How to make a navigator from a tablet without the Internet. How to make a navigator out of a tablet? How to load traffic information into Waze


06.04.2017

In the age of progress and information technologies getting lost in a foreign city is quite difficult if you have a navigator. But what to do when there is no navigator in your car? Just make it from a tablet. We will tell you how to implement everything, as well as the models and software suitable for this, in this article. Process of preparation and implementation A person needs a navigator for orientation on the ground. Moreover, it doesn’t matter whether you drive a car or walk. The navigator will guide you in any case. But first of all, you and I need to find out whether your tablet has a navigation program. To get started, go to your applications. There is a "settings" button there. If you find a "location" icon there, that's very good. Open and look for the “GPS satellites” button. Click on this button and see that you have navigation. Next we will need applications with area maps, such as Google maps or Yandex maps. About Google Maps After you have accessed Google Maps from your tablet, indicate your location there. If possible, connect Wi-Fi for ease of operation of the application and downloading maps. Google is very convenient to work with maps. You can lay out the entire route from point "A" to point "B". There is also the opportunity to set intermediate points and the desired travel time. It's easy to control the application directly from your tablet. You can look at a satellite version of the map, a diagram or a hybrid. If there is no navigator program If a navigation program for your tablet is not provided initially, then this is not a reason to be upset. Just download the desired program from the Internet or directly from Play Market. What applications, besides Yandex and Google maps, can you download? So, here are some of them: Sygic GPS Navigator. Convenient application for car enthusiasts Maverick GPS Navigation. Ideal for pedestrians, but car enthusiasts can also try it. It has a clear and simple interface Navitel Navigator. Classic navigation. The application was developed for Europe and the CIS countries. Here are some navigation programs. Next, let's look at which tablets with GPS function we will be suitable for these programs. Tablets with GPS Of course, now it is rare that a tablet does not have this function. But can it compete with a full-fledged navigator in terms of terrain orientation and ease of use? We can safely say that it can. Let's see what kind of tablets there are. Samsung Galaxy TAB 2 10.1 GT-P5100 Titanium Silver. Very reliable tablet. FreeLander PD20 is capable of high-quality work at a speed of 500 m/s and at an altitude of up to 18 km. A budget option. But despite this, it works well in the Treelogic Gravis 72G 8Gb navigation program. Conducts GPS signal well. Equipped with built-in Navitel navigator Superpad Flytouch 4 3G. This model is distinguished by high processor power and voluminous RAM. ASUS memory Transformer Pad TF300T 32Gb blue dock. Supports A-GPS connection. Has a digital compass. This tablet already has a program installed Google Maps, but if you wish, you can download any other Digma iDn7 3G. Built-in warning function about traffic jams and congestion within the mapped route Pros and cons of a tablet navigator Pros Wide screen. Larger than the display of a conventional navigator. Network access. You can, for example, look at traffic jams on a route. Powerful processor. It is possible to load heavy maps faster Computer functions. You can watch a movie or play. For example, in a traffic jam More powerful battery. Consequently, longer work without recharging Big choice navigation programs. Various alternatives to suit your personal taste, and there is no restriction of using only one program Cons There is no special mount in the car for the tablet. Therefore, you will have to look for it, or use it like this. Lack of a stable GPS signal in budget models tablet. High price for good models with an ideal satellite signal It is possible that big screen for some it will not be a plus, but a minus, since it may block the view. From all of the above it follows that the tablet is a good replacement for a classic navigator. The only criterion for a replacement to be truly worthy is the price.

Experts spoke about cases where a driver may not be issued a license after completing training. Experts noted that in recent years the number of accidents has increased, and the rules for gaining the opportunity to drive have become more stringent.

Many people believe that in modern world A car is no longer a luxury, but rather a necessary means of transportation. It is known that in order to obtain a license, the driver must undergo training in accordance with the rules of the traffic police, as well as a medical examination. Many people do not know, but there are cases when they may be denied rights.

A driver in the Russian Federation must be 18 years of age to obtain a driving license. ahead of schedule they will not be able to issue them. Disabled citizens with certain physical disabilities, such as epilepsy or mental retardation, can drive vehicles only if they have special devices for this.

