Updating the program via the NAVITEL ® website

Navitel program Update Center» installed on personal computers and laptops on 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, shelling 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 to the right.

The only reason for this, as we understood, 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 DVR good quality, 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 the website //navitel.ru/ru/ by filling out all fields of the registration form and then receive the necessary updates online.
2. In the section //navitel.ru/ru/downloads/update_center download and install free on your PC Navitel program Update Center and use it to make updates in a few mouse clicks.

WITH first option everything is clear after registering and logging in personal account, you need to select the “My devices (updates)” section and in the “Update tables” column select “ Available updates" A list of updates available under purchased and registered licenses will open. Next, connect the device and update according to the instructions.
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 by update. 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.

Navitel update

1 . Install the program on your computer. The installation process is standard and simple, so there is no point in describing it. Launch the program. A window will open:

2 . Connect the navigator using a cable to the USB connector. The program will find the connected device:

Note: if the program cannot find the device, you need to check the navigator settings: Settings → USB → put a marker on Storage.

3 . Click the Next button. Will be found executable file Navitel.exe and suggested update version. If the version is current, as in the screenshots below, you can be happy and exit the program.

4 . If the version is not current, you need to follow the program prompts and make the necessary updates.

Map update

The program will also offer map updates. Pay attention to the available space in the navigator's memory cards. For example, there are 406 MB left on the M memory card I selected:

This space is clearly not enough and the program suggested choosing another memory card. So I'll select memory card L:

And here is the result:

P.S. 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 of charge. 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. For whom? And as you know, a penny saves a ruble! All the best to you, good decisions, successful purchases and saving money. Your L.M.

Today, even a novice driver can easily navigate unfamiliar terrain and plan a route using the Navitel GPS navigator. After all, a clearly laid out vehicle course is an important component of traffic safety, especially in conditions of limited visibility.

This is achieved primarily by the fact that the device warns of approaching obstacles, such as turns, descents, traffic jams, weather conditions and dangerous sections of roads, so that the driver has time to reduce speed and take other precautions.

GPS navigation and the importance of firmware

To have accurate information, you need to understand the operation of the device and how to update the navigator. Navitel produces different software modules automatic correction data and makes changes to the cartography at least once every six months to correct incorrect display information and errors that arise when drawing up a route and adding new objects to the database.

This process needs to be monitored in order to know when it is time to update (flash) your version of the program. Also available to the user free program Windows OS - Navitel Navigator Updater. Using it, you can update maps and programs quickly and easily, in just a couple of clicks.

A GPS navigator is a kind of miniature computer that receives information from a satellite, processes it and displays it on touch screen. This unique system for a long time was classified and intended only for military use by the US Army.

One more thing undeniable advantage new technologies - all movement occurring around the car is recorded on video, which greatly facilitates the search for evidence and facts of (non) involvement in the event of an accident. Today, anyone can use navigation, regardless of location, and if not everyone, then almost everyone knows how to update the Navitel navigator and what is needed to improve its functionality.

When do you need to update?

The main task of any navigation is to provide information about populated areas with street names and the location of important objects, which is contained in maps. But the device will work accurately if the programs and information were installed correctly, and this requires regular update systems.

"Navitel" is one of the most popular domestically produced products. We’ll talk about how to update the Navitel navigator today. Distinctive Features of this device are support for downloading status updates and changes traffic and multi-platform (works on 9 operating systems and different languages). Regardless of the model, shape, cost and other parameters, any navigation device consists of three main parts:

• "gland";
• GPS programs;
• GPS cartography.

A hardware update is required when there was a manufacturing defect or a malfunction was discovered during operation for which there is no firmware yet available to fix it. As for atlases, you need to update Navitel maps on your navigator immediately after the release of a new version of GPS cartography. Manufacturers regularly improve and add new data to the database, and if you do not update them on your navigator, you should not count on comfortable driving and clear orientation on the terrain.

How to update the Navitel navigator yourself?

It is possible to update the device yourself, you just need to remember some nuances. For example, licensed program WinCE, like most others, is reinstalled using the key that comes with the device upon purchase. Only knowing the key, you can go to the manufacturer’s website and follow the instructions to perform an update designed specifically for your model.

The code is easy to find in the system itself if you know where it is located, and the file can be located in one of three folders: Navitel, NaviOne, MobileNavigator. You should only delete information from the folder with maps; it will be called either NavitelContent or Atlas. If you erase the folder called RegistrationKey or NaviTel Activation Key, then you also delete license code. In this case, you will have to flash the navigator using the “left” method. You need to remember this before updating Navitel maps on your navigator, otherwise you risk losing all installation programs.

Firmware methods

There are several options for updating your car navigator.

First option:

• you need to register on the manufacturer’s website, find new version product and access it;
• Having selected a program or card, click the “download” command;
• the resulting file is saved on the computer;
• unzip the folder if necessary;
• if you did everything correctly and the files are ready, then connect the navigator to the computer with a USB cable;
• go to the folder with cards on the device and clean it to write new ones;
• Now you can restart the system and use updated version software.

