. "Soon" feature will appear in other regions, told in the company.

The pre-order interval ranges from 30 minutes to two days. The function is available in the tariffs "Economy", "Comfort", "Comfort +" and "Ultima Yandex.Taxi" (bousing classes Business, Premier and Elite).

To pre-order a car, you must choose in the wishes to order the "Schedule a trip" button, and then install the desired date and time. The search for the car will start shortly before the start of the trip.

At the time of the pre-order, the application will show the approximate cost of the trip, and the exact amount will be displayed when the machine is found. Pre-ordered available when paying a trip bank card, in cash, as well to corporative clients and users family Account. Money spikes, as in the case of an ordinary trip, explained in the company.

It is noted that the function of pre-ordering the machine is introduced in stages: it gradually becomes available to users latest version mobile application Yandex.Taxi.

Earlier, Yandex. Taxi canceled the deferred order function in Moscow due to changes in the rules of parking, for which the time of the free period is reduced from 15 to 5 minutes. Users could order the car only for the near future.

Launch of the Transport Service of Documents and Cargo For Business Customers

On December 9, 2019, the services of delivery of documents and goods for business were announced to appear in Yandex.Taxi. Companies are offered two tariffs: "Delivery" (for transmitting neurrupp-based parcels or documents) and "cargo" (allows you to carry large things, such as office equipment or furniture).

The tariff "Cargo" offers to take advantage of vans, not cars: "Gazelles", Ford Transit and others. The maximum weight of one cargo is 50 kg, one or two movers are ready to transfer departure to the house or apartment. "Delivery" has a limitation of 20 kg. All parcels and cargo are insured in the amount of up to 500,000 rubles.

Prices for services in different cities are distinguished: for example, in Moscow the minimum cost of "delivery" is 270 rubles. After 4 km of way within the cities, the cost of 1 km is 11 rubles, outside the city - 19 rubles. Free waiting lasts five minutes, after which every minute is paid for 11 rubles.

To take advantage of the services of delivery of parcels or large loads, you need to leave a request on the site. The manager will contact the company to conclude a contract. If the company is already connected to the corporate service "Yandex.Taxi", then you do not need to enter into another contract - services are available to customers in personal Cabinet. There you can also establish limits over the amount or class of machines for different employees, analyze the costs for the specified period and form electronic documents For accounting.

By December 9, 2019, the service "Delivery" is available in more than 100 cities of Russia, and "cargo" - in more than 40. Among them - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Ekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk, Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar.

Running the ecological tariff. Passengers will be able to choose a car on methane

Running parcel delivery services

At the first stage, the service "Delivery" in Yandex.Taxi will be available only in Moscow, and later it will earn in other cities.

Own delivery service is both gett. She also has limitations - 20 kg by weight and 170 x 170 x 170 cm on the size of the parcel. The service is called Gett Delivery, it works in several cities

Many popular applications have lightweight versions, such as Facebook Lite, Twitter Lite or Skype Lite. They are designed primarily for those users who want to save traffic and hardware device resources.

The main advantage of such "trimmed" versions is that they work much faster than their full-sized fellow. Especially on gadgets with a small amount of memory and weak processors.

Yandex also did not remain aside from this trend. Installation file. her new program Yandex.Browser Light for Android weighs only 748 Kb. After installation, the application is already 4.6 MB in the device's memory, but still it is almost five times less than Opera Mini.

In Yandex.Browser Light, there is only the most necessary. On the main page Located "Zen" with a selection of interesting news and articles. Below is a search combined with the address string. There is also a panel visual bookmarkswhich opens in a new tab.

Program settings are the same Spartan as appearance. Only the ability to disconnect the tape recommendations and cleaning the cache and cookie files. However, it is difficult to expect more from the program with such a small size.

Application "Yandex.Browser Light" is unlikely to suit the role of the main web browser on a smartphone or tablet. But as an additional browser, it can be used. Places almost does not occupy, it works very quickly, always at hand.