Acquired diseases can also become an obstacle to obtaining a driver's license. For example, if during a medical examination it turns out that a person’s vision or hearing has deteriorated, he may be denied a document.

Age may be an obstacle in this regard. The driver may simply be unfit to drive due to physical limitations that deteriorate over the years.

It is worth considering that only a medical board can refuse to obtain a license, because many citizens hide the fact of alcohol or drug addiction, which is difficult to find out even during an examination. Experts advise obtaining documents through legal means, since otherwise it is criminally punishable.

A recent monitoring of prices in the Russian car market by experts from the Internet portal "Price Auto" showed that the crossovers of the Chinese Chery Tiggo 3 line decreased in price by 7% (about 62,000 rubles). At the current price for such a car 2018. in the Comfort MT modification you need to pay 777,900 rubles.

The prices for the Luxury Plus MT modification (RUB 899,900) and the Luxury Plus CVT modification (RUB 999,900) remained the same.

It is worth noting that the power unit of all modifications of the model under discussion is a 1.6-liter engine with 126 hp.

As previously reported, the automaker has already edited prices for the model under discussion this year. True, then, in February, prices went up by 20,000-30,000 rubles.

According to the results of the first quarter of this year, Russians became owners of 1,229 cars of the Chery line. This is 5% lower than last year.

However, falling prices now indicate that Chinese businessmen are taking a flexible approach to trends in the automobile market. It is very likely that the price reduction will increase demand for Chery Tiggo 3.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed Federal Law 607168-7 Federal Law, under which car owners whose cars are reported stolen are exempt from paying transport tax.

Previously, car owners of stolen cars were also exempt from paying transport tax. But then the system for obtaining such exemption was, to put it mildly, “intricate.”

Those. you will be exempt from tax, but only for the period while the car is officially wanted. And then (search activities have their own time frames), either go and deregister the car, or pay tax.

Now this injustice has been corrected. And no tax is charged from the moment of loss until the month in which the car was returned to the owner.

As for such a parameter as the entry into force of this law, it is already in effect. After all, it was reviewed on April 10, and the president signed it on April 15. On the day it was signed by the President of the Russian Federation, the law was published.

IN this document was marked “valid from the moment of acceptance.”

At the eBay auction, a unique Alfa Romeo roadster from the car fleet of the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali was put up for sale as a lot.

Spider Veloce Series II was released in 1976, and its mileage was about 130 thousand kilometers.

On this moment The price of the lot at auction is $13,500. The Alfa Romeo Spider is sold in good condition, it has been repainted, but the craftsmen have retained the original soft roof and alloy wheels.

The roadster's equipment remains: the original steering wheel, radio and black leather interior. According to the seller, the car had two owners: athlete Muhammad Ali and his friend Tim Shanahan. The latter has owned the model for the last 40 years.

Under the hood of the roadster there is a two-liter naturally aspirated engine with a capacity of 133 horsepower. It is paired with a five-speed manual transmission.

The car has rear-wheel drive and disc brakes.

The main feature of the roadster was improved interior trim and designer door handles. In 1974, the model was released in the new Spider-Targa modification, equipped with a Porsche-style rear window and roof panels made of fiberglass.

Germans, in in this case, must thoroughly modernize the car that participated in the climb to Pikes Peak. Version ID. The R received a new rear wing with a modified design. DRS racing technology reduces aerodynamic drag. Specialists optimize the car's energy management system. Version ID. R was introduced in 2018 at a special event in France. The vehicle is equipped with two electric motors generating a total of 680 horsepower. The car weighs 1.1 tons. The racing version of the electric car is capable of accelerating to the first hundred in 2.25 seconds.

Volkswagen ID pilot. R in the race at the Nürburgring will be the French driver, Romain Dumas. Track record among modern electric Vehicle currently belongs to the Chinese model NIO EP9. The car covered the circle in 6 minutes 45.9 seconds. Wherein average speed was 185 km/h.

