Navigator

Navigator mode helps you navigate the roads when driving:

• It shows notifications about traffic and road events, speed cameras and speed limits, and nearby parking lots and gas stations.
• In Navigator mode, the roads are more contrasting, the controls are larger, and the buildings are smaller.
• The app tells you which lane to use to make a turn.
• It provides several route options and suggests a faster route if the road situation changes.

The mode works even without a route, when the screen is off and the app is hidden.

To switch to Navigator mode, tap Navigator on the home screen.

Navigator features

Automatic activation

If you are moving faster than 15 km/h and are not touching the screen, Yandex Maps will automatically suggest switching to Navigator mode. A countdown button will appear on the screen, and then the app will switch to Navigator mode.

If the route has ended but you're still moving, the app will remain in Navigator mode. If you decided to go on foot, the app will switch to the home screen.

To avoid automatic activation of Navigator mode:

1. Go to Settings → Navigation.
2. Enable Navigation turns on automatically.
