Reset navigation. Installing Navitel on your phone: step-by-step instructions for Android users

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 you will be asked for a serial number - you can also find it in the program.

• When the money is debited from your account, you just have to wait until the company receives a letter with a 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 a folder in the root directory of the flash drive or device that will contain all the cards, 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.

In fact, it would be more correct to say - reinstallation))) But since the essence of the process does not change much, then let it be just “installation”. So, one fine day navigation program "Navitel Navigator" refused to work, lost her atlases, stated that everything was wrong, etc. and so on. In addition, after visiting the developer’s website, it turned out that a new, fifth version of the program had already appeared, so it was decided not to bother with deleting indexing files and so on, but chose the most radical and simplest method - demolish the old one and install the new one

In fact, in my daily trips I mostly use a navigation program City Guide, the installation of which on the Explay PN-990 GPRS car navigator was described in the post "Installing City Guide on Explay PN-990 GPRS". That is, I almost never used navigation from Navitel (except when traveling around the region). But firstly, Navitel Navigator was already pre-installed on the Explay PN-990, and I don’t like it when something doesn’t work the way it should, and secondly, if I don’t install iGO, then in my next on a trip to our northern neighbor, I plan to use the navigation map of Finland from Navitel, since the map of Finland from CityGuide is somehow cut down. Although it is necessary to clarify, of course, whether there is a corresponding release of the map of Finland for Navitel Navigator version 5.

Preparing to reinstall the Navitel Navigator program

First, a little preparatory steps. We go to the website of the company ZAO "CNT", enter your username and password. If you don’t yet have a login and password, register, because you can download updates for programs and maps only after registration.

In the “Personal Account” section, select “My devices (update)” and go to the corresponding tab, which will indicate the device (or series of devices) you registered. If you have not yet registered your car navigator, you will be prompted to do so. To do this you will need a license key. In my case, the Navitel Navigator program was preinstalled on the Explay PN-990 and to find out the license key number for your program, you need to go to: “Main menu - Information - About the program.”

Click “Available updates” and you will be taken to a page where sections will be presented:

• Update(list of programs for supported types of Explay navigators)
• Cards(indicating the release and supported versions of the program)

In my case, the following were available for free update: the Navitel Navigator navigation program itself version 5.0.0.693, new releases of maps (Q4) for the basic configuration, which was installed by default in the navigator (i.e. maps of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and a base map of the world) and user manuals for the auto version (user manuals for versions of the Navitel Navigator program 3.5 are presented and 5.0 in Russian and English).

Considering that the instructions for installing the Navitel Navigator program version 5 strictly do not recommend using Q2 release cards (*.nm2 format), then, of course, download release Q4-2010(*.nm3 format).

Connecting Explay PN-990 to the computer

To connect the Explay PN-990 car navigator to a computer, you will need a USB cable (included with the navigator) and:

• if the computer is running Windows XP - synchronization program ActiveSync
• if your computer has Win 7 OS installed, then it already has a built-in synchronization program Windows Mobile Device Center(if WMDC is not available for some reason, you can also download and install it)

I continue for owners of WinXP OS))) Download the latest version of the program Microsoft ActiveSync (version 4.5 RUS) may with official website Microsoft company. In the search bar in the upper right corner, enter " Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5", press Enter and you will be taken to the download page (in the search results you can check the "Downloaded files" radio button). Download and install. By the way, the program version ActiveSync on the CD that came with the navigator upon purchase, she didn’t want to work with the navigator, she didn’t see it point-blank and didn’t want to acknowledge it. That is why the new version of the program was downloaded from the link above.

Go ahead. In the navigator, in the “USB” menu, select the “Synchronization” mode (takes effect after a reboot). If you don’t select it, you won’t see the internal memory section of the car navigator we need. We connect the Explay PN-990 car navigator to the computer and turn it on. Basically, everything will go automatically. Start of the process

In the window that appears, notifying you of a successful connection, click on the “Explorer” button and find yourself in the hidden depths of our device

There is a second option. Open “My Computer” and in the “Other” section we see “Mobile Device” (maybe “My Device”)

After we have entered the system memory of the car navigator, open the “NandFlash” folder and, just in case, copy the contents of the “Navitel” folder to the computer so that you have a backup copy of the old version of the program. The most important activation file is "NaviTelAuto Activation Key.txt" and the file "RegistrationKeys.txt".

Install the Navitel Navigator program version 5

Everything is quite simple here. We unpack on our computer the pre-downloaded archive of the Navitel Navigator navigation program (the current version for the car navigator discussed here is 5.0.0.693 ) and transfer the contents of the folder to a similar folder ("Navitel") in the system memory of the device.

Don't forget to transfer the activation key file to the program folder. If suddenly you forgot to save it, then go to your “Personal Account” and download this file (see the first screenshot).

What's new in the navigation program Navitel Navigator 5

I have been using the new version of the Navitel Navigator program for only a short time, the sensations have not yet been fully formed))) but I can say that the download process has really become quite fast. For now I’ll just quote the developer:

• New fast routing! Thanks to the changes made, the speed of building routes in Navitel 5 now takes only 2-3 seconds, regardless of the complexity and length of the route
• Improved route building algorithm
• Improved analysis of maneuvers when building a route
• Improved Navitel program interface
• Improved address search algorithm. Now finding the desired object or address on the map has become even easier and faster
• Loading and display of information from the Navitel.Traffic service has been optimized (for car navigator models that support the Navitel.Traffic service)
• Support for the new nm3 card format with fast indexing
• Added display of temporarily blocked roads (using the Navitel.Traffic service)
• Added sensitivity setting for leaving the route
• Added additional custom setting for auto-scaling when moving along a route
• Changes have been made to the display of lists and other interface elements

Map update for Navitel Navigator version 5

We delete all maps from the \NandFLASH\NavitelContent\Maps folder, because these are all Q2 releases. We have already downloaded the necessary maps, release Q4))) Regarding navigation maps. In my opinion, in this regard, CityGuide is still much more convenient. You can download exactly what you need, rather than downloading 1.5GB of Russian maps in one file, which, moreover, categorically refused to fit in the navigator’s system memory. I had to record it on an external memory card (“Mobile device” - StorageCard).