At the moment (summer 2013), the choice of car gadgets is such that even an advanced user finds it difficult to choose a device that is optimally suited to the user’s needs. Well, if you decide to buy a GPS navigator for your car, you’ve probably already heard and, perhaps, even picked out another device from your friends in the car - a tablet, which was successfully used as a navigator and, among other things, a tablet has much more capabilities than in the navigator. So what should you buy for your car - a navigator or a tablet?

The question is very complex, but nevertheless, I will give you examples of both navigators and tablets that are perfect for use in a car. Of course, every motorist sets the required tasks for the purchased gadget and buys a device that will successfully solve all the problems. Therefore, for some it will be an excellent option to buy a tablet, while others will prefer a navigator. At their core, both the tablet and the navigator are similar; both are PDAs, which mostly use the same chips. However, in the navigator, the functions are limited exclusively to navigation (ignoring modern advanced navigators on Android, we’ll get to them), but the tablet also has other functions - surfing the Internet, working with programs, etc. That is, the tablet is more tailored to perform many tasks.

Advantages of a tablet when using it as a navigator in a car:

  • 1. Large screen (as a rule, tablets come with a screen of at least 9-10 inches, so looking at such a screen is a pleasure, and the icons normal sizes, you can’t miss them with your finger).
  • 2. It is possible to access the Internet, so in addition to Internet surfing, you can download traffic jams, which is an important function for residents of megacities.
  • 3. Powerful hardware. If you buy a really “cool” tablet and, among other things, are going to use it as a navigator, the internal filling will be simply super - a dual-core processor at 1-1.5 GHz (2 cores), at least 1024 MB of RAM. With such hardware, even the heavy Navitel will not slow down. So the cards will load instantly, and the overall speed will be excellent.
  • 4. Various functions regular computer— watch movies, listen to music, chat on Skype (there is a camera). Although modern cool navigators have already begun to install the same functions as the tablet.
  • 5. Operating system - of course Android, gadgets on Android work very quickly, do not consume battery resources and there are simply tons of software for them, both paid and free.
  • 6. Well, the general advantage of a tablet compared to navigators is that tablets always have a powerful battery, so even in offline mode he will take at least 10-15 hours of work. The batteries of navigators are much weaker; the coolest batteries last for 6-8 hours of operation.
  • 7. Tablets always have higher screen resolution, so all multimedia functions benefit. You can connect an external one to a large tablet HDD and watch decent resolution videos without any lags. This is about multimedia functions useful topics who have children. and many car enthusiasts are like children themselves - buy a tablet for 15,000 rubles and they won’t be overjoyed. You can do a lot of things on the tablet, and you can set the navigation to whatever you like.

It seems like there are so many advantages that you don’t even doubt that you need to buy a tablet. However, the cost of a normal tablet will always be around 10,000 rubles or even more. So for many, this option is out of the question due to its high price. But there are tablets that cost 6-7 thousand rubles, and these are the ones that can get in your way when buying a navigator))

Disadvantages of using a tablet as a navigator:

  • 1. Of the minuses, the first thing worth noting is the mounting of the device in the car. The tablet does not have a standard mount included, which means you will have to either “farm” or look for purchasing options on the Internet. For popular models Mounting tablets for the car have already been developed, but if you have a mid-range gadget, then securing it as a navigator will be problematic. So the option is to either put it on the passenger seat and listen to voice prompts, or give it to the passenger)) But it’s inconvenient)
  • 2. Next - there will be a really big screen for many more minus, than a plus, because it’s pretty bad at blocking the screen. Imagine - a device with a 10-inch screen windshield. Takes up a lot of space.
  • 3. Much more weak gps module, that is, the quality of the satellite receiver for tablets is slightly worse. Although many may object to me, because in expensive tablet models everything is cool, from hardware and software to the navigation module. Take the same iPad - a super cool thing, multifunctional, great tablet You can use it as a navigator and even as a video recorder if you want, because the camera is also of high quality. But Chinese tablets are equipped with GPS cheats of very low quality. So if you choose between Chinese tablet and a high-quality navigator, then for navigation it is of course better to buy a navigator.

