Purchase of the day: a steep Shturmann GPS navigator for the iPhone today is dealt for $ 0.99

Imagine that your iPhone has a GPS receiver, which absorbed all the best from Nokia and Yandex map services. At the same time you bought it for only $ 1.

Some time ago, our friends from Layfhakera published overview quite interesting GPS navigator for the iPhone called Shturmann. A chip of this application lies in the fact that in addition to the main navigation service from Nokia's Here Navigator includes additional things that can make life better driver: Yandex. Corks, RosYama and most current base radar, gas stations, cafes, services and other facilities, to know which is very useful.

The main charm lies in the fact that these same additional functions neatly integrated and complementary cards. As a result, a simple route "from point A to point B" without taking into account congestion and laid on a single "as a shorter", is replaced by an intelligent navigation system that is built with the amendment to the congestion and the overall picture on roads.

We have decided to zatestirovat Shturmann for the correct operation of the claimed functions. The first thing to note - the navigator is really paving the route in accordance with the data from Yandex. Traffic jams. That is, if a key part of the road is red, but it can be circumvented by the Shturmann pave the way to an alternate path, and does not send the driver into the mash.

The second interesting point - showing yard detours while driving. Of course, the route "along the paths of" application is not paved, but clearly displays the presence of through traffic to bypass.

Well, the last. Judging by the reviews, some people do not really understand the difference between a full-fledged navigation with online gadgets and simple online maps with the same bells and whistles. That is, if Yandex maps have learned to be loaded offline, then nafig buy Navigator application? The point here is that not only Shturmann contains preloaded maps, but also knows how to lay them routes, without access to the Internet. Naturally, online gadgets without the Internet would not work, but navigation remains. But Yandex maps without regard are similar to hardcore paper maps: sit and imagine the route itself.

However, we somehow distracted from the essence of this post. The fact is that today in the App Store is acting very sweet discount on Shturmann application with Moscow and Petersburg maps. Yesterday the price of the two packages is 199 rubles, and today they are dealt 33 rubles. For a full browser with a bunch of additional widgets to facilitate life - even ridiculous amount. In general, do not miss the moment.

Unfortunately, a large package with maps of Russia, Ukraine and Finland discount does not spread :(