Waiting for a bus, tram, a minibus or trolleybus you would like to know if your number will come up soon. Yandex transport allows you to do this in real time - the map displays all public transport in motion. If necessary, you can enter the number of the desired route and get information both throughout the route and see the location of the transport that serves it.

How does Yandex transport

Yandex transport is included in the so-called "Troika" applications from the company for transport. There is still a navigator and a taxi. Today it is not necessary to download a separate application to your smartphone, as in the Yandex application, in addition to the browser, there is a built-in web version of Yandex transport and some other company services.

True, in a separate application, there is still more functional, and it is more familiar to some users. A plus, universal app From Yandex is still in beta testing.

Built-in maps

Immediately after starting the application, you have a map with the display of public transport movement on it. The city must decide automatically, but this is not always happening, so sometimes the user can "find out" in the center of Moscow. If the automatic definition of the city did not work, then simply enter its name to the search string.

On the map itself, in addition to traffic, you can see the stops (they are additionally allocated), as well as the situation on the road. To view the plugs, simply press the button in the form of a traffic light.

View Traffic schedule

In the application, you can find out which routes of public transport pass through one or another stop. Just click on the desired stop on the map or enter its name to the search string. You will display a list of all routes passing through it, as well as an approximate frequency of transport passage. Additionally, at some stops it is shown, through how much this or that transport will arrive. You can add other partners directly from there to track by pressing the button in the form of a heart.

Similarly, you can view the schedule of a particular route. Click on the map or enter the desired number and get a list of stops through which this transport passes. Here, too, you can find out when it comes to the nearest transport to the listed stops.

At times you can track only one route. If necessary, it can be added to the bookmarks so as not to lose and switch to another.

Mapping route

Yandex transport also has built-in functions of the navigator, that is, it can be routes. Open the "Where" tab and prescribe the initial and endpoint. Your location is taken as the starting point, but you can enter it manually if it is established incorrectly or you plan to start the route from another point.

The application will show you the most convenient options for moving: public transport, on foot or taxi. To get a route display on the map simply click on it.

Also here you can filter the transport that you will expect. For example, you do not like to ride in minibuses, you can simply disable them in the settings of the route. Then you will not be offered options using a route taxi. Similarly, you can do with any kind of public transport. If you need to configure, you can save and subsequently used.

Turning on the alarm

In the application settings, you can enable the built-in alarm clock. This feature will be useful if you have a long trip, during which you would like to take off. The application will track location on the map. When you reach your stop application sound signal.

Unfortunately, this feature can work inaccurately. By default, it is disabled and it is required to include through the application settings.

Carsching services

For residents of large cities, the integration of Yandex transport with creepering services is available. They provide a car in short rent for several hours or days. Unfortunately, while a very limited list of services is available, plus it is only in large cities of Russia.

Replenishment of travel cards

Again, this feature is only for residents of large cities of Russia - Moscow and St. Petersburg. Available replenishment of the main travel cards - "Troika", "arrows", "plantain". As payment remedy Here is the service of Yandex money. For inexperienced users in the appendix presented brief instructionsHow can you replenish the card via Yandex or Terminal.

Application settings

In Yandex transport, the type of map display, events on the roads, choose the city, connect some services, etc.

Estimation system

Developers are trying to make the app more convenient and accurate. You can rate the proposed routes using emoticons. If some serious problem happened, you can read a specialized forum using the "Contact developers" button, which is in the main menu.

Summary

The Yandex transport application does not have a competitive counterpart even among foreign companies. He has many advantages, truth, there are also flaws.

Benefits:

• Convenient interface and built-in Russian default language;
• The application is completely free, no obsessive advertising;
• High accuracy of cards from Yandex (only for the Russian Federation and the CIS);
• Saving frequent routes;
• Thin settings of routes and the application itself.

Disadvantages:

• There may be inaccuracies in the waiting time, which is indicated in the appendix, but non-critical;
• The application is almost useless outside the CIS.

