The Navigator is becoming an increasingly popular car device. It was a time when drivers were orientated on a paper card or at random in search of the right direction-many cars were already sold by the navigation system, which would quickly and accurately tell the road. And if you don't have a regular navigator, you can always buy it. Is this the only way to buy a better navigator so that there are no problems? What should I pay attention to when you choose a device?
Navigator program. It is up to you whether you can quickly locate your location and precisely route the route to the endpoint. More often than not, one (or several) of the following programmes can be found in the Russian market:
- Shturmann. Extracts information about traffic jams through Yandex, has lots of additional information (gasoline prices at the nearest filling stations, roads, cameras, cameras), can call a tow truck directly from the navigation program.

It is not easy to choose the navigation system, every motorist has to decide which functions are more important. According to the experience of the travelers, it can be said that the Navent, Moscow and St. Petersburg-Shturmann, Progorod and City Guide are the most suitable for traveling in Russia. Google Maps and Jandex.Maps are working well too, but they need constant internet access.
Screen size. The most common Navigator screen size today is 5 inches. There are also larger or smaller devices, but their numbers are not too large. The default resolution for the Navigator screen is 480 by 272 pixels. There is still a "high" resolution (800 by 480 pixels), it provides a more detailed drawing of the card, but also the navigation programs on it can work slower.
Existence of additional functions. Many modern automotive navigators are virtually no different from fixed smart phones or tablets. They "know how" to view photos and videos, play music, read and edit text files ... You need these functions or not-decide you only, remember that the more advanced functions you have at the Navigator, the more expensive it is.
In addition, the "hybrid" devices that combine the Navigator and the video recorder have recently been gaining popularity. They are worth more than two separate devices, but they occupy one nest of lighter lighter.
