Yandex applications are becoming more and more popular every day. And almost half of Russia use mobile Yandex.Maps. But this popular program has features that are not known to everyone. These interesting options will make orientation in the city even easier, and using the application is much more convenient. That's what we’ll talk about today.

General functions of Yandex.Maps

This application has existed in the information space since 2004. At first, it was not particularly popular and was much inferior to Google maps. The utility offered to familiarize oneself with the user's environment:

  • not very well-drawn buildings;
  • View a possible route.

Later, the calculation of distances between waypoints along roads and route points was added. This began to attract drivers and travelers. Moreover, the cards cover not only the vastness of Russia, but apply to other countries:

  • Belarus;
  • Ukraine
  • Georgia
  • Israel;
  • Kazakhstan;
  • Poland
  • Baltic States wholesale and other states of the continent.

Users of the mobile application have 4 options for maps:

  • schematic image;
  • satellite imagery;
  • cards with signatures;
  • popular routes - places marked by people as worthy of attention.

And in November 2016, the 3D display of buildings on Yandex.Maps began to work.

Find parking

Many large cities have parking problems: too many cars have divorced. To find a place where to stick the car, go to the "Parking" tab. There various colors will indicate possible options:

  • blue - free parking;
  • blue - paid parking;
  • green - available places on the road.

Here, prices for paid parking per day or hour will also be displayed.

More precisely, not only the bus, but in general all types of ground public transport. This option is especially useful when visiting an unfamiliar city or for children who need to get to the other end of the village to a tutor or section.

This card is dynamic. You can see in real time how buses, trolleybuses and trams move.
