The Yandex company is famous for its numerous Internet services. Some of them have already been ported to the Android operating system as separate applications. And if individual copies are already known to almost everyone, then other projects have not yet gained particular popularity and love from users. For example, Yandex.Auto belongs to the list of little-known applications.

Perhaps the Yandex company, if desired, could organize the largest encyclopedia of cars. But the leadership of the Russian giant considered that such a project could not attract a wide audience. Instead, it was decided to launch a service to search for ads, one way or another related to car sales. This is a great idea, now users do not need to go to the relevant sites and start searching there. Yes, and we must not forget that "Yandex" for some people is set as the start page.

However, we will now talk about the mobile incarnation of this service. Let's start with the fact that the Yandex.Auto program for the Android operating system "weighs" quite a bit. But do not forget that the application will download ads from the Internet. If you are worried about traffic, then in the settings there is an item for you to disable uploading photos.

Most of all, the Yandex.Auto program surprises with its start screen. Here the developers have shown ingenuity. The entire screen is literally littered with photos of different cars. Basically it's all foreign cars. Here you can quickly find the car that interests you. When you click on each car, a brief information about it pops up. These are the name of the model, the number of ads available and the cost of the sale.

Of course, not all cars available for sale are present in the main window. But their number is very large, even a fairly long scroll down is available. If you haven't found the car you are looking for in this mass of photos, then use the search. To do this, just click on the appropriate icon. And this is where you can find the main advantage of this program.

After clicking on the search icon, you will be taken to the "Selection by parameters" section. Here you can choose the make and model (more on that later), year of manufacture, approximate cost, type of gearbox, ABS, steering wheel location, and much more. Some ads are posted without photos, you can safely turn them off.

Special mention deserves the choice of brand and model. At first glance, it's just that all the brands are sorted alphabetically. But in fact, initially we fall into the "Popular" section. Of the Russian manufacturers, only VAZ, GAZ and UAZ are on the list here. And there are not so many foreign representatives. If we swipe to the right, then we will move to the list with all manufacturers. Here you can already find Moskvich, IZH, and even TagAZ. And there are an uncountable number of foreign manufacturers. There is also a division of car brands by country. That is, you can quickly switch to Japanese cars or French. Below all is the Iranian brand Iran Khodro. Yes, there is one.

If you click on a particular brand, a list of models will pop up. Everything is logical here. The list is sorted alphabetically. Here you can find any model that is only sold on Russian sites. Of course, domestic cars are represented most of all.

Almost all other items in the "Selection by parameters" section are endowed with similar lists. You do not need to prescribe anything, you just need to check the boxes in the right places. For example, this way you can quickly select the type of body or the presence of a robotic gearbox. Interestingly, the presence of the "Status" item. In it, you can choose which car we are interested in: new, used or beaten.

After selecting all the parameters of interest, we will be given suitable ads. Basically, the Yandex.Auto service processes the resources of Auto.ru, Hand to Hand, and Avito.ru. But sometimes there are options from sites such as Bibika.ru. Usually, the price of the car is indicated next to each ad. In some cases, you can find a bright inscription "Torg". This means that the owner can give up the vehicle at a lower cost. If you click on the ad, you will be redirected to the site where this note was found. There you can already see high-quality photos and find out the contact details of the seller. Note that if after that we return back to the application, then we will be offered to add the ad to the "Favorites".

When you first start the Yandex.Auto application, it will specify your location. Your region will be searched. In the future, the region can be changed in the settings. You can also change the currency there if the rubles do not suit you. Finally, here you can turn off the display of detailed information in the ad. The last point is useful for smartphones with a very low display resolution.

This is the simple functionality of the Android version of the Yandex.Auto application. This program can be installed from the Google Play Store

Yandex.Navigator is one of the most popular navigators for Android OS in Russia. The application boasts rich functionality, an interface completely in Russian and the absence of intrusive advertising. Also, the fact that it is absolutely free can be called an indisputable plus. Further in the article, you will learn how to use Yandex.Navigator on your smartphone.

After reading the material below, you will learn how to set up the navigator, get directions online and offline, and use its additional tools in unforeseen situations on the road.

Step 1: Installing the App

To download Yandex.Navigator on an Android smartphone, follow the link below, click on the button "Install" and wait for the app to finish downloading to your smartphone.

Step 2: Setting up

1. In order for the navigator to be convenient to use, you need to customize it for yourself. Therefore, after installation, go to Yandex.Navigator by clicking on the application icon on the desktop of your smartphone.



