Experienced motorists know a lot of bypass routes, make fun of the owners of navigators that they collect all the traffic jams. Indeed, often navigating programs offer a standard way, where it accumulates a lot of cars. Not everyone has the ability and desire to use "antiprobochnymi" services, but povarirovat route would be desirable. Recently the market of navigation systems, a new program "Progorod, which can offer several alternative routes and detours difficult passages, visual images of difficult intersections and side roads. But its main feature - carefully detailed maps. Navigation software made by the standard model - when you turn on the main page is loaded with the card. In the upper left corner there are four icons: a compass (north orientation), changes in scale and angle of the map (zoom / zoom out, the transition from card format 2D to 3D and back again) and the Smart Menu (shortcut to eight frequently used options). In the lower right hand corner are icons of the battery charge, signal strength GSM (for devices with an installed SIM-card) and tsiferbrat. At the bottom left of the screen is a button input in the menu on the right icon, quick search, and between them a string with the name of the street (there is written the name of the street on which to roll, as well as distance and time left to finish). Quickly set the route by using the quick search, it is sufficient to drive the address, select the appropriate path and click on "Let's go." Advanced search allows you to choose the target not only addresses, but also coordinates and points of POI, the history of the tracks from my favorites and just at the direction of the cursor on the map. And if the driver does not know the exact address of the desired object to him, he can look for it at the points of interest - the nearest gas station, a cafe near the station, a cinema not far from home ... There are many options and they are replenished with each update maps. Thus, the destination is set, now need to select the appropriate option route. "Progorod offers four: a simple, short, convenient, and without traffic jams. The first is more appropriate for beginners - it can be a bit longer, but the road is the minimum number of maneuvers that the driver is not distracted by voice prompts and looks at the map. "Short", respectively, lead to the goal almost straight, without detours, difficult places, and not paying attention to long traffic lights. Therefore, the most optimal route can be called "easy" because it is tailored to the quality of roads, the allowed speed, the number of traffic lights and the like. For owners of devices running GSM signal, no doubt, the best option would be "no tubes" *. Each type of route calculates the distance and time to finish, the driver is able to compare that fits him best. Moreover, all proposed ways you can view in demo mode - this is very useful for people with good visual memory, as well as after viewing a "virtual tour" you can configure point detour. On the way to the finish line on the screen displays the speed indicator and the icon next two maneuvers. On the complex intersections or places where a voice command or track can be drawn to understand the ambiguous, the picture appears. This is a great deal, as virtually all of the program sin "generalized" objective maneuver, for example, at the exit from the ring, where a right turn is divided into two parallel roads, or at the entrance to the tunnel, which divides into two bands and lead to different streets. Top of the screen indicator lights on the traffic lanes in the form of appropriate road signs, but the driver look at them while driving is inconvenient. For 500 meters before the speed cameras in addition to a voice warning is displayed on-screen icon with the permitted speed. In the menu of four tabs - search, trip settings and favorites. Here you can adjust by yourself type of card, interface, record on the track ... But there is a "Progorod" and a few interesting options that are worth mentioning separately. Demo mode can work even without a satellite signal, it can be in the hands of those who have the device for a long time looking for connection - they can begin the road with a demo machine. In the incremental maintenance of the route (Turn by Turn) no map and moving the cursor on it, it looks like a «road book», where each line shows the maneuver. This way of doing the route most suitable for the slopes, where the only really important where and which way to turn. In 3D mode is taken into account even the height of the buildings, which passes by the car, looking at this picture, so even with cartoon objects POI impression that a computer game. For a better perception of the size of the font in the names of objects governed - large, medium or small, who are both convenient. Among the many points of interest POI, you can choose the ones that are really interesting, for example, noted a gas station, cafe and grocery stores, but to remove the banks, pharmacies and washing. Option "intermediate points" to help plan a complex route, when it is necessary not just to get from one place to another, but also on his way to call in several places. Undoubtedly, this service is useful messengers, and those who sometimes forgets to turmoil in the traveling somewhere to go. In Smart menu select eight features, which, according to the manufacturer, often used by drivers, but it can be customized according to your desire - the menu includes a list of options that can replace the default. "Progorod" belongs to the group of companies "Sidikov, that deals with audio books and licensed karaoke. The project was launched in April 2008 and by September 2009, investment in it was $ 7 million. On the logical question, which took so much money to be a simple answer: fixed assets have been spent on detailed maps of zones in detail the effective movement of users. In addition to these areas of the city includes the territory of which the majority of trips. For example, for Moscow, such a zone has been defined with a diameter 560 km, and for St. Petersburg - 360 km, for other major cities - 280 km. This approach could eliminate the problems inconsistencies on the boundary. At the moment, "Progorod" uses detailed maps for the seventeen urban centers of Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Samara, Omsk, Kazan, Chelyabinsk, Rostov-on-Don, Ufa, Volgograd, Perm, Voronezh , Krasnoyarsk, Saratov, Krasnodar. Potential buyers can evaluate the quality of maps and their coverage on a special page of the project. There are also available for download free trial "Progorod" (valid 30 days) and detailed instructions with screenshots for installing and using the program. The cost of the license package is 950 rubles. * - At the moment, this problem route without traffic jams is not active and is still under development. Text: Olga Zabelkina.
