Yandex did a very good job, calling it unpretentiously "Yandex.Navigator". I am sure that if you have a smartphone, and even more so a driver, you will certainly get acquainted with this useful and smart application.

It is very important that Yandex does not stop there and constantly makes useful and necessary improvements to its maps. Now they can not only lay out routes and show traffic jams, but also change routes to faster ones, determine paid and free parking lots in big cities, and even show free parking spaces. A very handy feature. And most importantly, it works, at least five times out of five I was able to find a free place in the busy center of Moscow.

So, another useful improvement has been made, the offline work of Yandex. Maps and Navigator. With the arrival of updates of versions 10.0 for YAK and 2.78 for YAN, an Internet connection is not necessary for building car routes and finding addresses.

In order to enjoy autonomy, you need to download updates through the App Store or Google Play. They will install automatically.

You can go to the Yandex Navigator menu and select the "Download maps" item manually.

Downloading. Turn off the Internet, 3G, LTE, edge, Wi-Fi. We check the work.

When the Yandex application does not detect a connection when building a route, it will display the path in blue and warn you that this is a route without the Internet.

Also, the navigator switches to offline mode automatically even with a weak Internet signal or when it breaks. Internet connection will be needed only when you need to find out about traffic jams and check more fast option travel.

If the network is lost on an already laid route, information about speed limits and exits will remain in the device’s memory and will continue to help the driver.

Hack. Turn on Automatic Map Updates. By going to Menu-Settings-Updating maps. Thus, the loaded maps will always be latest version, with updates.

Total. devices is increasing, now a regular phone can be used as a full-fledged navigator. Less mobile traffic will be spent in roaming. The battery charge will last for a longer time, since the device will not constantly contact Yandex servers to correct the current state of affairs. Solid pluses. Hooray!

In order to always easily find the right way in any city and in any place, most people use GPS navigators, but technology does not stand still: now you can have a convenient and fast navigator right in your smartphone. The Yandex service provides its users with a free Yandex.Navigator application, which is designed to take you anywhere in the city in the shortest possible way.

Yandex Navigator is the main navigation development of Yandex, the leading Russian-language search engine. The application is absolutely free and can be downloaded to any smartphone running various operating systems, including iPhone (iOs 8+) and Android (3.0+). To date, this is one of the most popular navigation programs among smartphone users, and, of course, many people are faced with certain features and problems in using this software. Consider the most popular of them, and try to give solutions.

So, for some reason, you Yandex navigator not working.

Of course, the word "does not work" can be understood as dozens of situations - from the inability to turn on the application to some difficulties in geolocation in certain regions. Let's try to cover all the points in more detail, including those related to poor knowledge of the phone device. If you are not a beginner, you can read diagonally :)

In this article, we will talk exclusively about solving problems that may arise when using Yandex Navigator. For instructions and "life hacks" on how to use it, read our other articles in the "Navigation" section.

Yandex Navigator does not work from the very beginning

The program you have installed, but does not open, gives various errors, “crashes” immediately after being turned on. It is possible that it was initially installed incorrectly on your smartphone.

Today, almost 100% of smartphones can work with this application, so the option that your phone is “weak”, there is not enough memory, etc. is practically excluded. The only exception is if the navigator "freezes" or works with huge delays. AT this case you can really say that the smartphone "does not pull." As a rule, this happens with devices with less than 512 MB of RAM (256 MB, for example). It's really not enough.

But back to the first case. You just need to reinstall the program on your phone. In the smartphone settings, delete the application, go back to the place where you downloaded it (for example, for smartphones on Android, this is Google Market), and download, and then install again. If the problem was in an incorrect installation, then it will disappear.

You turn on the program, but it does not determine your location. Accordingly, it is not possible to plot a route or perform any navigation-related actions. Make sure you have GPS enabled on your phone. After that, go to the window or go outside, and wait until your phone determines the satellites, and according to them - already your location.

Yandex Navigator is a program designed to be installed on smartphones. This means that it works on the A-GPS system. This means that your location can be determined not only by satellites, but also by cell towers. Those. in urban conditions, you actually can not turn on the GPS module, but this will cause certain inconveniences when working with the navigator interface (for example, there will be a huge green circle around your location on the map that will interfere with reading information), and positioning accuracy will decrease slightly.

Why Yandex Navigator does not work without the Internet

In fact, Yandex Navigator works without the Internet, but for this you need to take some preliminary steps. First of all, download maps directly to your phone, according to which the program will guide you in the absence of the Internet. How to do it? Enter the application, select the "Menu" item, then "Download maps", enter your city, and if there is a map for it, download it. I must say that Yandex Navigator covers the space of Russia, Ukraine and many other countries very well, so there should be no problems finding your region.

When downloading maps, use Wi-Fi, as their size can be very large.

However, you still won’t become completely free from the Internet with this program, so in a sense, Yandex navigator really doesn’t work without the Internet. You'll have maps on your phone, but you'll still need a network connection to get directions or search areas. The way out of this situation is to plan a route in advance, and then be really free from the Internet, moving along this route. In any case, you will significantly reduce the amount of Internet traffic and increase the speed of the navigator.

Of course, in the absence of the Internet, Yandex Navigator will not be able to convey to you other information that may be useful. For example, traffic jams. By the way, if you don’t see the situation with traffic jams, you need to click on the traffic light icon in the corner of the navigator (currently it’s gray for you). After that, it will light up in one of the colors, depending on the traffic jams in your city. The degree of traffic congestion is displayed as a number from 0 to 10.