2. At the first launch, two requests for permission to access the application to geolocations and a microphone will pop up on the screen. For correct operation of Yandex.Navigator, it is recommended to give your consent - click "Allow" in both cases.



After you confirm the permissions, a map opens with an arrow icon showing your location.



3. Next, click on the button "Menu" in the bottom right corner of the screen and go to "Settings". First there will be a column of settings related to the card. Consider only those of them that really affect the use of the navigator.



4. Go to the tab "Map View" and choose between the standard street and road map or satellite. Everyone sees maps differently, but schematic maps are easier to use.



5. To use the navigator offline, go to the menu item and click on the search bar. Next, select the proposed maps of countries, regions, territories, cities and numerous provinces, or use the search by writing the name of the area you need.



6. To change your location icon, go to the tab "Cursor" and choose one of the three options.



7. Another important column of settings is "Sound".



To select the language you are interested in, in which the navigator will show you the route and other information about the road, go to the appropriate tab and click on one of the suggested languages. Then, to return to the settings, click on the arrow in the upper left corner.



8. To select a voice assistant, go to the tab "Speaker" and choose the sound you are interested in. There will be standard male and female voices in foreign languages, and six positions are available in Russian.



9. For complete convenience, the remaining three items should be left enabled. Voice activation will help you navigate your route without taking your eyes off the road. It is enough to say the destination address after the command "Listen, Yandex".

This completes the basic settings for the convenience of using the navigator. There will be a few more items at the bottom of the list of parameters, but they are not so significant as to focus on them.

Step 3: Using the Navigator

After that, you just have to go according to the instructions of the announcer. But do not forget that this is a technique that can sometimes be wrong. Pay close attention to the road and traffic signs.

Yandex.Navigator can also show traffic congestion in order to avoid traffic jams. To activate this function, click on the traffic light icon in the upper right corner. After that, the roads of the city will become multi-colored, which indicates their congestion at the moment. Roads come in green, yellow, orange and red colors - the gradation goes from a free road to a long-term traffic jam.

For the convenience of the user, Yandex.Navigator developers have added the function of specifying comments to traffic events that are available to any driver or pedestrian who is not indifferent to incidents. If you want to add an event, click on the triangle icon with a plus inside.

At the top of the screen, a list of pointers will immediately open, which you can set on the map with any comment. Whether it's an accident, road repair, cameras or any other incident, select the desired sign, write a comment, hover over the desired location and click "Install".

A small pointer will then be visible on the map at that location. Click on it and you will see information from the user.

Recently, Yandex.Navigator has added a function to display parking lots. To activate it, click on the button in the form of an English letter in the lower left corner "P".

Now on the map you will see all the parking spaces available in the locality where you are. They will be highlighted with blue stripes.

At this step, the main work with the navigator ends. Additional options will be discussed next.

Step 4: Work offline

If you do not have the Internet at hand, but have a working smartphone with a GPS receiver, then Yandex.Navigator will help you get to the right place in this case too. But only on condition that maps of your area have already been loaded on your smartphone or a route you have previously built has been saved.

With the available maps, the route construction algorithm will be similar to the online mode. And in order to save the required route in advance, press the button "My Places".

The next step is to enter your home and work address, and in the line "Favorites" add those addresses where you often go.

Now, in order to use the application offline with preloaded maps, say a voice command "Listen, Yandex" and specify or select manually the place where you want to create a route.

Step 5: Working with the tools

The menu has a group of tabs called "Instruments", and several of them may be useful to you. They work only with an active Internet connection on your Android smartphone.

This concludes our instruction on working with the application. There are many interesting and long-existing solutions of this kind, but Yandex.Navigator boldly keeps among them in good standing with many users. So feel free to install it on your device and enjoy it.

Yandex recently introduced a new service for buying and selling cars, called " Yandex.Auto". As befits a good service, almost immediately he got a mobile version, which received a very unusual design, different from other services, like and .

The main page of the service is made in an unusual black style, and has a background consisting of various cars. At the same time, this is not just a background or a start menu, but a full-fledged information page. And if you click on any picture, a window will neatly pop up with the name of the model, a price fork and the number of offers for the system.

What is remarkable about the Yandex.Auto service is that it searches for all regions / cities and at the same time uses search information from local auto sites. So, if you have several popular resources with auto ads in your city, they will also be presented in the search results.

Search options in Yandex.Auto for Android:

• brand and model;
• Minimum and maximum cost;
• Year of issue;
• body type;
• Gearbox;
• Drive type and engine type;
• Engine capacity;
• Mileage;
• Color and condition;
• Climate control, steering wheel position, airbags, ABS, etc.

