Navitel for car radios

You can install Navitel for car radios yourself. No special knowledge or any codes are needed. Knowing how to install Navitel on a car radio, you will be able to cope with this operation on your own, without using the services of specialists.

A little about Navitel

First, here are some interesting facts about this program:

• The Navitel program is ours, Russian. It is paid and is implemented well across a vast territory of the planet, including the CIS countries, Asia and Europe. Some versions of Navitel are also popular in South America;
• The program is released for GPS receivers on various bases, such as IOS, Windows Background, Android, etc.;
• Since 2006, the first sales of the program began. The high quality of map detailing increased product sales from the very beginning;

• Already in 2009, there were about 80 thousand users of the service only within the capital, and throughout Russia the number of users was about 130 thousand people;
• The Navitel series of car navigators turned out especially good. They all had their own program and maps included;
• Navitel provides users with a large number of free services, which, in fact, can explain the wild popularity of the program. Among such services we can highlight Navitel.
  Events is an interactive portal that allows all users to see on the map the marks of other drivers about various important events on a certain section of the road.

Note. For example, this service will help you find out that road work is being carried out on a certain section of the road or a security camera has been installed. In this way, motorists help each other, creating a cohesive team.

• The Navitel program supports all standard screen resolutions, including square ones;
• The program's capabilities include support for hardware acceleration of Open GL graphics, a custom display filter, search by address, and much more.

Self-installation

If the car does not have a connector for installing GPS (see), this does not mean that installation will not work. On the contrary, if the car has a USB port, the connector of which is located through the glove compartment, then the GPS can be connected here.
So, you can get navigation in your car in 2 ways:

• By installing an altmenu with the Navitel program, but such an implementation voids the warranty;
• By installing the driver and application yourself, which will not void the warranty on the device.

Note. This means that only the GPS receiver driver will be built into the GU itself, and the file can be later erased.

If, for example, a GPS receiver was purchased and the driver was downloaded for it, then the functionality of the device must be checked.

Note. Note that the driver for Windows CE 6 has a “cab” extension and needs to be written to a USB drive.

During the DIY installation process, you will definitely need an SD card. It will be the repository of the Navitel program. As for formatting the card, this must be done in the FAT32 system.

Note. We hasten to reassure you that the car radio menu will not change. To launch the program, you will need to go to the Windows desktop.

So, here is a step-by-step algorithm of actions:

• Go to the main menu of the car radio (see);
• Click on the “Settings” icon and hold for about 10 seconds;
• The car screensaver appears, after which the “Desktop” opens;
• Find the “My Device” icon and double-click on the folder;
• We connect the navigator to USB at the stage when the “Desktop” is open. At the moment of connection, a window asking for a driver should appear on the screen;

• You need to turn off the navigator, close the window, connect USB and go to it through “My Device”;
• Click on the “cab” icon and press OK;
• We go to the Windows folder and here we find the usbser.dll file:
• Now this file must be copied to the “Static Store” folder.

Note. The copy and paste buttons are at the top.

After the driver is installed, no messages should be displayed when connecting a device to the port:

• Now you need to restart the car radio;
• A window will appear again in which you must specify the correct path to the usbser.dll file.

Note. It is important to know that the standard Navitel program may not find the specified GPS receiver. For this purpose, before recording the program onto a memory card, it is recommended to patch it. You can install a patch to work with the COM-5 port, and then apply another patch that will reduce the speed to 4800 bps.

• Download Navitel to the map;
• We launch the program by double clicking on the exe file, which is located in the Navitel folder.

Note. To return to the standard menu, it will be enough to use the “Home” icon.

• You will not be able to use voice prompts if the radio or CD sound is on;
• It will be possible to use music simultaneously with the operation of the navigator. To do this, if the car radio does not have a separate button, you will need to first turn on the music, and only then start the program.

Version update

Uninstalling the old version

• Small button size, which affects ease of use;
• Lack of a suitable skin on the screen;
• Inability to save your own route through the desired settlements and roads on the old version.

Note. In principle, you should download the new version from the official Navitel website. But the versions take a very long time to load there and cease to be new.

