for gas at over 8000 gas stations in Russia.

In addition to navigation, the app also allows you to search for places and businesses. You can easily filter your search and get detailed address results with entrances and driveways. The app also provides information on businesses such as contact information, working hours, services offered, photos, visitor reviews, and ratings. You can even check indoor maps of large shopping malls, train stations, and airports. And if you don't have an internet connection, you can still search using an offline map. You can also save your favorite spots to "My places" and access them on other devices.

The app also offers features for public transport, allowing you to track buses, trams, trolleybuses, and minibuses in real time. You can choose to display only selected routes and get the schedule for the next 30 days. The app also provides information on expected arrival times at your stop and helps you find public transport stops, metro stations, and other important facilities. It even alerts you about congestion in metro stations and provides information on the most convenient exits and transfers on your route. This feature is especially useful for those traveling by metro in Moscow, Novosibirsk, or Saint Petersburg.

Yandex Maps also offers routes for various modes of transport, including cars, walking, public transport, bikes, and scooters. For car navigation, the app takes into account traffic conditions and provides camera warnings. For walking, voice prompts make it easier to navigate without looking at the screen. For public transport, you can track your bus or tram in real time and check expected arrival times. For bikes, the app warns you about crossings and exits to motorways. And for scooters, it suggests bikeways and sidewalks and helps you avoid stairs when possible.

The app also aims to make cities more convenient by offering features such as booking appointments at beauty salons online, ordering food from cafes and restaurants, and even booking electric scooters to ride around Moscow and Krasnodar. You can also order a taxi directly from the app.

Other features of the app include the ability to download maps for offline use, street panoramas and 3D mode to help you navigate unfamiliar places, and the option to switch between different map types depending on the situation. The app is available in multiple languages and can be used in various cities in Russia, including Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Omsk, Ufa, Perm, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Rostov-on-Don, Volgograd, Krasnodar, Voronezh, and Samara.