So the following conclusions can be drawn regarding using a tablet in a car (IMHO) - if you take quality tablet for 12-15 thousand rubles, then you will feel the difference between a navigator and a tablet. A huge screen, everything is visible, there are no brakes at all, everything loads instantly, a lot of possibilities. If you have money, then it’s definitely better to buy an expensive tablet and enjoy life. But if money is tight, then take a closer look at the so-called tablet navigators; I reviewed many models on this site.

Let's look at this gadget (navigator with tablet functions):

The screen is usually 7 inches
The resolution may be small; there are also normal models with a resolution of 800 by 480 pixels. Better take these, because the lower resolution is too low for a 7-inch screen.
The hardware is weaker, but still quite good for a navigator - if the processor frequency is 1 GHz and the RAM is at least 512 MB, then it’s normal.
Next is the operating system. Available on Windows, but also available on Android; I am inclined to buy navigators on this platform.
Besides all this, quality gps receiver, which perfectly catches satellites and accurately indicates everything.
And, of course, the ability to connect to the Internet. It would be better if you could access the Internet through the built-in Wi-Fi model and also via an external 3g modem.
Also, all multimedia functions will be available - movies, music, photos, reading books.

If a car navigator has all these functions, then how does it differ from a tablet? Slightly less functionality and less hardware power. However, it performs all functions perfectly and costs 2-3 times less good tablet. So why overpay?

I offer you a couple of excellent options for tablet navigators on Android, and in my opinion, these are optimal models for auto. And they cost between 5-6 thousand rubles, the amount is more than reasonable.

So, so far in bestsellers:

- a powerful navigator with big screen, decent resolution, operating system - Android 4.0. Lots of possibilities - a full range of multimedia capabilities (even a TV), several options for connecting to the Internet. Cost 5000 rubles. So I recommend paying attention if you are looking for an inexpensive and functional navigator for your car. There is everything here and even more.

- the second version of the 7-inch navigator tablet also from famous brand. The cost is slightly higher - 6,000 rubles, but in terms of hardware power it is slightly inferior to the Prestigio. Everything else is also excellent, all the above functions are present. Also on Android.

By purchasing one of these two devices, you get at your disposal an excellent, large navigator with a “traffic” service. Apart from all the features, each of these excellent navigators can easily be called a tablet with average characteristics. This, of course, is not an iPod, but you can surf the Internet without any problems. In general, it's still up to you. I hope that my thoughts will help you with your choice.

    Good afternoon.
    Have you ever gotten your hands on the C701 GPS tablet with built-in 3G from CLV? The parameters seem to be quite good.

    Hello, haven't gotten there yet. Let's see at our leisure what kind of tablet this is. If it’s good, we’ll do a review of the gadget))

    Hello.
    I’ve been using it for (or still) :) a month. Overall a normal machine. The navigator is quite peculiar: at speeds over 40 km/h it is a little late with warnings (turns are especially noticeable) and for some reason it also calls the current turn at which you need to turn as next :-)
    The battery lasts for 2-4 hours of continuous operation.

    Thank you, Vlad, for your feedback; undoubtedly, your comments on gadgets will be useful. If everyone shared their experiences and left reviews, you’d see that a lot of valuable information would appear from the users themselves.

    I bought a navigator navigator play5000dvr))) turned it on, it works, the battery ran out - connected the power via USB, started setting the time and date - the navigator died, vertical stripes appeared on the screen)) from the moment of purchase, 7 hours have passed)) why, in general, do they allow trading such a product))?

    Good day! I’m going to buy a navigation device for my car and now I’m hesitating between GPS Navigator Lexand STA-6.0 - 4300 rubles or GPS Navigator Lexand STA-5.0 - 5800 rubles and 7″ Tablet Prestigio MultiPad PMP3007C 8 GB 3G metallic-4000-5000 + mount 1000-1500 + charge 500.
    Help me choose either a navigator on Android or a tablet.
    The main criterion for me is that the navigation be small and fast without any “brakes.” I don’t intend to use any games, calls, the Internet, photos, videos, etc. Thank you

    Vitaly, take everything! If you don’t like it, you’ll return it to shop, during 2 weeks is possible!)

