Overview of the navigation program Progorod for Android
I am a fairly active user of Android devices, and infopovod for this review was the news about the Navigator on the basis of this operating system the Prestigio GeoVision GV5500AND, which, incidentally, became a million by Prodan Navigator brand. This Navigator works with the navigation program Progorod, and that was for me the starting point in this review. I decided to find a more functional, rather than a preset service from Google, navigation software, which would be convenient to use on the tablet and on the phone.
Actually, today's not about him (not about the Prestigio GeoVision GV5500AND), and the navigation software "Progorod", which has versions for most popular mobile OS – is installed on the satellite navigators running Windows CE, has versions for iOS and Bada, and of Android, of course. (There is another version for Windows Mobile but these new devices on this OS a long time are not issued.)
I've tested the program on the tablet ZTE V9+ phone LG P350.
Screenshots for the article made with the latter, as it could quite easily make, unlike a tablet.
Installation is possible through the Google Play Market, and from the setup file, which can be download site.
Full installation instructions are on the same page, in addition, it is described in detail in "user's Guide". After installing the program, it is better to connect to a Wi-Fi network, because after the launch it will offer to download maps of the desired region, I immediately downloaded a set of maps for the whole of Russia about the size of 512 MB – the other day my wife and I are going to go on holiday to Peter. And then a lot of this is not enough, maybe useful. You can also download maps the archive site before you run the program and put them on the memory card. On iOS will have to download the maps, apparently, only through the program.
Download maps directly from the device.
Purchase a license for iOS is only possible via the AppStore, on the "Android" program, downloadable for free, then buy a license on the website, and give us the activation file, which must be put on the memory card in the applications folder.
Form of license.
Then I made a beta tester of another not obvious thing: originally put the program on the tablet and registered it on this device. I thought that was logical, because with GPS it runs better than my LG P350, and the screen it larger, but then it suddenly turned out that I should not have updated to the latest firmware, therefore I can't get working on it and make screenshots for articles. However, this time, it turns out, is provided in the "Progorod". Through a personal account in a special form, it is sufficient to send a request to support with the name of the device on which you installed the program, and indicate why you want the transfer of the license. I pointed out that your current device is faulty (no root – the fault in our scenario, right?! ;-)), and prepared to wait a day or two, knowing by experience, as usual, uploaded to such services. My surprise knew no bounds when, after a maximum of 30 minutes, I came to the that the transfer of the license done and I can register it on the new device. Five points support, you rock!
Here is the letter about re-registration of the license to another device.
Installed the program, cards can now run the program. When you first start agree to the use of "mirror" service in beta mode (for Russia), otherwise it won't work, which is logical. In Ukraine this service is not yet implemented, but there is information that the soon to be launched joint avtonavigatsionnoe product MAPS.UA, travelGPS and "Progorod" that will result in more accurate and current maps of Ukraine and probably the support of online services.
It turned out that "Progorod" for Android and iOS support OpenGL and can display 3D maps, which is quite convenient. Liked the ability to turn, tilt, and zoom the map with gestures multitouch, in addition, three-dimensional diagram of the area is similar to the real world. However, in the settings all the bells and whistles can be disabled to increase performance.
Main menu.
The main menu are quite intuitive, with lots of useful features to get lost in them, perhaps can even inexperienced users.
The item "To card" will move immediately to the card and allows you to quickly Orient yourself.
"Search" works tolerably well, there is a POI search, search by address, by coordinates. It also contains history and our favorites.
Quick menu available on the map screen.
"Route" allows you to see info about the current route, maneuvers, detours, to build the reverse route and save a log file of the trip.
"Settings" is redundant, see for yourself in the screenshot.
Settings of the map view.
The item "Personal", it is duplicated information from the "Search" on the history of routes and favorites, also here we can access the log and "my alerts".
Augmented reality is an interesting feature you can see when the camera is aimed at the road, are there any POI nearby. I stopped normally updated "street View on Google maps", so this chip I will use have to.
In the main menu displays a map (you can select two-dimensional or three-dimensional modes, day and night, or automatic), few buttons (menu, quick menu with access to the most popular you have the points, scale, light and compass, clicking on which will open the map to the North) and various indicators: speed, level of reception of satellite signals, time, etc.

The program has two quite pleasant voice(male and female), commenting on the route, in addition, pleased with the function of Junction View — realistic image of complex junctions that appears when you approach her. This feature will help beginners driving or in unfamiliar terrain.
Junction View
About.
My conclusion — the software is convenient and easy to learn, it is functional – allows us to consider all the necessary junctions, 3D models of buildings taking into account the number of storeys, when connected to the Internet, and more "tube" (though not everywhere yet). Support is operative, in the event of problems helps quickly, which is a definite plus. In General, the program I liked, I will use it. My own opinion is you can be downloading a 30-day trial version.
Good luck!
