The type of Internet connection depends on the selected update method (you will find out which one is right for you below). In some cases, you may need a USB cable (it comes with the device) and, accordingly, the PC itself (and the drivers installed on it). Next, you will learn how to update maps on the Navitel navigator.

1st method

IN this method we will need a PC, internet, USB cable and a created account on the official Navitel website. The essence of the method is this: you go to the Navitel program portal, download the necessary maps (if necessary, and software) and download them to your device. Now let's look at everything in more detail.

• Creation account. The registration process itself consists of familiar and standard steps. You need to fill out all the fields by entering your email, full name and desired login. Immediately after creating an account, you should go to your “personal account” and add a new device there.

• After all the steps have been completed, terminate the connection.

3rd method

The last method that we will consider today is the most unpopular. Its essence is to use direct connection to the Internet through the device itself. His unpopularity is justified by two important factors. Firstly, most navigators do not support a direct connection to the Internet. Secondly, the speed of the process is quite slow. Plus, it’s worth remembering that the total weight of cards can exceed 300 megabytes. And since the majority mobile operators greatly restrict Internet traffic, such an operation can cost you dearly. But if you still decide to use this method, then use the following instructions.

• Open the Navitel program and go to the menu.