Directly from the ad window, you can write or call the owner (if a phone number is specified), as well as add the ad to the list of favorites so as not to lose it in a large stream. It is noteworthy that if you specify only the brand of the car, the program will display a list of models of this brand with pictures and descriptions, and if you specify a specific model, the program will prompt you to select the serial number.

Outcome. Yandex.Auto is the best way to quickly and mobile search for auto ads on your Android smartphone. The program is unique in its kind, and it has no analogues. Therefore, if you are looking to buy a car or are frequently scanning the market for price increases or decreases, then this is an indispensable tool for you.

Yandex Navigator will be extremely useful for motorists. The application selects the best routes for driving on the map, informs about places with difficult traffic (traffic jams), is sensitive to the driver's voice commands and gives valuable directions for movement. The article will discuss the version of Yandex Navigator for Android. We will carefully examine the main functions, settings and, along the way, we will tell you how to launch and use this gps application on your phone.

The main features of the Yandex Navigator program

The Yandex.Navigator program will help you:

• plan a route of movement around the city and roads of the country,

Which countries have maps

The Yandex.Navigator program is a good assistant when driving around the city, outside the city, in unfamiliar cities and neighboring countries, since the maps are perfectly detailed and contain the necessary information. Yandex Maps is available for the following countries:

• Russia
• Ukraine
• Belarus

• Abkhazia
• Azerbaijan
• Armenia
• Georgia
• Kazakhstan
• Kyrgyzstan

• Moldova
• Tajikistan
• Turkey
• Uzbekistan

One of the main advantages of this gps navigator is that maps are free and available. In comparison, if you have installed Navitel Navigator, in addition you will need to buy maps for individual cities or maps. And this is an additional cost of up to $ 50. Yandex Navigator, unlike Navitel, works in conjunction with Yandex.Maps. The details of the maps are good, the information is correct and regularly updated.

True, after installation, you need to download the appropriate maps to your phone if you would like to use them not only online, but also without an Internet connection. How to do this, we will tell further.

Where and how to download Yandex Navigator on your phone

You can download Yandex Navigator for free on Google Play, Yandex.Store and through the official page of the application on Yandex. In addition, it is convenient to download Yandex navigator apk from the trashbox, directly. There is no Yandex Navigator on the w3bsit3-dns.com forum yet. We advise you to use the proven method - download the application to your phone via Google Play. Firstly, the latest version of the navigator is always available there, and secondly, you can read user reviews to understand whether it makes sense to update the existing version.

The size of the apk-file of the program is about 50 MB. The latest version of Yandex Navigator is 2.32.

Navigator versions and system requirements for Android

On the Yandex page, you can find two versions of Yandex.Navigator - for iOS and Android. Other mobile platforms are not supported. Since we are considering the version of the Yandex Navigator application for Android, we will focus on the system requirements.

For installation and correct operation of the navigator, Android 4.0 and higher is required. Of course, you can download the Yandex Navigator application for an older version of Android (or do not update the existing version for a long time), but you are unlikely to get something worthwhile.

How to install Yandex Navigator and update the program

To install the application on your phone, you need to run the Yandex Navigator apk file on your phone. Yandex Navigator is turned on traditionally - by clicking on the home screen icon.

How to enable navigation

Before you start driving, you need to turn on the GPS function on your phone. Go to the "Location" section through the main Android settings and activate the "Use GPS" option. The same actions can be performed faster by activating gps through a widget on the home screen (as a rule, it is present by default). After that, you can start the navigator.

Finding a route on the map

To get directions in Yandex Navigator, use the search. In the "Search for a place or address" line, enter the name of the street, house number or name of the object on the map that you would like to get to. Through the history, you can open previously entered places. In addition to favorites, you can save addresses in the "My Places" section, add categories.

The Yandex Navigator program has various prepared categories (restaurants, gas stations, pharmacies, etc.), which you can also quickly navigate in the city.

Another of the undoubted conveniences of gps navigation is the voice input of a request. You can click on the microphone and say the search phrase. The navigator will offer options and get directions to the spoken object. By the way, he recognizes speech well, even in rather noisy conditions, he is sensitive to commands.

In general, the search mechanism in the Yandex Navigator application is implemented successfully and works flawlessly.

Yandex Navigator settings

For each city you can download or update maps for free. You can find a map for download through a convenient search box in the navigator settings. Offline maps do not take up much space on the phone: for example, a map of Minsk "weighs" a little more than 10 MB.

