Navigation for iPhone: the best apps

The newest smartphones can replace many useful things: a camera, a video camera, a means to access the Internet, a multimedia player, GPS and others. It is about the last function - GPS - we'll talk in our article, because navigation for the iPhone Can now be provided with a variety of good applications. Consider the 3 most popular of them. This program "Navitel", "Yandex-navigator" and navigator "Google Maps".

"Navitel Navigator"

Maps of this application are programmed by Russian developers, and therefore the latitude of coverage of our country is quite extensive, which served as the basis for the popularity of this program. In addition to Russia, other countries are also present in the database, among them post-Soviet and Eastern European states. But, unfortunately, sometimes there are errors (even on the map of Moscow). In addition to this lack, there is a much larger negative - a bad adaptation for the iPhone. The reasons for this - an imperfect interface and insufficient speed, because sometimes the movement is carried out by jerks. However, the pluses are enough: in addition to the breadth of coverage, the user can get all the necessary information about traffic jams, road 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"

Based on the fact that navigation for the iPhone from "Yandex" is free, we can conclude that this is not a profile for the company. And this is confirmed by the facts that the maps are updated rarely, 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 performance is also good, the cards do not brake, and you can connect to the satellite in seconds. There is an opportunity to display traffic jams, traffic police posts. In general, quite good for fans of "freebie". Like all other applications, you can download the navigator from the App Store.

"Google Maps"

The latest navigation for the iPhone, which we'll look at in this article are maps from Google. They are much inferior to the breadth of coverage and relevance to previous navigators, so that you can evaluate this application only for a small C grade. This is not strange, because it is more focused on North America and the countries of Western Europe, where it works for 5+. In Russia, it is not the best routing with frequent errors. However, we can note a significant improvement in the work of Google Maps in recent times. Perhaps, soon the application will take an honorable first place in Russia in popularity, bypassing its rivals. By the way, here there is an interesting function "View from the satellite", which can sometimes come in handy. The interface is very simple and understandable to each user, there are normal and voice types of search. Navigation for the iPhone from Google is also possible offline, because the route you need is saved and shows you the way, even if you disconnect the Internet, which, you see, is very convenient. Finally, we say that you need to choose navigation applications based on your own opinion. Each service has its pros and cons, but sometimes a normal person needs only a minimum, so it's not so difficult to choose. In addition to those described in the article, there are other navigators, which you can check and determine what will be better for you, you can download the trial version.
