General description of the Navitel Navigator program on Android
The history of the Navigation Technologies Center company, which is developing and supporting the program, dates back to the end of 2006. This moment marks the first official release of Navitel. The development itself began several years earlier. From that moment began the glorious history of this navigation system, which provides detailed information about the terrain in the Russian Federation, the countries of the former Soviet Union, as well as in many European countries, in particular Eastern Europe.
Understanding the features of the application will not be difficult. All buttons are designed in such a way that the user can even guess their purpose. Therefore, there should be no problems with control. After the first turn on you will be asked to read license agreement, will warn about the dangers of using navigation maps while driving, and will also offer to download maps from the official store. If you have a license key, Navitel cards will be installed for an unlimited period of time. But, if there is no license, you will be offered to work in the application for a trial period limited to six days.
If you wish, you can view the quality of signal reception from GPS satellites yourself.
The newly installed program from Navitel does not include any maps. You will have to download them yourself, but not all at once. They take up a lot of space, so you should download only the one you need. Let's figure out how to install Navitel maps on your navigator.
Installing license cards
- We registered the device, click the “Buy” button on the website. We select a navigator from the displayed gadgets, and then look in the list of available countries for the one whose map you need. Below you will find instructions to help you place your order.
- License cards can be purchased on the manufacturer's website. Register there, look into your personal account, where you click on the “add device” button. At the next stage, you need to specify the device name and software license key. It can be seen directly in the program installed on the navigator. Sometimes the key has to be activated first; this is also done in one of the sections of your personal account. There they will require you serial number– it can also be found in the program.
- When the money is debited from your account, you just have to wait until a letter arrives from the company with license key for subsequent activation. There is no need to worry, sometimes such letters arrive with a slight delay.
- We activate the received key in your personal account, and then download the activation file. At the next stage, select on the website the country whose cards you purchased. Not all of them are available for older software versions.
When installing the program, there is one significant nuance - it is tied to the flash drive on which it was installed. If there is not enough space, the application will refuse to work. You can correct the situation by deactivating the license in your personal account and then linking it to a new drive.
Installing unlicensed content
Unlicensed maps can also be installed; you can download them from the OpenStreetMap Internet resource.
Next we do the following
- We connect the device with the installed navigation program to the computer.
- We create in root directory flash drive or device, a folder in which all the cards will be, and in it another one for the required ones.
- We copy your cards to the last one.
- In the navigator, go to the “open atlas” section.
- Now select the folder with the required maps and press the “create atlas” button.
After the procedure you have completed, the program will begin work on generating a new atlas. When it's completed, you'll have access to maps of the area without paying absolutely anything for them.
The navigator has saved time and nerves for hundreds of thousands of drivers. The extremely easy-to-use device comes with a pre-installed set of cards. But there are often cases when there is a need to install new cards. How to do this is discussed using the example of Navitel, Garmin and Avtosputnik navigators.
If you are interested in license cards, detailed instructions instructions for installing them are available on the official websites of each manufacturer. Next, we will talk about installing unlicensed maps that can be downloaded on the Internet, using, for example, the OpenStreetMap resource. Please note: each navigation device works with a specific type of map. Therefore, if you have a Navitel navigator, you need Navitel maps, and nothing else. Before you begin installing maps on your navigator, it is recommended to backups data and save them to external media or on the computer. For all types of navigators - download the appropriate maps to your computer. For Navitel navigators: connect the navigator or flash card to the computer if the navigation program is installed on it. In the root directory of the device/map, create a folder with any name you understand, for example, UserMaps (user maps). In it you need to create another folder with the name of the region whose map you want to add to the navigation program - let it be Region1. Copy the maps you previously found to the Region1 folder and turn off the navigator/remove the flash card from the computer and insert it into the device. In the navigator, activate the “Open atlas” menu section and create a new atlas (the button with the folder icon is located at the bottom). Next, a window will open with a list of folders. You need to find and click on the Region1 folder, and then on the “Create Atlas” button. After the program completes the formation of a new atlas, it will appear in the list of available atlases. For Garmin, in addition to maps, you will also need a special MapSource program to transfer cards to the device. It can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s official website in the Support – Software section. After extracting the files, first run the MSMAIN.msi file and then Setup.exe. Unpack archives with maps into different folders and run the setup files for each card. Connect your navigator and launch MapSource. Please note: if your navigator has a gmapsupp.img file, rename it to, for example, gmapprom.img or any other allowed name. The maps you downloaded will appear in the “Service”, “Manage cartographic products” menu. Select the card you need from the “View” menu, “Switch to Product” or from the list of cards available on the left in the upper corner of the program (pointer 1 in the photo). The card should appear in window 3. Click on button 4 and the card will appear in window 2. These operations must be repeated for all cards. To transfer maps to the navigator, press button 5.
If everything is done correctly, you will be able to easily use the new cards, and if the attempt is unsuccessful, you will be able to return the saved files and settings.