Yandex transport so convenient applicationwhich will be indispensable to residents of large cities.

Surely most active users of smartphones face the problem of "heavy" applications. Progress does not stand still, but mobile technologies develop especially quickly. Over time, application developers add all new and new features to their creations, trying not to lag behind competitors, as a result of which applications almost every update increase in size, consume more random access memory, as well as in general, can start working less productively than before. All this is especially noticeable on low-power smartphones, on board which is not so much operational and permanent memory.

Many users are not going to chase on endless technical innovations, but prefer to use their gadget for a long time, so for them productivity and "ease" installed programs Play crucial. For them, the abundance of sometimes unnecessary functions, which are able to slow down the system and cause excess space on the disk drive. Apparently, the company Yandex thought about it and decided to submit the market a lightweight version of their popular browser - Yandex.Browser Light. Consider the novelty and define whether the application can really be useful for users.

Download mini browser from Play Market. On the this moment boot file. Weighing less than megabytes are really very few compared to other mobile browsers.

After installing, open the browser. At the top of the interface you see the scoreboard with bookmarks. To delete unnecessary links, you must click on them and hold, after which you confirm deletion. At first glance, change the contents of the board cannot be changed, but actually create a new link is quite easy - just add the desired page to bookmarks, and it will appear on the scoreboard.

Under the bookmarks there is a Yandex.Dzen tape, which can be disabled in the application settings. To do this, transfer the "Show Recommendations Tape" switch to an inactive position. Little browser settings: everything is at least at least, but it is not for nothing that the version is called "Light". After disabling the "Zen", the browser looks even minimal and easier, which is definitely a plus.

While the browser is still very young, but he has a good chance of becoming a popular product. Easy interface, small size (just a few megabytes, several times less than the main version of Yandex.Bauser), quick Start "All this confirms that a novelty from Yandex deserves attention and may be useful for users of weak devices or just wanting to have a spare" light "browser.

For Android and IOS OS only in March 2012, offering free navigation service with traffic jams by residents of Russia and Ukraine. In essence, it was a slightly reworked Yandex.Cart application, which only got a function of the route on the route. The routes of Yandex.Maparta themselves built before that, so, taking into account other existing developments within the company, developers had to make relatively little effort to release the first version of the navigator.

At the time of our testing, Yandex.Navigator version 1.51 was available, which in terms of functionality was not far from the first versions and is the simplest navigation program with relevant detailed maps.

Pricing and licensed policy

For non-commercial use, the application is absolutely free. Card I. additional services (voice search, corks) are also free.

System requirements

As system requirements Only operating is mentioned android system 1.5 or later. No separate requirements for resolving the screen or the required place in internal memory Smartphone is not voiced.

Functionality

In order to immediately answer various questions about the fact that the program can and what can not, we have collected information about its functionality in one table.

Yes, the functionality of the application is very modest and in many respects does not reach the majority navigation software. However, all its main duties of Yandex. Navigator must fulfill without problems.

Interface

The program interface is simple and laconic. Almost all the place on the screen takes the map. The above remains visible notification string. operating systemAnd if you touch the screen, the translucent panel with the search buttons, return to your current location, favorite and settings appears at the bottom.

In the settings you can activate 3D mode. In it, the map on a small scale begins to be displayed under a certain slope to the horizon, and with a sufficiently large approximation of the contours of houses become bulk. They are slightly lifted above the surface, becoming one-story.

Also in the settings you can select the type of map displayed: the scheme, satellite or folk (everything is both in the other Yandex maps). 3D mode for them will be manifolded only in the appearance of tilt and horizon line on a small scale.

See also the screenshot of the settings menu. In fact, almost everything fit on one screen. Only points "Cleaning History" and "On Program" were not trembling.

From the "hot buttons" on the screen only the button changes, the change of card orientation and setting the DPOI marks.