You can use the search in your browser, which will quickly lead you to the Navitel Navigator torrents of the latest versions for car radios:

Advice. The file size with the new version is about 10 GB. Storage – SD card. You can do this, just in case. Buy an empty flash drive and make a copy.

• Download the archive from the torrent;
• Copy the Navitel Content and Navitel folders to the flash drive;

• We select the COM port and its speed so that the GPS receiver functions correctly;
• We change the program.

Note. You can find out the speed and COM type of a specific car radio by following the instructions. Modern types of car radios, mostly standard ones, operate on COM 2 and the speed is 9600. By default, there are completely different parameters that need to be changed, otherwise the program will not be able to find satellites. The Utilites folder was created specifically for changing the port and its speed.

During the process of installing Navitel yourself or replacing it with a more modern version, it is recommended to watch videos and useful thematic photos. Everything will work out, and most importantly, you don’t have to use the services of specialists in this field every time, who have started charging such prices that it’s impossible to describe.

Mapping services. You can absolutely download the Garmin.BaseCamp program (suitable for Windows and MacOS), which will provide you with thousands of maps of roads, tourist centers and hotels. Install the program on your computer, launch Garmin.BaseCamp. Connect your navigator to your computer, on BaseCamp select “Add device”, “Synchronization”. You can expand the range of countries by selecting the “Add country” item in the “BaseCamp: Add-ons” tab.

You can download a number of free selective maps from Garmin directly. The official website has a “Maps” section. Go to the “Free” tab and download highly detailed maps of foreign countries from Garmin.

"Navitel"

"Navitel.Navigator" is one of the most popular cartographic programs in Russia. Navitel maps are supported by most existing Russian navigators. There is also support for popular mobile operating systems: Android, iOS and Blackberry. You can download free Navitel maps on the manufacturer’s official website.

"Yandex.Maps" and Google.Maps

The advantage of search engine mapping services is their expandability and the possibility of user editing. Search engines are regularly updated by volunteers posting new stores, markets and car services on Google and Yandex.

There are several ways to use Yandex.Maps and Google.Maps. Firstly, an application for mobile platforms. There are a number of navigators running on the Android operating system (Garmin, GlobusGPS), installing the application would allow you to connect to the richest mapping services. Secondly, it is possible to save a set of maps for the navigator in raster format. Both Yandex.Maps and Google.Maps have a convenient tool for saving maps in jpg format.

Image cards

As before, a huge amount of cartographic information is stored in jpg format. This is especially true for professional maps - geodetic maps, terrain plans, location of mineral deposits. An array of topographic maps can be downloaded from torrent trackers (Rutracker, Torrentino). To view the map, you need to load a jpg file into the navigator’s memory and open it by going to the “Images/Saved Files” folder.

Recently my friend bought himself a new one Chevrolet Epica, well, in addition I took myself a head unit of Chinese origin with a loud name "Car Entertainment System" to replace the standard radio, which could do nothing but radio and play discs. The device installed perfectly, has a tolerable touch screen, a GPS navigation module, shows movies, plays DVDs, and can also read information from USB and micro SD flash drives. But the latest micro sd flash drive with navigation software was not included in the kit, which was what needed to be corrected in order to make sure how the beloved one felt Navitel Navigator in the head unit of Chinese origin.

In general, the idea was to put Navitel Navigator I came to this Chinese miracle after I determined that it works under the control of a circumcised WinCE 6.0. The operating system is of course not full-fledged, i.e. it has been replaced by its own shell for controlling the functions of the mafon, but it can run the navigation program originally written for Win CE 6.0 without problems.

Of course, I wanted to get a license, because it’s inexpensive, only 1,700 rubles with a map of all of Russia. But firstly, as reported on the official website of the navigation manufacturer, the version of the program for WinCE (car navigators) is supplied only complete with car navigators and not sold separately. Well, isn't it nonsense? They are losing such a part of the market, especially since such head units are imported into Russia in abundance. Well, and secondly, no one could give a guarantee whether the Navitel would work properly or not.

In general, we buy a micro sd flash drive for 4 gigs or whatever is suitable for your head unit, download the Navitel assembly for sd flash drives for Win CE 6 from here.

