How to get directions to "Navitel"? Routing: tips, reviews
The cost of portable devices capable ofinteract with signals from navigation satellites, has decreased so much that gadgets with GPS (Global Positioning System) are even among schoolchildren. It's no surprise that their owners want to know how to properly use the opportunities built into the device.
Luxury or necessity
Until now, there is an opinion that the navigator is necessary, first of all, to those people who, by the nature of their work, are forced to drive.
Software
So, the navigator "Navitel" was bought. How to get directions using it? First you need to prepare. In order for the navigation program to work, it must have access to the maps of the country or locality where the route is planned. If different Internet services of a similar orientation (Google Maps) constantly load the necessary data from the Web, then Navitel, on the contrary - uses the appropriate files from the device's flash drive.
There are several ways to get maps forGPS-navigators. The simplest one is to purchase a device where they are pre-installed. This is a fairly common practice and, it is worth acknowledging, effective. Having bought such a solution, you can be sure that everything will work without failures and various incompatibilities. You can also buy a licensed program "Navitel" and a map of Russia directly on the developer's website for only 800 r.
The next option is to download the corresponding filesfrom the Internet. The source can be both the developer's site and third-party resources. Files nm7 (new version) should be placed in NavitelContent / Maps.
Activation of satellite tracking
It is not enough to download maps and run the program. The device must necessarily have a connection with the navigation satellites. In most highly specialized navigators, the GPS function is always activated. But communicators require the inclusion of this feature. In the systems "Android" you need to lower the shutter and click on the image of the satellite - GPS.
Satellites
After the initialization of the navigation program, theA dialog box is displayed that allows the user to decide whether to use the Internet service on the current state of traffic jams on the roads. This is a very useful feature, however for its operation it is necessary to connect to the Network, which is not always possible.
Among the not too successful models can be notedPrestigio GeoVision 350, which has a too slim connector under the external antenna. Also "famous" Mio C520, not responding quickly enough to change the direction of motion. And, finally, judging by the reviews, the BBK N3501 discharges the battery too quickly. The same can be said about Chrome 1010, eating a minute's charge for 40.
Of the good worth mentioning Garmin Dakota 20 -light, small size, download updates, support for USB flash drives. Also excellent solutions are iMap and iTrex20. In general, the most common indicator is the cost of the device. Gross prices - an occasion to think about the quality and efficiency of the navigator.
Define the starting point
After the satellite signal is registered,the data is coordinated and a dot appears on the displayed map - the current position of the device. Depending on a number of factors, an error of several tens of meters is possible. From this moment, you can start to make the desired path. Since this stage is very important, it is recommended to provide the device with reliable communication with the satellite, at least for the first time coming out of the shelter (roof), or to install it at the window itself.
Direct Instruction
There are several ways of how to buildroute to "Navitel". The simplest of them is to specify the start and end points of the path. In the desired place of the map, you need to put a mark (most convenient if the device supports touch input) and click the "Cursor" button displayed in the bottom menu. Next, "stretch" the terrain to the destination and put another mark. Below you will see the name of the street and the button "Let's go".
Additional opportunity
However, it is not enough just to know how to buildroute to "Navitel". This navigation program has another great opportunity - to calculate the estimated time of arrival based on the speed of travel. To do this, click on the menu button (in new versions, three parallel white strips on a green background) and select the "Route" item. The screen will display a screen showing the time for the road, the distance and the remaining route. In addition, you can visually assess how much is passed. It is recommended to use this feature - in many cases it is indispensable.
Exact instructions
The next method, which is most often usedthose who are just learning how to navigate the route to Navitel, is the direct indication of the destination. Very often it is known where to go, up to the number of the house, the entrance and the floor. In this case, you need to click on the "Menu" button and select "Route" to route the route. Further everything is quite simple.
If you want to fuel the car,eat it yourself, withdraw money from an ATM or something else, then you need to choose not the item "To the address", but the "Nearest - Cursor". The path to the indicated institution will be laid.
Making the settings
Before using the navigation softwareit is recommended to make certain adjustments to the algorithm of its operation. Pressing "Menu", you need to proceed to "Settings" and select "Navigation". Here you need to specify the mode of transport; decide whether it is permissible to drive on dirt roads and make a choice in favor of short or reliable routes. In the section "Online services" you can configure automatic updates, synchronization and other services that require access to the Internet. Do not ignore the possibility of making adjustments.
Saving path
Sometimes there is a need to make awhich was carried out the movement, available during other sessions. "Navitel" allows you to implement this. If the program is closed while the vehicle is moving, after restarting the program, it will be offered to continue driving on the previously indicated route or to refuse it.
And, finally, we can not say howSave the route to "Navitel" by direct recording. At the beginning of the movement, you need to click on the image of the cassette, which activates the saving of the track. On arrival, a second press deactivates the recording. On the map there will be a strip of purple color - a route.
Gemini, and such different
New versions of the program are constantly appearing"Navitel". Some opportunities disappear, and in return they are offered updated. The management methods on the systems "Android" and Win CE, let a little, but differ. Maps of different versions are incompatible with each other. Thus, there is no universal solution to any problem related to the navigation program.