Brief summary

Liked: Convenient and practical card interface.

Did not like: Inspective night color, obtained by dimming.

Search and work with a map

Compared to all the other products reviewed by us, Yandex. Navigator has two cardinal differences: there is no typical address search, and the universal search is supplemented with a built-in speech recognition function and a separate POI heading. In fact, you are in front of you the search string of Yandex.Cart, where you can gain anything - be it the address or name of the company / institution, and get the display of these places on the map.

Speech recognition works quite well. Actually, for all the time of communication with Yandex. We used the virtual keyboard only once - to see how this search site works and make screenshots for him. The speech module itself recognizes the end of the phrase and immediately shows it to you, at the same time launching the search for it in all categories. Then the result is immediately displayed on the map. During movement in the car, when the noise level is high enough, the system sometimes could not determine the end of the phrase, but it did not create any problems. In this case for manual launch The recognition process was enough to click on the "Recognize" button.

But, of course, loud music in the cabin made communication with the navigator impossible, and therefore it was necessary to mute. Also a bit upset that the speech module does not know of English language. It is compensated for by the fact that it practically always translisters the phrase uttered correctly and is trying to search for it, which, in our practice, has always been successful. In addition to the Russian language, the speech module has the support of Ukrainian and Turkish languages.

In a regular start line, a very smart sign, which, as the word or the phrase dials, gives the most appropriate options. After selecting the street, the line will not disappear, and the cursor at the end of it intuitively suggests you that it is waiting for instructions at home.

It is a pity that after displaying the object on the map there is no possibility to see what kind of building and which organizations are here. In browser Yandex.Maps, all this information is available, including a photo, not to mention the "Street View" modes when you can virtually look at the area.

In addition to the search bar, users are offered a list of POI categories. When you click on one of them, all relevant objects are displayed on the map.

There is a suspicion that this feature is also implemented through general search With one or more keywords.

Brief summary

Liked:speech recognition system, convenient search.

Did not like: There is no part of the functionality that Yandex.Cart (Street View, photo, display of lists of organizations at the specified addresses).

Maps and their relevance

The application has two options with the card. In the first case, it constantly loads the desired parts of the card as needed and caches them. It is very convenient and practical. You do not need to divert cards a lot of space on internal accumulator. In addition, the zashed cards can be deleted through the menu, thereby freeing the required place.

Of course, before a long trip to save traffic in roaming, you can independently zashno the desired map area, for this it is enough to view it in the application at the necessary scale. And if this option does not suit you, you can always upload to the internal memory of the smartphone full set Cards or its individual parts:

"Overview" version of the cards from "complete" appearance, as it differs, slightly. They can be seen and compared on three screenshots below. On the first left part of the screen - full cardand on the right - the review. On the other two - the same site of the map in full and overview versions.

Rooms of houses B. full version Maps (which on screenshots above) will appear on the screen, if one step is to reduce the scale. According to representatives of the company, the review card differs from only the amount of accepted and detail only.

There is one feature at the card: there are no yard drives on it, although when in the courtyard territory, the routes are mainly built on them.

According to developers, the packets of downloadable cards are updated monthly, but in practice everything is different. For example, a Moscow map dates back to January 2013. The rest of the cards are even older. But it is not worth afraid of the old cards, because before displaying each site, the program requests a more recent version on the server, and if it is, it displays it.

Maps themselves are available only for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Turkey. There are no information about other countries. The relevance of information on the map you can check on your own, going the browser to the address. We did not have any particular questions. The only thing we noticed is the extra icons of the review cameras and speed control in the area opened in October on the trade union street near the metro Teply Stan. Cameras were dismantled before the discovery of a new site or even earlier. But, perhaps, these are small quirks.

Routes and navigation

We also have no complaints to laying routes. They are quite logical and deprived of all sorts of oddities, koi can sometimes see competitors. The plugs are taken into account enough adequately, no beggars. It is also nice that in many cases Yandex. Navigator offers two options to choose from.