    Thank you all for your participation, I decided to buy a tablet, better than three in one.

    Hello, it was Lexand and now prestige, both when traveling 500-1000 km after turning off (stopped to rest) they do not turn on for several hours after turning on the battery showed from 30 to 80 percent of charge, but they did not take the card and we are standing in Rostov-on-Don at 1 o’clock in the morning, waiting for the morning buy a new navigator and a map. We bought a map and the navigator turns on, we drive on. It’s so bad, these navigators have let us down so many times and there are 3 prestige phones nearby and they all turn on and there’s a Navitel program there, but they couldn’t start it on the road, there’s a tablet, but without 3G, I've had enough of navigators, now I'm looking for a normal tablet with navigation, although so far I've traveled no more than 100 km (Moscow back and around Moscow. I didn't know that the navigators were buggy, I talked to my comrades, almost everyone has this situation, I took apart the navigators, it's just terrible, but where normal take, not Chinese, the conclusion is clear only tablet

    There is one problem with navigators - they are disposable. Those. If there's anything wrong with the screen, it won't be repaired anywhere. I bought Navitel A705. Lived at home for 2 days. I went on vacation - apparently it warmed up well in the car, but when I turned on the air conditioner, the screen floated - now throw it away. It's a pity that additional cards I bought it - it's a shame. Now I’m thinking - apparently I still need to take a 7′ tablet. At least they are being repaired.

    In my opinion, the navigator is more suitable for older people, who, as a rule, are not “friendly” with fancy gadgets, and who do not need additional functions tablet.

    There is also GARMIN, but they cost like tablets

    Please tell me a tablet (or the necessary hardware) that can be used every day to work with the ELM327bluetooth mini adapter and occasionally as a navigator. I plan to download Navitel software.

    The Navitel navigator stood in the sun for 2 hours and froze until I turned it off and put it in a dark place and could not start it.

    Guys, which one is better now to take a tablet for these purposes?

    The choice now is simply huge, you have to look at the money. Among the inexpensive ones - Prestigio is normal, although it is China, but the quality is very good. More expensive - all sorts of Asus and Acer, they will be cooler, but the price tag is one and a half to two times higher. Another option is to order from Aliexpress, now there are a lot of cool ones Chinese brands, producing high-quality electronics - Meiza, for example. A friend has a smart phone - it’s just gorgeous, huge screen Well, the navigator is excellent.

    I bought it in December, this miracle of Chinese technology: “Oysters T72HM + option “Internet Tablet S””, the miracle worked, not for long, a glitch appeared, it stopped turning on, although the price, 2,490, was very tempting, I contacted the warranty center, there demanded a receipt for the purchase, but due to the absence of one, warranty repairs refused. The cost of repairs was announced at 1500. So, I advise you not to fall for this model, although the functions are quite good, it did not work for long! And if you decide to buy, then keep all receipts until the warranty period expires!

    Tablet Prestigio3057 with navigation program City Guide worked for 3 months. The navigator died, it was under warranty for a month. I bought TEXET, it doesn’t see satellites at all and works as it wants.
    If you buy a tablet for navigation, it’s better not to go cheap
    LENOVO and ASUS bite on price but work

    The quality standard in this matter belongs to Garmin. Its navigators can work autonomously for more than 4 hours. If you are going to go hiking and don’t yet know which company’s navigator is best to buy, pay attention to devices from this manufacturer.

Latest version, perhaps best GPS navigator on Android - Navitel Navigator. From Russian developers. It can do everything that a mobile navigator should be able to do: 1. Voice prompts (voice can be selected) 2. Support for time-varying POI with search (POI - points of interest, such as cafes, cinemas, attractions) 3. Built-in services Navitel.Traffic and Navitel. Events (the names make it clear why they are needed, they are not available in all countries) 4. SpeedCam displays (locations of traffic police cameras/radars) 5. 3D objects 6. Automatic map updates directly from the application

According to the developers, they listened to user recommendations and improved their creation. There are fewer bugs (but they are there), now it will work even on not the most powerful tablets, perhaps even on Chinese devices. Write in the comments how the program works for you.