Format the flash drive. Create a folder called Navitel. Unpack the contents of the downloaded archive into a folder. Next, we insert our flash drive into the head unit. Turn on the device and follow the GPS link or press the button of the same name NAVI.

After which the shell asked to indicate which program should be launched. In our case, the file Navitel.exe in the Navitel folder on our flash drive. After which the Navitel should start starting.

During the first boot, additional folders will be created on the flash drive. Exit the program, take out the flash drive into the folder NavitelContent\Maps you will need to download a file with a map of Russia Q3 2011. You can download it on the official Navitel website

Next, we reinsert the flash drive into the device and start navigation, Navitel will create a map atlas and everything should be in order. There is no need to unlock the card, since the activation key already fits it. Everything works for us, I hope it works for you too.

Navigator is a fairly easy-to-use equipment designed to make terrain navigation more convenient. Most devices come with an installed software and map package. But the basic version does not always contain the necessary set, so you should know how download maps to flash drive for the navigator, how to update them from the Internet and that you can purchase licensed navigation programs from the manufacturer.

What versions are there for the navigator?

• Official, where installing a license for search engines Garmin, Navitel and Avtosputnik is a fairly simple process, but paid. And on the developers’ websites there are detailed instructions on how to download the navigator to a flash drive in your car and how to update existing search programs.
• Unofficial, where the whole difficulty lies in the lack of technical support and updates. These diagrams are created by GPS users themselves based on existing ones, so they can be downloaded completely free of charge. The format of the atlases must be suitable for a specific navigation program that can support such addition. Today, maps from the OpenStreetMap|1 portal are popular.

The most common version of navigation equipment is the Navitel program, as an example of which you can use the system for installing and updating search programs for other navigation devices.

IMPORTANT. Before you download Navitel maps to a flash drive, you need to understand that these are unofficial navigation programs and you do this at your own peril and risk. And before installing them, you need to make a backup copy of all data from the navigator to your PC, for greater security.

How to update Navitel data

There are several ways to update Navitel on a memory card: using the official website, with Navitel Navigator Updater software or in the software of the device itself.

Alternative update

With free access to the Internet You can select “My Navitel” in the navigator menu, find the “My Products” tab and in the list of cards select the one for which there is a new version. When you click on this atlas, the system will offer to update it.

Update from the official website

1. Register on the Navitel.ru website and log into your personal account.
2. Connect a gadget or removable device and click the “Add” button.
3. Before downloading the Navitel map to a memory card, you need to make a copy of the contents of the flash drive.
4. Clear the existing update package from the hardware memory or removable storage device.
5. Download and unpack the new data archive, and copy the contents to the updates folder.

Update using the program

1. Download and install the Navitel Navigator Updater utility on your PC.
2. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided by the installation wizard.
3. The application itself will check for updates via the Internet and offer to install them.
4. After complete initiation, the program will open the latest version of the navigation system.

IMPORTANT. After the updated package is installed, you must reboot the device, otherwise incorrect operation of the programs will cause the schematic display to fail.

Using Yandex.Map

Currently, any Android can act as a navigation system, which is very convenient. One device can be a phone, a computer, and a navigator. To do this, download the Yandex.Maps application. It's better if you download the Yandex navigator to a memory card, since it requires a lot of space, which is not always enough in the built-in memory of the devices used, and an 8 GB flash drive is quite suitable.

The application supports maps of Russia and neighboring countries. There is a search for objects (restaurants, gas stations, etc.), night mode, traffic events, voice prompt, etc. The main disadvantage of this navigator is the inability of the application to work without an Internet connection.

The process of installing Yandex.Map on an Android system, be it a phone, tablet or navigator, is quite simple:

If this is a navigator with Windows CE operating system, then you need to:

• Download the YandexMap-wince archive to your computer.
• Unpack it and send all the files to the gadget or save it to a flash drive.

Some manufacturers of navigation equipment have made it possible for their customers to use several search engines at once using the so-called alternative shell, which is copied to removable media. This allows a person to use an advanced search for the desired object in the shortest possible time.