The alternative is usually offered in cases where the two most optimal routes differ from each other by no more than 10-15% or if significantly more long turns out to be noticeably shorter in the distance. And if you do not like the routes laid, you can pull the line for any of them (or for the start point and finish) and move it to the place through which the route should pass. Yandex. The Navigator will immediately rebuild the route and will indicate the expected time of movement on it. By the way, time is always indicated quite accurately. The program knows the average speed at all parts of the route, plus, objectively increases it depending on the number of traffic lights and turns. As a result, if the road situation has not changed during the movement, the author of these rows has always arrived at a specified point of minute per minute in accordance with the settlement time of movement. Well, except that it was sometimes possible to win the "computer" one or two minutes due to the fact that on the free areas of the departure highways were able to move with a little excess of speed within the framework of conditionally admissible by the new legislation.

During the movement along the route, the translucent panel appears pointers of the upcoming maneuvers and the distance to them, as well as the time to the end of the route. Instead of time, you can withdraw the current speed, distance to the finish line or arrival time. To select you need to touch your finger at this screen location.

There is still a thin line along the panel, where the colors are displayed by traffic jams and your current position.

Also, if you touch the badge of the upcoming turn, then an enlarged map section will appear on the screen with this junction and the route line on it.

Otherwise, there is nothing superfluous in the functionality. Although much lacks warnings about speeding at the current segment, which is a big minus. But warnings about cameras and other road events are, but it is extremely impractical. On the menu you are invited to put ticks opposite those events that you want to hear the warnings.

As soon as the event or cameras icon appears on the map, the same warning signal sounds. It is impossible to determine the type of event (accident, road work, speed control camera, other drivers' messages, etc.), and in addition, the system warns about those chambers that control the oncoming flow.

Well, the most important thing is that you need to remember about the routes using Yandex. Navigator: without connecting to the network they will not be built, even if all the cards are downloaded and you need to drive a hundred meters down the street.

Brief summary

Liked: adequate routes, accurate movement time forecast, alternative routes options are offered.

Did not like: without connecting to the network, the routes are not built, there are no warnings about speeding, the same sound of warnings about all events or cameras.

Voice prompts

For the Russian language, two sound profiles are offered - "Dima" and "Oksana". Both are quite good, but Oksana for the author of these lines is somehow the Mileu "Dima". Both profiles are few and only warn about the upcoming and current maneuvers.

Testing

We conducted several tests regarding performance and comfort with it. As test platforms, we used those all the same tablets and a smartphone as before. All of them once visited our test laboratory and have full reviews, links to which you will find in a short table technical characteristics below.

Recall that the smartphone in us acts as a modern budget platform. On it we estimate the suitability of software to work at low-performance systems. Tablet Prestigio. personifies the middle segment, and Pipo is higher class In terms of productivity and other characteristics.

Installation

The problems with the installation occurred only by the smartphone, since he has a purebred Chinese and intended for the Chinese market, while Yandex via Yandex.Store and through Google Play. Allows the installation of this application only for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Turkey. However, there is legal way Get an APK file to your smartphone and install the application yourself. This can be done with. But in this case, for obvious reasons, the application will not be independently updated.

The size of the Distribution of the Yandex. Navigator is approximately 11 MB and depends on the device for which it is loaded.

Startup time

Regardless of the platform used by us, you need only two seconds to start the application and another one or two on the display of your presumptive location on the map by analyzing the coordinates of the GSM navigat (than Yandex.Maps were famous). With an active A-GPS and a good signal from the satellites, after a few tens of seconds, the marker of your exact position will appear on the screen.

This is the best result among all the software we have already considered.

Time laying routes

Apparently, the route laying is not on the local device, but on the server, and here a pair of arguments in favor of this version: the lack of activity of the SOC computing kernels and at times different laying time of the same route in different attempts (explicitly depends on the type and Communication speeds with the Internet). The laying time of routes at a good connection (3G, Wi-Fi) ranges from 1-2 seconds to about 20 in the case of a "trip" from Moscow to Vladivostok. But if the connection is unstable, you can sometimes wait long.

