In Yandex Maps, you can already enable 3D routes and ultra-detailed markup

Recently, Yandex introduced a new generation of its Maps, and now it has become possible to test the updated service – at least some of its parts. Early beta testers will be able to experience the new highly detailed in-car navigation that displays the number of lanes on the road and markings, as well as the exact width and shape of roads. In addition, it will be possible to test a smart route indicator that shows which side of the road to go from. True, there is a limitation – so far such a highly detailed map is available for the main roads within the borders of the Third Ring Road in Moscow.

The number of places for testers is limited to 5,000 on Android and the same number on iOS, so those who wish should hurry.

How to become a Yandex Maps tester on Android

  1. Exit the Yandex Maps beta testing program if you are a member of it.
  2. Enter your email associated with Google Play in a special form.
  3. Within 24 hours, an invitation letter should come to the indicated mail, follow the link in it and join the testing.
  4. Install the test application, restart it a couple of times and activate the “Navigator” mode.

How to become a Yandex Maps tester on iOS

  1. Install the TestFlight program, and then follow the invitation link and join the test.
  2. Install the test application, restart it a couple of times and activate the Navigator mode.

In the future, developers will make objects on the maps more realistic: for example, facades will get realistic textures and colors, buildings will have windows and voluminous porches, real-shaped roofs will appear. At the same time, detailed benches, stops, underground passages, etc. will be added – the service will even pay attention to the exact location of trees.
