Yandex.Maps has introduced a highly detailed map for drivers in its Maps and Navigator mobile applications. Drivers can now access information about lanes, parking areas and traffic islands on maps. The new card is currently available in Moscow within the Third Ring Road and in some other cities.
To see the new detailed map, you need to go to the “Navigator” tab or enter the car journey route. During the route, Yandex.Maps provides information about the recommended driving route, taking into account the lanes so that drivers can change lanes in a timely manner. In addition, buildings along the route will be visible in 3D format and can serve as landmarks for drivers.
According to the Yandex press service, to create this detailed map, they used a panorama projection tool that creates up-to-date images of roads by combining current panoramic images with satellite images. As a result, more than 6 thousand kilometers of marked roads have been digitized. The app’s route camera has also been updated, allowing drivers to see more information about road conditions and incidents such as accidents and repairs along the route. The service also plans to expand information about roads and other objects in other cities.
