Yandex.Navigator - the client part of the Yandex Maps navigation service for Android devices. It can create routes for motorists, truck drivers, cyclists and pedestrians (including transfers to different types of public transport). Can work with both online and offline maps.
It is equipped with a built-in information aggregator that downloads information about traffic jams, road works, weather conditions and other factors affecting the traffic situation. It has an integrated information and reference database with information about commercial organizations, retail outlets, gas stations, and other objects on the map.
