To plan a road route in Russia, it is often necessary to acquire road maps not only between cities, but also within them, since it is not always possible to drive through a city without a map.
Instructions
Step 1
It is extremely difficult to drive a car and search for driving directions on a paper map at the same time, therefore, electronic maps with cities and roads have become increasingly common lately.
Step 2
You can find such road maps on the Internet. Many sites offer to download them, moreover, for free.
Step 3
If you want to download a map for the navigator, see if it is on the official website of the manufacturer. However, it is worth checking the directions and settings in advance, especially if the device has recently been flashed. This avoids the need to re-insert the card in the event of an unexpected error.
Step 4
Users of telephones and other mobile devices have the opportunity to download both a detailed map of the Russian Federation and various atlases of highways in the regions on sites such as Raster Maps.
Step 5
If any version of maps is already installed on your device, and you want to make sure that it is up-to-date, use special programs, for example, Mapchecker. However, you must know the version number.
Step 6
There are also utilities such as Mapupdater on the network that help update downloaded maps on devices of a particular manufacturer (Garmin in this case).
Step 7
You can use road maps without the need for an Internet connection, that is, offline. The interactive map "Cities of Russia", which is distributed free of charge on the Internet, will help you with this.
Step 8
The most popular, as well as accessible to the widest circle of people, are Yandex cards. But there is one catch, which is that such cards are not downloaded to any device. Before trying to download them (this also applies to other software), read the instructions and reviews that apply to your mobile device model. Otherwise, the application may not only fail to work, but also ruin your phone / navigator / etc.
