Ride in rush hour traffic without traffic jams is easy!

Avtonavigator helps drivers navigate unfamiliar places, offering the best route. But on the familiar road from home to work and back the need for the navigator is no longer - what's new, it can show on the hackneyed path? And now for us to test the navigation system got "AVTOSPUTNIK" that destroyed this pattern, entertaining new route options taking into account the traffic situation in the city. "AVTOSPUTNIK" - a program of satellite GPS / GLONASS navigation capabilities of autonomous navigation and interactive online services. It is installed on the PDA, communicators and phones with Windows Mobile operating system and avtonavigatory with Windows CE. With automatic routing takes into account rules of the road and traffic density on the streets. The latter is carried out using a free service Yandex.Probki (driver only pays for Internet traffic). The program uses the navigation maps of TeleAtlas with additions from "Geocenter consulting" and "AVTOSPUTNIK. Came to us in the hands of the program attracted intense, compared with conservative iGo and Navitel, interface. Complicated at first glance, the menu is well designed and easy for detailed study. The first significant plus "AVTOSPUTNIK" - refer to numbers of houses with shells, rare navigational system can boast. The device is carefully warns of approaching the cameras, radar, speed bumps, stationary and mobile traffic police posts on the roads. In addition, Navigator notifies you of dangerous bends, crossings, road repairs and other difficult locations. Information about the new locations are constantly updated, automatically downloaded via the Internet. Route of the route can be stored online at the program, you can also make a screenshot of the screen on the road, for example, in place of complex interchanges. As the operation "AVTOSPUTNIK" recruited its own database from a personal point - a house, garage, work place "feeders" cops, pet shops knowledgeable about traffic program is primarily interested in the inhabitants of large cities. Many people sit at work till 8-9 pm, checking the "Yandex.Probki and waiting for the scores will fall load. Now, this service can take and learn a new "secret trail" to the house to bypass traffic jams. There is always the route, the following are not on the main street, choked until late at night, and running parallel to the yards. These loopholes are known only to favorites - such a treasure is not accepted to share with everyone. But "Autosputnik" not greedy, he helpfully lead its owner gardens, at the same time showing the hooks and crannies that know except that only the taxi drivers. Permanent link to "by Yandex" provides updated information about traffic jams at first hand. Depending on departure time, route each day may vary. In the "AVTOSPUTNIK" rescues knowledge of almost all gravel roads and trails, some of which are invisible in the winter under snow, and some can be found only by knowing that they are there. So, opostylevshaya for years before giving way has been replaced by a convenient route with beautiful scenery of strangers. Although there are errors in the program - time to finish indicates too short, it can easily add 15-30 minutes depending on the distance of travel. Do not try to completely protect from traffic jams, because in the city, whatever one may say, they are not going anywhere. Before the trip to better reflect the specifics of the day and adjust the sensitivity to congestion in the special menu. In the weekday slider can be reduced to 40-50%, otherwise "AVTOSPUTNIK" by any means will divert you from malomalski tube, even if it takes to make a big detour and get back into a tight stream. A day off, you can safely put 60-70% in order to push through some major supermarkets. You can play with the strategy of the route - sometimes the shortest path may surprise zigzag. Quarrel on "AVTOSPUTNIK" can be an inaccurate indication of the location - the difference of about 5-10 m. Sometimes it happens when going from house to house or small parallel streets - Navigator shows the "typewriter" on the road or even at the oncoming lane. In places where a lot of intersections and branches, for example, in the center, it is better to switch to a larger scale, to have time to track the necessary rotations, as the voice guidance can not ignore the obvious details. And you should check whether the instructions navigator and road signs - a couple of times he offered to cross the solid line. Program on the market quite fresh, hence the minor shortcomings, common to all navigation systems. All complaints of users are considered mandatory, as they can be reported directly to the saddle or on the Forum. One thing is certain - "Autosputnik" fully justifies its name, becoming a loyal assistant on the road. Text: Olga Zabelkina.
