Yandex Maps is the ultimate app for navigating the city around you. Yandex Maps is packed with useful features that can help you get around with comfort and ease. There’s Navigator, with info on traffic jams and cameras, and voice assistant Alice. There’s searching for places by address, name, or category. There’s public transport like buses, trolleybuses, and trams moving on the map in real time. Pick any mode of transport to get to your destination. Or create a walking route if you feel like it.
Navigator • Real-time traffic forecasts to get you moving and avoid traffic jams. • Voice prompts for turns, cameras, speed limits, accidents, and roadworks to help you navigate without looking at the screen. • Alice is also on board: she'll help you find a place, create a route, or call a number from your contact list. • The app recommends faster routes if the traffic conditions have changed. • To navigate offline, simply download an offline map. • You can use the app on your car screen via Android Auto. • City parking and parking fees. • Pay for gas in the app at over 8000 gas stations across Russia.
Search for places and businesses • Easily search the business directory using filters and get detailed address results with entrances and driveways. • Find everything you need to know about a business: contact information, working hours, list of services, photos, visitor reviews, and rating. • Check the indoor maps of large shopping malls, train stations, and airports. • No internet? Search with an offline map. • Save cafes, shops, and other favorite spots to My places and view them on other devices.
Public transport • Track buses, trams, trolleybuses, and minibuses in real time. • Choose to display only selected routes. • Get your public transport schedule for the next 30 days. • Check the expected arrival time at your stop. • Find public transport stops, metro stations, and other important facilities. • Learn in advance about congestion in metro stations. • Get information about the most convenient exits and transfers on your route. • Check if you need the first or last metro car – a nifty feature for people traveling by metro in Moscow, Novosibirsk, or Saint Petersburg.
Routes for any mode of transport • By car: Navigation that accounts for traffic conditions and camera warnings. • On foot: Voice prompts make it easier to enjoy a walk without looking at the screen. • By public transport: Track your bus or tram in real time and check expected arrival times. • By bike: Be warned about crossings and exits to motorways. • On a scooter: We'll suggest bikeways and sidewalks and help you avoid stairs where possible.
Making cities more convenient • Book appointments at beauty salons online, at any time of day (or night!). • Order food from cafes and restaurants and collect it on your way home or to work. • Book electric scooters to ride around Moscow and Krasnodar. • Order a taxi directly from the app.
And more • Download maps to create driving routes and search for places and addresses offline. • Never get lost in unfamiliar places with street panoramas and 3D mode. • Switch between map types (Map, Satellite, or Hybrid) depending on the situation. • Use the app in Russian, English, Turkish, Ukrainian, or Uzbek. • Find your way easily in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Omsk, Ufa, Perm, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Rostov-on-Don, Volgograd, Krasnodar, Voronezh, Samara, and other cities.

I wish on two things from this app: 1) I want to know when im over speed limit, and NOT when there is a speed camera. I dont care about locations of speed cameras and the voice notification for them is very very annoying. 2) If i get directions to a location and choose public transport but then decide to take carsharing and go back, the app is reset and location is lost, not even in history i can find it. Altough i just wamt to go back to the moment i choose, searched or selected the location.

In the app, you can choose which cameras will be voiced. To do this, go to the menu → Settings → Sounds and alerts → Cameras. Also, do we understand correctly that you want the app to return to the point after creating a route to a point and exiting the route menu, and not to the main screen?

Each time the app was updated all these years, I had to re-enable the option 'Routes in Navigator', because it was disabled by the update. It was really disgusting. The latest update just removed the switch, so now you have to create routes in Navi from the scratch. Well, at least the Maps team no longer pretends to be cooperating with Navi. But come on guys, you can't beat the Yandex Navi UI/UX no matter how you try. Just make a good map, leave navigation to the Navi team!

We stopped using the "Routes in Navigator" setting indeed. All the main features of car navigation are now available in Yandex Maps. Please tell us what features of the Navigator do you lack in Yandex Maps? We will try to take your comments into account in our work.

This is probably the best navigation app I've ever used to navigate in big cities like Moscow and St-Petersburg. It rocks as long as you stay within it's map coverage. Tip: Sometimes offline map may become unavailable for certain areas. Maybe the reason is overlapping maps like "Moscow oblast" and "Podolsk". Avoid such overlap when possible. Edit: Tried to reproduce the bug, but the map loads perfectly fine right now. Definitely would recommend the app!

Alexander, thank you for your feedback. It's great to read this ❤️
What’s new
We made the timing for routes clearer: when they’re less than 10 hours, we show hours and minutes, rounding to hours after that. We also switched the route line color for sections without traffic data from gray to blue so they’re more distinguishable.
