“Progorod”: navigation system optimized for Tablet

Recently,in the world and in Russia have begun to appear online tablets with higher resolution – for example, Samsung Galaxy Table This model is equipped with a display with 7-inch and 1024 x 600 pixels. Such non-standard device for Android-resolution (it is more characteristic of netbooks) leads to what is currently available navigation systems for the Android platform – “SitiGid”, “Navitel Navigator”, “Ida” and so on – not available on Galaxy Tab, or cause unstable.

In this case, “Navitel have to pay in any case, whereas user” Progorod “can get unlimited free license. Run at least once to send a monthly series of coordinates are periodically received from the Dell U4873 battery receiver device, together with the time stamp . these input to the server program These are then used to determine the velocity profiles of roads, the efficiency of the program increases adapt. However, the cost for a commercial license even after a challenge on the pocket. – It is 950 rubles Agree. , a reasonable price for a navigation system that runs on most platforms and devices with a screen resolution.

Disadvantages “Progorod” are also available. For example, recent version of the navigation system for only two mobile operating systems have existed – Windows Mobile and Windows CE. But today released version for Android, and another promising mobile platform – Dell KD186 battery Bada. Meanwhile Release “Progorod” for the iPhone and iPad (ie IOS) has not yet taken place, though the version of the iPad was demonstrated by the developers for a long time – about six months. And, alas, still in place major flaw “Progorod” – the lack of an integrated “mirror” service.

One of the advantages of using “Progorod” is to use their own cards to use for which the original very detailed satellite images. They are also checked and supplemented by information gathered the dirt road crews with panoramic Dell D5318 battery. On the system “Progorod” a team of cartographers navigation, numbering about a hundred specialists, many of whom were trained abroad (in South Korea, where okolonavigatsionnaya “culture has developed for many years, and the entry-level navigation,” the people “70 -80% – versus 5% in Russia), this provides a monthly update of maps, which is a record for Russia.

Download “Progorod, like most other Android applications can use the program Market directly Android then run the Universal Installer, which selects and sets the version of the program for a specific screen resolution, in the case of the Samsung Galaxy Tab -. In 1024 x 600 pixels. Dell 3R305 battery should be noted that it can be determined depending on the type of device, and a version with interface elements for a screen resolution of 320 x 240 320 x 480 or 480 x 800 pixels are optimized.

Of course, some other navigation systems have at least an extensive address base and lid. However, the “paper” features not always reflect the situation. For example, the navigation system map “A” detailed plans for targeted 200 villages with a population of 10,000 people, while card program “B” – Detailed plans targeted 20 cities with a population of half a million people. Dell C1295 battery is clear that most users would be interested in the second navigation system, despite the loss in the numbers: In general, you use the navigation in large cities, small towns and all right Sun.

Internet Tablet (Tablet, Tablet PC) for the last year have been many users of expensive toys in the daily tool. Their advantage is the combination of the functions of several devices, like media players, notebooks, readers and navigators. Tablet PC screens, with its wide screen and ubiquitous devices with this type of integrated GPS receiver equipped, making them very good candidate for a navigation device. The vast majority of today’s tablet runs Android.