The navigator does not lead along the route

Again, you first need to check if you have geodata transfer enabled. After that, check the Internet connection, including its speed (use the built-in browser on your phone, download a couple of sites). If both the GPS module and the Internet connection are active, but the Yandex navigator does not work well and does not lead along the route, then you need to close the program and enter it again. It didn’t help - go to the settings and forcibly close it by clicking “Stop” (for Android; the algorithm is similar on iOs), and then go back to the program. Didn't work, restart your phone. It didn’t help - delete the navigation program and download it again (but, as a rule, this point is rarely reached, after all, Yandex Navigator is a fairly stable non-buggy program). But let's say even this action did not help. Then you have to make a difficult decision and stop using this application on your current phone. Well, they couldn't get along. You have a selection of good analogues.

Voice search not working

Here, the problem may be either a broken microphone on your phone, or a lack of Internet connection. Same possible cause there may be noisiness of the surrounding space - for example, on a busy street or at a loud sounding music. Make sure that voice commands are given in relative silence. In addition, Yandex Navigator, like any program, can sometimes become stubborn and not work for no reason. He will pass it, so be patient, and if necessary, perform the actions from the previous paragraph.

Other reasons why Yandex Navigator does not work well

If your location point sometimes disappears or changes, then just re-enter Yandex Navigator. This sometimes happens, this is how the current program works.

If your path arrow disappears, or the phone searches for satellites for a very long time and periodically loses them, especially if you are in long road, then check the accuracy of the time on your phone, as well as the correct time zone. When determining your location, your phone constantly receives signals from satellites, including time data. The time must be synchronized.

Sometimes the Navigator gives a message that the route cannot be built because it is impossible to pass. Mostly abroad. This is an imperfection of the program itself, the application is not aware of all the ways. Report such cases to the developers, so together we will make a useful program for all of us. Route planning is not available in all locations.

There are also funny reasons. For example, the navigator does not work near the Kremlin and in some other places in the center of Moscow. This is due to security measures, or rather, the operation of a special transmitter that replaces the signals of real satellites.

So, we found out the main reasons why the Yandex navigator does not work on android and other popular operating systems. Any questions and comments are welcome, let's discuss this useful app together. And, of course, follow and read our other materials in the "Navigation" section.

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 reviewing 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 left upper corner.



8. To select a voice assistant, go to the tab "Speaker" and choose the sound you are interested in. On foreign languages will be standard male and female voice, 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 in this 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 lower left corner in the form English letter "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 "Tools", 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.

Probably one of the most popular navigation programs for iPhone is the Yandex Navigator program. Today there will be a lot of information about Yandex Navigator.

Yandex.Navigator - what is this program?

If you are a happy car owner and you know the city very poorly, then without such a program as Yandex Navigator you just can't do it.

There is also the Yandex.Maps application, but in no case do not confuse these two programs. Maps can also be used, but the Navigator is made with voice prompts and other details like on devices designed for navigation in cars.

In order not to write long and tedious about the capabilities of the program, just make a list with its main functions:

• building optimal routes;
• voice prompts;
• the ability to view traffic jams;
• places as bookmarks;
• rebuilding the route depending on the situation.

So if you have a car and mobile device, this application will come in handy more than once.

For the appearance of this program on your device, you do not need to do anything special. It is worth checking a couple of nuances before installing.


The first nuance is the device itself. If your iPhone is lower than 4, then look for old versions on the Internet and download them. You must also have iOS at least 7.0.

How to use Yandex Navigator?

Some usage details will be mentioned in the following paragraphs, but I will tell you in general how to use this wonderful program.


So, running it, you will see four tabs: Search, Map, My Places and Menu. search we use it when we need to assign a new point for the route.

On map we are during navigation, you can also see if there are traffic jams ahead. My Places is like a bookmark of the places you will visit most often.

And the last tab is Menu, on it you can go to your Yandex profile, change the voice of the navigator, disable night mode and other details.

Let's say you have the right address and you need to somehow create a route there. The program is running and now you must go to the tab Search.

On this tab below we already see a selection of different establishments that could be useful to you. It could be the nearest gas station or just a place to grab a bite to eat.

So, on top we see the Search line, where we actually write our goal. Starting to write from below, hints will be displayed, which will slightly speed up the whole process.

You will be offered some of the most optimal routes, which will show the time and distance that you have to overcome.

Choose the one you want and click Go. Sometimes it happens that we need to go through a certain place, but we want to build a route immediately to the end point.

To do this, there is a blue plus sign, which we drag to the desired road and the route will be rebuilt.

How to enter coordinates in Yandex.Navigator?

The question is very similar to the previous one, and in fact, in order to complete it, we also go to the tab Search and enter the desired address.

Quite often there is such a situation that you have completely looked through the entire route, started to go on the navigator and suddenly you see that the places with everything do not coincide with the previously viewed route.


If suddenly a traffic jam has formed on your way and there is an opportunity to get around it, then the navigator immediately changes the route and leads along a completely different path.

At first, it was even a little scary, but then you begin to understand how much time you save by not standing in a traffic jam.

Yandex.Navigator does not detect location

If you launched the program, but your location is simply not detected, then first of all we check whether you have not turned off geolocation on your iPhone.

Where to find and enable it can be found in the material. But there is also a possibility that you cannot find the satellite.

This happens if you are far from the city center or simply out of reach for the satellite.

If you drive very often using this application, then there is a chance that the voice may get bored sooner or later.


There are two voices available: Dima and Oksana. To change it just go to Menu — Sound — Voice.

Yandex.Navigator does not work without internet

Even if you download maps of the desired city in this application and want to use it without the Internet, nothing will work.

Your location is not enough for these maps. A lot of data is loaded from the Internet and therefore, at least Edge, but must be turned on. But you can see the desired address on the map.

There are many programs for offline navigation, but they are very specific and can only recommend the best route.
