To find a way, for example, to the nearest diner in an unfamiliar place, it is not at all necessary to disturb police, passers-by or look for a store with maps - you just need to install a navigator on your phone beforehand. Modern smartphones and tablets have special built-in GPS sensors that can help in finding the road.
One of the most popular applications for the Android operating system today are iGo and Navitel. These programs make it possible to use androids, tablets and mobile phones just like full-fledged navigators.
Unlike iGo, Navitel is more focused on Russian users. Since full-fledged navigators are quite expensive, many motorists prefer to install such programs on their mobile devices.
