Widely available Global Positioning System (GPS) will certainly make people's lives better and easier. It is not just about the mapping service, but also specialized tools for those who are behind the wheel. At the moment the market is fed up with all sorts of navigation solutions, and the choice of a product mainly determined quality of the maps for a specific region or city, or personal sympathy for a particular interface system. However, among this uniformity has evolved products, worthy of special attention. On Google Play, we found an interesting application called Navigator ShturmannFor which definitely worth a look.

Shturmann is convenient because it is distributed through Google Play for free, and after the user has access to several sets of cards that can be used for free for a week. Either way, this product is unlikely to hit the Layfhakera page. Nobody wants to take the cat in a bag, and this approach can safely install and test the navigator on the road without risking to throw money down the drain.

However, the application not only attracts a loyal examination system. Often it seems that the design of the navigation interface makes aliens or drug addicts. For the implementation of any elementary steps necessary to literally poke blindly wander through the menu. Here it's different. Each element and function are conveniently located, logical and consistent. Do you see the icon for about guess that should be followed, Tapan him and discover exactly what is expected.

This also applies to a route to a strange place (even the keyboard highlights the possible letters as you type, eliminating errors and non-existent street) and driving on familiar streets (any address with a single tap is added to favorites + have a bunch of categories and all kinds of places establishments in the city). Another navigators should learn from Shturmann intuitive.

The map is displayed in the 2D and 3D embodiments, supplemented at the request of information about the permitted speed on this stretch of road, the speedometer and the calculation time to arrival. Zoom buttons are also located on the map: taking into account the detailed maps down to the contours of houses can pave the way right up to the entrance.

Naturally, downloaded maps work in offline mode, and update the cards and the application as a whole takes place when a connection. The user can set the automatic receiving of updates and not to think about the relevance of maps.

In addition to navigation Shturmann it includes some useful travel and social services:

• Information about traffic congestion on Yandex. Corks (and Shturmann considers these data in Routing);
• Information about all the urban infrastructure facilities (cafes, pharmacies, shops and so on);
• information about all road defects in service of RosYamy;
• Information about the cameras and radars on city roads;
• if the plant family and friends on the machines in the application, you can create together to Online service and see the map of their location in real time.

In all of this app is very well behaved on Android. Interface deployed on the entire screen, capturing even the system tray, and incoming calls and messages have no effect on the application. Combined with a convenient, intuitive and very intuitive interface, additional useful services, and very low cost prices for packs of cards app is certainly worth a try.
