Update the car navigator program. How to update Navitel software on your navigator.

20.02.2018 Technique

The Navitel Update Center program is installed on personal computers and laptops on the Windows platform. It allows you to update maps and the Navitel program on your car navigator in a few simple steps.

Allow me a short introduction. I would like to tell an ordinary story of acquiring such a necessary “thing” for a motorist as a car navigator. My son bought a car, and I, in turn, bought him a navigator to give him a practical birthday present. The store recommended Lexand.

I bought what was recommended, my son is happy, and so am I. “Without leaving the cash register” I was offered to immediately update my cards, which I did, putting out an additional 500 rubles from my pocket. Then, six months after the purchase, our whole family traveled from Kostroma to Nizhny Novgorod. Naturally, we tried out the navigator in action. We were pleased with the progress, everything was on par, except for a few moments, for example, when the navigator advised us to turn to the right, but there was nowhere to turn.

The only reason for this, as we immediately realized, was that we had not updated the maps to the new version before the trip. Despite this, the trip was a success, otherwise the work of the navigator was flawless. In addition to its direct responsibilities, our Lexand pleased us with a built-in good quality DVR, multimedia capabilities, viewing photos and text files, as well as simple computer games, warned about speeding and radar.

What is Navitel Navigator?

Speaking in simple language, is this a program or navigation software, by the way, domestic, for communicators and pocket computers. In turn, these devices are equipped with GPS receivers to receive signals from the satellite. And, naturally, if it is a navigator, there should be maps of the entire territory of Russia and at least several adjacent states. The maps contain all the main highways and the names of large and small settlements. The main task of the navigator is to determine current location on the map, plotting a route, searching for objects, travel information, as well as recording the route.


Navitel update methods

You can get Navitel updates in two ways:

  1. Register on by filling out all fields of the registration form and then receive the necessary updates online.
  2. In the "" section download and install on your PC free program Navitel Update Center and use it to make updates in a few mouse clicks.

With the first option, everything is clear, after registering and logging into your personal account, you need to select the “My devices (updates)” section and select “Available updates” in the “Update tables” column. A list of updates available under purchased and registered licenses will open. Next, connect the device and update according to the instructions.
The second option, in my opinion, is simpler and more practical, since there is no need to register and enter your data, and the whole process consists of installing the program on your PC and following simple and clear instructions for updating. Let's see how this happens.

The program is installed on personal computers and laptops on the Windows platform. It allows you to update maps and the Navitel program on your car navigator in a few simple steps.

Map update Taking into account all of the above, we can draw some conclusions. Before using any unit, tool, device, you must first study the instructions for use. Why am I repeating this truth? At the beginning of the article, I wrote that I paid 500 rubles for updates in the store where I made the purchase. At that time, I didn’t know that you could do it completely free. If you, my reader, accidentally read my opus before purchasing a car navigator, you will probably not make such a mistake. And I will be sincerely happy about this. Someone will say how big a problem it is - 500 rubles. It's pennies. It depends! And as you know, a penny saves a ruble! All the best to you, right decisions, successful shopping and saving money. Your L.M.

Not long ago I was asked for software and maps on a navigator with the system installed Navitel(Navitel) – reflash, so to speak, the navigator. In fact, we are talking specifically about the Navitel navigation system itself, and not about the built-in firmware of the .

Firmware navigator – this is the installed software on the navigator. Navigation maps lie in a separate folder, they need to be downloaded separately from the Navitel program and recorded either on an external memory card or in the internal memory of the navigator itself (in a specific folder).

But in fact, with updating the Navitel software (versions of the program and maps) everything is fine much easier- so you don’t need to ask anyone, even if you have never encountered a navigator update before. Everything will be done in automatic mode, the only thing that is really required is Internet connection And time to wait for the maps to download (they are large).

How to set up Navitel navigator

To master all the subtleties of the settings, you need to study the basic functions of the navigator. The Map window allows you to manipulate route trajectories. Editing is done using the Compass icon. At the first stage, the image rotation method is selected. It is recommended to use the first option - in direction, and not in static mode. Such settings will make it easier to navigate and not get lost in unfamiliar areas.

Next you need to select two-dimensional or 3D view. The second option is the most optimal, since three-dimensional images are easier to perceive. At the final stage, you should decide on the lighting option. The navigator uses three-mode backlighting. You can choose depending on the time of day - day or night or automatic transition. It's better to choose automatic selection.


The “Sensors” window is intended for settings of the current trip. Nine parameters are used: from speed and time to a counter for measuring the number of wheel revolutions and stops along the way. It is recommended to configure only basic settings.

For more precise settings, use the corresponding menu. By selecting the “Map” subcategory in “Settings”, you can use the automatic zoom and return functions, tilt, and visual effects.

The “Navigation” window allows you to manipulate a number of parameters - the choice of transport and road, plotting the optimal route and various kinds of warnings. For example, if you select “Car”, the program will understand that the data needs to be updated at automobile speed. If you need to plot a route that excludes toll roads or dirt roads, you can configure the corresponding function on the “Navigations” tab.

Additional services offered to users by Navitel for Android are also available for settings. You can configure the services “SMS” and “Friends”, “Weather” and “Warnings”, “Events” and “Traffic”. First two online service will allow you to communicate with friends: add them to groups, see them on the map and exchange short messages.