Repeat that in the absence of a network, the route laying will be impossible at all, even if you have downloaded a map of the required region.

Recycling system resources

Disposal computing power extremely low on all test platforms. Even on a single-core smartphone, it rarely rests on the "ceiling", and even then only some separate moments while simultaneously continuous scaling and loading and displaying plugs. On the four "concurred" cores of Cortex-A7, sometimes you can see the loading of SOC at 35-40% (with active scrolling and scaling with loading and overlaying plugs). This means that the code is somehow adapted to work on several nuclei.

In addition, Yandex. Navigator uses the least operational memory among applications we have considered.

Battery life

Starting from now, we decided to exclude the testing of the system's duration with navigation software running on them. Too many third-party factors affect this process, which leads to difficulties with the reproducibility of the results. In addition, the level of loading of the computing kernels SOC practically does not play any role in this, but the duration of data transmission sessions in GSM networks could affect, but again, all the numbers are almost within the limits of the error. For example, this time Yandex. The Navigator during all measurements very actively "communicated" with the network due to the frequent rebuildings of the route and reboot the traffic jams, catching at 5-6 MB of traffic per hour, lying on the windowsill. However, the final time of work on the smartphone - 2:58. Thus, the difference between all the applications tested by us remains within 5-6%, and there is no practical meaning in further experiments.

Volume Network Traffic

Since the program has two modes of operation (with pre-loaded cards and without), we drove twice one and the same small 16-kilometer route in Moscow, first with loaded cards, and the second time with the previously purified cache. Both trips took about 30 minutes. So, the results are as follows: with loaded Yandex. Navigator consumes about 3.5 MB / h, and without them - 6.5 MB / h. If you recalculate on kilometer, it approximately corresponds to 0.1 and 0.2 MB / km, respectively. Close riding outside the city along the highway with the initially empty cache card gave a figure of 4 MB at a distance of 90 km.

Tech support

Contact technical support only through a special form on the site. No knowledge base or official forum branch. Phone too. They are not very quickly responsible (the answer is about a day), but politely and informatively, although not always for sure. Answers come to the mail, after which you can join the usual correspondence (the main thing is not to change the header of the letter with the code of the appeal).

conclusions

It should be noted that the first pancake from Yandex did not come out with a com, and in version 1.51 he even looks like a great sickness! It has a convenient voice search that works so well that virtual keyboard During the test, we appealed only to remove screenshots to this material. The card interface is not only pleasant to the eye (except for night mode), but also very practical. It does not have a new-fashioned and controversial 3D with the display of the real height of buildings, but he has excellent readability. The relevance of cards is synonym for Yandex. The gasket of routes is also at the height. In addition, Yandex. Navigator often offers alternative optionWhat is also convenient. Yes, and traffic applications consumes a very moderate amount, even if you pre-download the necessary maps into memory. By the way, on the traffic, he almost in parity with Navitel Navigator, whose cards are exclusively in the internal memory of the device and he does not need to load them from the network.

And the main trouble is one: without access to the Internet, even with loaded Yandex maps. Navigator turns into a "pumpkin", i.e. it can only display the map, your location - and nothing more. No routes nor search. In addition, I would like to get in Yandex. The functionality of browser yandex.Cart, where there are photos, descriptions of objects, panorama, and so on. In addition, no extended functionality of the type "Friends on the map", work with tracks and other things here is also not. However, it must be remembered that the application is free! And if our wishes and comments will be taken into account in version 2.0, which will remain free, then she simply will undermine the navigation market in Russia and in two allied states. And it would be possible to think that Yandex would not decide on this, but it would be very soon from the beta version of the beta version Google maps... and there is still megaphone navigation. So make bets and reserve popcorn!