There are many sound settings - you can choose the language for prompts and the speaker - male or female voice. If notifications are not needed, it is easy to disable them through the appropriate settings of the navigator.

Summary. Advantages and disadvantages of "Yandex Navigator"

Thus, during testing, we identified more positive aspects than disadvantages. We advise you to download Yandex Navigator, test it on the road and send us feedback: what you like and what you don't agree with. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with other free gps navigators in our review. By the way, in the future, the topic of gps-navigation will be raised repeatedly.

Setting up gps on Android: how to enable it on your phone

What to do if gps does not work on your phone and you do not know how to enable this feature on your mobile device?

The problem is solved quite simply. Open the notification panel and tap the GPS icon in the widget.

Settings - Options - Location - Access to data about my device. The option "Use GPS" is duplicated in the widget, so there is no point in enabling it through the settings, unless the item mentioned above is missing in the notification panel.

GPS drains the battery fairly quickly, but works as needed. Therefore, if you are actively using a GPS navigator, you do not need to enable / disable the location search function every time, since this is done automatically. So you can safely turn on Yandex Navigator and use it as needed.

FAQ on the work of Yandex Navigator

Why does Yandex Navigator not work, what should I do?

Answer. Does your phone meet the system requirements of a GPS navigator? If yes, report the problem to the developers, Yandex usually quickly responds to technical problems.

Yandex Navigator does not determine the location and is often buggy.

Answer. Generally speaking, all navigators have this kind of location problem. This is due to failures of positioning systems. Nothing can be done about it. Therefore, if the Yandex navigator does not show an arrow and does not lead along the route, wait a while or change the coordinates and look for a stable connection with satellites or wifi points.

Is there an offline version of Yandex Navigator?

Answer. Unfortunately, the navigator only works when there is an Internet connection. Despite the fact that the application takes data for navigation from the satellite, cell towers and wifi points are also used. That is, Yandex navigator does not work without the Internet.

On the settings and search I can not find a map of Uzbekistan. Where can I download a map of Uzbekistan on Yandex navigator for Android.

Answer. Maps of Uzbekistan are not included in the navigator, they need to be downloaded through the settings. If you can't find it through the search, check if you have an Internet connection. Try entering the name of the city in the search. By the way, you need to use the search not from the main page of the navigator, but in the settings. After you download the map of the desired area, the locations will be available through the main page of the Yandex.Navigator application.

”, 70% of metropolitan drivers use mobile applications in smartphones to operate satellite navigation in the car. At the same time, the smartphone is fixed in a holder on the windshield, but such a scheme promises a number of inconveniences: when a call arrives on the smartphone, navigation is interrupted, the device can slip out, the bracket can come off, and in general - unnecessary manipulations are distracting.

To do this, Apple has a CarPlay system, and Google has Android Auto. They allow you to integrate the smartphone interface into the shell of the multimedia system and control it using the standard car buttons. Now a similar system has appeared in Russia: the premiere of Yandex.Auto took place in the company's Moscow office. The system screen contains buttons for quick access to sections, interactive widgets and other icons.

While driving, they can change: for example, a corresponding road sign will appear on the screen in front of a dangerous section of the road, and then disappear. Before starting the journey, the service will show the time on the road to work, the current weather, and can, for example, launch Yandex.Music. Voice prompts are converted to text and displayed on the screen. All services are integrated with each other and use machine learning algorithms, so Yandex.Auto can know when a user usually goes to work and when he goes home.

Access to the Internet is carried out through the modem built into the car, or, alternatively, you can distribute the network from your smartphone. Yandex.Auto also supports integration into multimedia systems based on Linux, where the system can be brought out via cable. "Yandex" plans to install the technology in the car at the production stage and even give the opportunity to stylize the interface for branded design elements.

This autumn, the first cars with the built-in Yandex.Auto system will appear at Toyota, and with the ability to work on iOS and Android smartphones via cable, at Jaguar. By the way, since last summer, Toyota has been selling Camry and RAV4 models in Russia with the option of a Yandex.Navigator multimedia system built into the shell. Now this application will be replaced by a more advanced Yandex.Auto system.

According to Yandex representatives, the company also has cooperation agreements with Honda, Ford, Renault, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Lada, KamAZ and other brands. The presence of "Yandex.Auto" should not affect the increase in the cost of the car compared to other similar solutions. What models of cars and in what quantity will be produced with an integrated system is still unknown, in the future the service should become massive.