  1. Next, we can either proceed to purchase the program, which will be discussed further, or activate a key already purchased elsewhere. In our case, this will be the first option, click on it.
  1. We select the card that we will buy and click on the download button.
  1. Last time the download started, but now we find ourselves in the software payment menu. Click on the button that we circled in the picture. The price of the issue is also visible here.

How to install GPS on a tablet

There is a possibility that your tablet does not have Google Maps and Navigator pre-installed. In order to download them, you need to go to the applications menu and find PlayMarket. In the search bar you need to enter “ Google Maps" and install the application.

Yandex maps

If you are a competitor, then be in everything. Russian search system Yandex could not ignore such a valuable direction in the modern world as GPS navigation. Just like most other map providers, we are given the option to download maps before use or download them on the fly via the Internet.

An interesting feature of Yandex Maps is the so-called folk cards, which are edited on the principle of “a traveler for a traveler.” If your tablet is not equipped with a GPS receiver, this is not a hindrance for Yandex, which can work with A-GPS and determine the user’s location by location cell towers and Wi-Fi.

Navitel Navigator

Navitel Navigator is a powerful navigator application that works in the CIS countries and Europe. Usage and functionality are based on high level.

Among the features of the program it is worth highlighting:

  • 2D and 3D maps;
  • convenient work with both a tablet and a smartphone;
  • correct and detailed display various objects on the map.

Unfortunately, this program is paid, but this is not the only drawback. The demands on the tablet's hardware resources also make themselves felt when you need a smooth and enjoyable experience with this application.

Sygic GPS Navigator

This program is a typical representative car navigators, which has everything to rightfully be considered one of the best in its class:

  • interface adaptability horizontal orientation screen;
  • the ability to preload maps;
  • sound and voice alerts to the user in different situations;
  • display of terrain in 2D and 3D;

This application is the complete opposite of the previous navigator and is aimed primarily at pedestrian users, which, however, does not prevent drivers from using it. The ability to cache maps allows you to download them once, without worrying about repeated traffic costs in already visited places.

A simple and easy-to-use interface makes this program indispensable for travelers.

In the life of every motorist, it happens that you find yourself in unfamiliar places. Often in such situations the question arises: is my car moving in the right direction? This issue can be easily resolved. Nowadays, almost every family has a tablet computer, but, unfortunately, not many know how to make a navigator out of a tablet. But with its help you can easily find the right direction to the object you are interested in, the nearest cafes, gas stations, service stations.

The easiest option is to buy a tablet with a navigator. You just need to learn how to use the device. Let's look at another option. Let's say the tablet is already in stock. How can I find out whether it can be used as a navigator or not? It won't be difficult.

Checking the connection

  • Turn on the tablet device;
  • go to applications;
  • download the maps of interest to your device from the playmarket;
  • in the settings we find the “Location” option;
  • We select the location data that is suitable for us and see if there is an item - GPS satellites.

This seems to have been sorted out, but how to use the tablet with the navigator function further? If you are in mobile internet, it is better to switch to Wi-Fi, you will need to download a lot of different things, and through the latter it is several times faster and cheaper. We took the device based on Android based, so it's better to use Google app Maps or as it is also called Google map. It is located in the main menu of your device. We establish our location during the first turn on. We find an icon on the screen in the form of an arrow pointing upward, which shows the direction of our movement. It is he who will guide our route throughout the entire journey.

Here you can find a route to an object by indicating your location and the point of the object itself. The application will draw your route on the map and show the average time you will spend on the road. There is even an option that when you enter travel time into the database, a route will be selected for you that will take exactly the amount of time you planned.

But what to do if you want to use a tablet navigator without an Internet connection, and besides, the device does not support GPS? In this case, we recommend using an external GPS receiver. There are two connection methods, which one to use depends on technical characteristics your device.

Important! Some are not compatible with specific models tablets.

Therefore, before purchasing a receiver, make sure it matches your tablet computer.