So... what else are they telling us about the innovations (hereinafter - a quote from the developer’s website): "With the release of the Navitel 5 update, forget about the need for indexing maps and lengthy routing! With the introduction of the new nm3 map format for Navitel Navigator 5, maps of the country are presented in a single file, which no longer requires separate indexing. And the atlas, consisting of maps of several countries (for example, Russia + Ukraine + Belarus + Kazakhstan - Navitel Commonwealth kit) is indexed even on a device with “weak" technical characteristics in just a couple of minutes! Also, with the introduction of a new map format, a route of any complexity within the country is laid instantly (in 1- 3 seconds) on any navigation device, including information from the free Navitel.Traffic service.

Preparing the memory card for use

I recommend formatting the memory card before use. The need for formatting has been confirmed by personal experience))) Both maps from Navitel and CityGuide are sensitive to memory card errors and at some point you may simply have problems with the operation of the navigation program.

In addition, use the program SDFormatter for formatting memory cards (instead of the built-in formatting utilities in Windows OS) is highly recommended on the SD Association website. Navitel residents echo them))) The SDFormatter program was created specifically for owners of SD and SDHC memory cards and formats memory cards in accordance with SD/SDHC/SDXC specifications, which reduces the number of errors associated with writing/rewriting data on SD memory cards and SDHC, and also extends the life of this type of card.

Download the latest version of the program SDFormatter You can always visit the official website of the developer.

The program interface (version 3) looks like this

In the options, select the FULL mode. Automatic cluster size change - leave OFF

Completing the Navitel Navigator reinstallation process

Turn off the Explay PN-990 car navigator and disconnect it from the computer. Then we turn it on. After the first download of the Navitel Navigator navigation program, a message will appear that the atlas is empty and you will be asked to correct the situation. If you (as in my case) placed the maps on an external memory card, then do not forget to indicate the appropriate path.

See if you need to update traffic jams every 2 minutes (as is the default). Because that’s 30 Internet connections during an hour-long trip. If the traffic is about 200kb for each output, then you can calculate what you will end up with. That's it))) Good luck on the roads!

As a rule, almost all models of navigators are sold with But, as practice shows, most car enthusiasts prefer to install additional programs containing road maps that are not included in the purchased device. On some models of car navigators, you can combine several programs, which allows you to use the existing navigator more functionally.

Navitel software is very popular. And this is understandable, because Navitel for car navigators contains fairly detailed maps of Russia. The additional information offered by this software will make it easy to navigate in any unfamiliar place. Roads and highways are displayed on the screen in 3D images.

So, if you decide to use the first method, then no difficulties should arise in the question of how to install Navitel on your navigator. Just follow the installation instructions. The most important thing is to transfer the file with the activation key to the folder in which the program is already installed.

Using the second method, you will have to download the archive with the necessary software from the Internet. Navitel offers a wide range of programs for a wide variety of platforms. The greatest demand is, of course, for platforms such as Android and Windows. To install, just download a file designed specifically for the platform of your existing device.

Then you should disconnect the device from the PC or insert the previously removed device into it. Turn off and turn on the navigator (reboot). The next step is just to launch the program on the device.

Many users are also interested in the question: Navitel? Very simple. When installing new cards, exactly the same steps are performed as when installing the program.

So, solving the question of how to install Navitel on a navigator is quite simple. Without spending much time, you can upgrade your device in such a way that you can easily navigate in any unfamiliar place.

Before installation, make sure that your phone has at least 200 megabytes of available memory. After that, follow the link below and click on the button "Install".

To open Navitel Navigator, tap on the icon that appears on the desktop of your smartphone. Confirm the request to gain access to various data on your phone, after which the application will be ready for use.

Since the navigator does not provide an initial package of maps, when you first launch the application, it will offer to download them for free from the proposed list.

Step 3: Installation from the official website

If for some reason you do not have access to an Internet connection on your smartphone, then the necessary maps can be downloaded to your PC from the official Navitel website, after which you should move them to the device.

If you often use a navigator or your work requires high-quality GPS navigation, then Navitel Navigator is a worthy assistant in this matter. And if you decide to purchase a license with all the necessary cards, you will be pleasantly surprised by how the application works.

The car navigator can work on various operating systems. Depending on this, the methods for updating its work will differ.

Symbian. To update this system, load the sis file into memory in any way and install it. By the way, you can download the Navitel program absolutely free.

Android. For such an operating system, it will be enough to download the apk file to any partition of the device, and then start installing it. Choose this file type according to your screen resolution. If it is not possible to make such a choice, then choose this resource marked “suitable for any screen resolution.”

Windows Mobile. Download the Navitel program for the navigator automatically in the same way as indicated above, selecting the CAB file. Manual mode: open the exe file on the PC using ActiveSync.

iOS/Windows Phone/BlackBerry OS - only if there are built-in update mechanisms.
