Cartography for gps navigators
A GPS navigator can be a good choice for a motorist.

Secondly, they receive information directly from satellites in space - it is almost impossible to get lost with such a navigator.
It is one of the most popular systems for gps navigators in our country - Navitel. Navitel navigators are approved by the Cartography Agency of the Russian Federation. The accuracy of the gps-navigator, which receives information from satellites, is quite high - the detail of the location reaches five meters.
Mobile applications
Mobile applications are very flexible, modules are easily updated via the Internet. In addition, you can easily install several applications - this method is most suitable for solving specific problems.

Yandex. Maps and Google. Maps
The search engines Yandex and Google have made high-level cartographic systems. In addition to accuracy and detail, Yandex and Google maps have a system for receiving new information from ordinary users. That is why Yandex. Maps and Google. Maps learn about new stores, parking lots and hospitals faster than other mapping services.
Android-enabled navigators, smartphones based on iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry can use Yandex. Maps and Google. Maps. Especially attractive are gps navigators with support for search engine mapping applications - they combine the advantages of mobile applications and the independence of gps systems.
Cross the navigator with a smartphone
This task was set by specialists from Asus and Garmin. Asus is a leading computer manufacturer in the world, renowned for its laptops and tablet computers. Garmin is a leader in GPS navigation and mapping. The developers wanted to create a smartphone that runs on the Windows Mobile operating system and is a full-fledged gps-navigator. And they did it masterfully!
The created phone was named Garmin-Asus nuviPhone. The gps navigation system of the device allows you to determine your location with high accuracy in all weather conditions.