In the video you can clearly see how the tablet works as a navigator:

First connection method. Via Bluetooth

Turn on the tablet and module. On the first one, we connect Bluetooth and wait until they start interacting.

Next, set a password to connect devices to each other (usually the password is three zeros). In the tablet settings, we allow the use of GPS to determine location. Thus, we have a full-fledged navigator or tablet with GPS.

If the navigator does not connect to the module, you will need to download it from the Play Market bluetooth program GPS Provider. You will have to run it before each time you turn on the navigator on your tablet.

The second connection method is via USB

The first option is a little simpler than this one. First, download and launch USB program GPS 4 Droid. During its operation, mark Start-Stop GPS with a quotation mark. With these actions we activate the Choose GPS device speed item, where you need to enter the code that is indicated on the receiver. Next, in the tablet settings, go to the “For Developers” application, check the “Fictitious location” column in it. Everything is ready, launch the navigator and check its operation.

Variety of navigation options software for android pleases the eye, but at the same time frightens an inexperienced person with its quantity. You have a choice - use the free version or buy the program in a specialized store, download and install the navigator on your tablet for free.

Necessary properties for a tablet navigator

There is no point in using devices with a diameter of less than 5 inches for these purposes. A tablet of 10 inches or more is a completely different matter. Everything will be perfectly visible on it, but a very large one will reduce the visibility for the driver. Therefore, the most optimal device for using a tablet as a navigator in a car would be a device with a screen size of 7-8 inches.

Which operating system A tablet for a navigator is preferable, naturally - android. The advantage over others is ease of operation and installation, transparency of settings and a greater number of various devices. When purchasing a new device, it is best to purchase a tablet with GPS and 3G support. Although all tablets currently offered have fairly strong components that can cope with almost any task. But still, the presence of GPS guarantees that there will be no need to purchase an additional module, and 3G will allow you to use the device to a greater extent and allow you to deal with traffic jams while the car is moving.

Not all manufacturers include the device with a holder. Therefore, you should think in advance about how you will use the navigator on your tablet while the car is moving.

If the tablet navigator program is not installed on your device, you will have to choose one of many navigation applications. Domestic manufacturers and application developers offer a variety of high-quality, high-quality products to choose from. Let's look at a few of the most common ones.

Navitel Navigator

The application actively leads in the number of users of smartphones, tablets and navigators. It accounts for about 60% of all sales and downloads. It differs in that it is multi-platform and supports large quantity different languages. Navitel Navigator also has an extended technical support.

This application is one of the most popular Yandex developments. All maps in this application are updated and downloaded to the device gradually, as needed. Its advantage is the ability to view photographs of monuments, landmarks and buildings that other users post online. Another plus is that the application has a module voice prompts.

The fact that this domestic development is highly functional applications it says that the Tolyatti Automobile Plant installs it on the built-in navigators of its cars, and the commercial licensed version of the application is used by many transport companies. The main advantage is the presence of “Traffic 2.0” technology. It displays the situation much faster than its competitors (Navitel or ProGorod).

Operating this application is simple and does not require any additional skills. The advantage is the presence of a system of dynamic corrections that reflect real situations occurring on the road.

One of the widely used navigators that do not require the Internet. The destination is indicated by a red flag; it can be set by a dot on the map or by entering a specific address in search bar. The downside is that the free version of the application allows you to download only 10 maps.

Free version works without interruption and guides the user through 2D maps. All downloaded maps are updated at least once a month. The downside is the lack of voice prompts and limited access to 3D maps. These options are only available in the paid version of the application.

Disadvantages of using a tablet as a navigator in a car

To a greater extent, for tablets there is no panel mount, so you will have to figure it out yourself. The GPS module is powerful only on expensive models; the use of cheaper devices risks that the signal may periodically disappear (for large cities this may occur when driving through tunnels, bridges and overpasses).

Currently Chinese manufacturers offer their customers a tablet with a TV tuner and a navigator, as well as a tablet navigator and a DVR. These devices, as a rule, belong to little-known manufacturers, but they differ from branded ones in their wide functionality. Their prices are naturally lower than those of well-known brands.
