Navigator Progorod saves travel time by choosing the optimal path and helps you adhere to the rules through voice prompts. Car navigation is developing rapidly, and to satisfy the needs of the buyer, you need to try hard. But Progorod surprises with its huge range of functions and ease of use.

So that drivers can use Progorod on different devices, several versions of the program were created for different operating systems. It is supported on the following platforms:

Progorod works with data obtained using navigation GPS systems and GLONASS.

On the official website you can download almost all maps of the world:

  • Russia;

The city doesn't just lay out routes, it has a lot of useful functions that will be useful to the driver:

  1. Traffic jams. The route can be changed along the way to avoid traffic jams
  2. Dynamic edits. Every day, markings or speed limits change on different roads. The developers analyze this information and add relevant information to the application every day.
  3. Geoblogs. Each user of this program can add some useful information. For example, about road repairs or some kind of accident.

Reviews from owners of navigators with Progorod software

Although Progorod is not yet as popular as other navigation systems, it already has its fans. Here are some reviews from those who have already tried the app.

Irina, 38 years old.

I used several applications, but the ones that suited me were in English. Unfortunately, I don’t understand English, so I started looking alternative applications. In the end, I found Progorod. I would like to say a huge thank you to the developers, because this is exactly what I was looking for.

Nikolai, 35 years old.

I came across the Progorod navigator by accident and decided to try it out, as I was just planning a trip to the region. The route was short and convenient, at the end I arrived exactly at to the right address. The program warned about traffic jams, this helped not to get stuck on the road. Now I always use Progorod.

Konstantin, 43 years old.

Progorod – good program for navigation and more. I used it for a week, it works great and provides a lot of information, for example, about traffic jams or road repairs. As a result, I switched to a simpler application, but I would definitely recommend Progorod to others.

After activation, click the “Apply” button (circle with a checkmark). The program will reboot and start working with several cards simultaneously.

I am a fairly active user of devices on Android based, and the news for this review was the news about the release of a navigator based on this operating system, Prestigio GeoVision GV5500AND, which, by the way, became the millionth sold navigator of the brand. This navigator works with the Progorod navigation program, which was my starting point in this review. I decided to look for a navigation program that was more functional than the preinstalled service from Google, which would be convenient to use on both a tablet and a phone.

Actually, today we will not talk about it (not about the Prestigio GeoVision GV5500AND), but about the navigation program “Progorod”, which has versions for most popular mobile OS - it is installed on satellite navigators under Windows control CE, has versions for iOS and Bada, and for Android, of course. (There is also a version for Windows Mobile, but new devices on this OS have not been released for a long time.)

I tested the program on a ZTE V9+ tablet and an LG P350 phone.
The screenshots for the article were taken using the latter, since it was quite easy to root, unlike a tablet.

So, installation:

Installation is possible via Google Play Market, and from installation file, which can be downloaded from the program website.
Full installation instructions are on the same page and are also covered in detail in the User's Guide. After installing the program, it is better to connect to Wi-Fi networks, since after launch it will offer to download maps of the desired region, I immediately downloaded a package of maps for all of Russia, approximately 512 MB in size - one of these days my wife and I are going to go on vacation to St. Petersburg. And then - a lot is not a little, maybe they will come in handy. You can also download archived maps from the website before starting the program and put them on a memory card. On iOS you will have to download maps, apparently only through the program.

The purchase of a license on iOS devices is made only through the AppStore; on Android we download the program for free, then we buy a license on the website, and we are given an activation key and a file that must be placed on the memory card in the program folder.


Form for obtaining a license.

Here I acted as a beta tester for another not obvious point: I initially installed the program on the tablet and registered it for this device. This seemed logical to me, because... and it works better with GPS than my LG P350, and its screen is larger, but then it suddenly became clear that I had updated to it in vain latest firmware, therefore, I can’t get root rights on it and can’t make screenshots for the article. However, this moment, it turns out, is provided for in “Progorod”. Through Personal Area In a special form, it is enough to write a request to the support service with the name of the device on which the program is installed and indicate why the license transfer is required. I indicated that the current device was faulty (lack of root is a fault in our case, right?! ;-)), and prepared to wait a day or two, knowing from experience how busy such services usually are. My surprise knew no bounds when, after a maximum of 30 minutes, I received an email notification that the license transfer was completed and I could register it on the new device. Five points to the support team, you're great!


This is what a letter about re-registering a license for another device looks like.

We installed the program, maps, now we can launch the program. When starting for the first time, we agree to use the “plug” service in beta mode (for Russia), otherwise it will not work, which is logical. In Ukraine, this service has not yet been implemented, but there is information that a joint auto navigation product MAPS.UA, travelGPS and Progorod will soon be launched, which will lead to the emergence of more accurate and current maps Ukraine and, probably, support for online services.

So, we have the main menu.

It turned out that Progorod for Android and iOS supports OpenGL and can display 3D maps, which is quite convenient. I liked the ability to twist, tilt and scale the map using multi-touch gestures, in addition, the three-dimensional layout of the terrain is similar to the real world. However, in the settings all these bells and whistles can be disabled in order to increase performance.


Main menu of the program.

The main menu of the program is quite intuitive; with a lot of useful functions, even inexperienced users will hardly be able to get confused in them.
The “To Map” item will move you directly to the map and allow you to quickly navigate the area.
“Search” works quite well, there is a POI search, a search by address, by coordinates. History and our “Favorites” are also stored here.


Quick menu available on the map screen.

“Route” allows you to see information about current route, maneuvers, detours, build a return route and save a log file of the trip.

“Settings” are redundant, see for yourself on the screenshot.


Map view settings.

The “Personal” item, it duplicates information from “Search” on route history and favorites, and here we can also access the log and “my warnings”.

"Augmented Reality" – interesting feature, you can see, with the camera turned on and aimed at the road, what POIs are nearby. For some reason my “Street View” has stopped updating normally. Google maps", so I will definitely use this feature.

Navigation:

The main menu displays a map (you can select two-dimensional or three-dimensional modes, day and night, or automatic), several control buttons (menu, quick menu with access to your most popular points, zoom, traffic lights and compass, clicking on which will turn the map to the north) and various indicators: speed, satellite signal reception level, time, etc.

Route planning options



The program has two quite pleasant voices (male and female) commenting on the situation on the route; in addition, the Junction View function is pleasing - a photorealistic image of a complex junction that appears when approaching it. This function will help beginners driving or in unfamiliar areas.

About the program.

My conclusion is that the program is convenient and easy to learn, it is functional - it allows you to view all the necessary junctions, 3D models of buildings taking into account the number of floors, and if you have an Internet connection, also “traffic jams” (though not everywhere yet). The support service works promptly and helps quickly if problems arise, which is also a definite plus. In general, I liked the program and will continue to use it. Your own own opinion you can compile by downloading the 30-day trial version.