The second way to properly update the Navitel navigator is quite simple and is used when there is free access to the Internet. You need to connect to the network and run the program. In the “my products” folder, select a card. File replacement will begin automatically.

Navigator "Navitel Prology"

There shouldn’t be any difficulties in how to update the Navitel Prology navigator, because this procedure is the same as with other devices that work with Navitel programs. As for this particular model, it is more convenient to update the system directly from the device by connecting it to the Internet. In addition, it is possible to install cards from several manufacturers simultaneously.

Before starting the firmware, carefully look at what version of the Prology navigator you have, because there are many similar models? Differing from each other only in one letter or almost imperceptible symbol. Also, be careful before updating the Navitel Explay navigator, which has additional letters in its name.

Create your own map

You can also, if you wish, create your own map of the place you want to visit in the future without losing existing information. To do this you need:

• log into the device’s flash card via a computer;
• create a new folder;
• download selected maps;
• insert the map into the navigator;
• go to Navitel settings and point to the folder with maps;
• execute the commands “Open atlas” and “Create atlas”;
• the program will start loading the map.

These are universal options self-updating for all navigators with Navitel maps. Remember that during the firmware process it is not recommended to disconnect the computer and the navigator from the PC from the network. If you are not entirely sure that you can restart the system yourself, then it is better to contact service center, where they will update you in a few minutes and advise you on any issue.

Very often, when using navigators, their owners are faced with the problem of updating maps. As a rule, most turn either to companies that sell these devices, or to local “craftsmen” with a request to help in this matter. But when the right approach You can save money, because updating your navigator is not such a difficult matter.
First, let's figure out which maps are most suitable for which navigators.

In the market of navigators and navigation maps Nowadays there are a lot of manufacturers who use cards from third-party developers in their devices. If you buy navigator Prestigio or Prology, then Navitel system cards will be preinstalled on them, but having purchased Garmin nuvi 1300, you will become the owner of maps developed specifically for this device, which will make it difficult to switch to maps and services from another manufacturer, although today all GPS developers are actively expanding the capabilities of devices and they are equivalent in functionality.

To update the navigator, you will need a computer and a USB cable to connect the navigator to the computer. We download the map for the device to the computer, then connect the navigator and copy your maps to it. Each manufacturer has a slightly different procedure.
Let's start with devices controlled by Navitel software, as the most widespread and popular in the CIS.

Video tutorial on how to update Navitel on a car navigator and install new maps

The first thing you need to do is download from the website www.navitel.su latest update cards from the manufacturer. To counteract pirates who steal cards, the developers have introduced registration for each device, so you will need to register, and then download the update from the “My Devices” menu from your personal account.

Select the type of map depending on your navigator. Unpack the resulting file. We connect the navigator to the computer, go into its memory, cut out all the old maps onto the computer, and upload new maps instead. Disconnect the device from the computer and launch the Navitel program. If you did everything correctly, the program itself will find the map files and launch them. Sometimes you need to create a map for a specific region, but you will also need the maps installed on your navigator.

In this case, create a folder on the flash drive from your navigator with any name, for example, Home.

We load the maps into this folder, insert the USB flash drive into the navigator, and In the Navitel program settings, manually specify the path to the folder:

• Select “Open atlas” and click create atlas at the bottom.
• In the window that opens, indicate where our Home directory is located.
• Open the folder and click the “Create Atlas” button.
• We wait for the program to load the map, click on the checkmark.
• We mark the card in the list and use it.

Instructions for devices that work with Navitel cards. The most common navigators you will encounter are Explay navigators, Prestigio, Prology.

But the Garmin navigator update is going a little differently. For correct installation you will need a utility from the manufacturer, called "Garmin Communicator", which is located on the official website:

• We go to the website and select the device type.
• We connect the navigator.
• If necessary, enter the serial number.
• Go to the search for updates, click the “Find updates for maps” button.

Types of update

nuMaps Guarantee™ update for Nuvo, Zumu, Dezl devices:

• Go to the website www.garmin.com, go to the update section.
• We connect the device.
• Double click on “Update Now”.
• We determine the format of your card.
• Click “Download”.
• Save.

You need to install it as follows:

• Launch the saved GarminMapsUpdate.
• If necessary, we go through the update procedure.
• After accepting " License Agreement", click "Continue" and follow the prompts that appear on the screen.
• If the update asks for a key, then enter the license number in the add key field.

To find out the license number, on the Garmin website in the Maps Updates section, select your navigator and click “content on device”, copy and paste:

• Click on the inscription “You can start updating the maps.”
• Select the region of the map that we want to install. Don't be alarmed if the update takes a long time, sometimes a couple of hours.

It happens that there is not enough space to add new cards and the system will ask you whether to clean the device. By checking the "Save music and pictures to computer" checkbox, you will save them to your computer.

Your attention may be drawn to the “Installation Options” inscription. In it, you decide which card should be updated or installed, and you can also specify the region that will be displayed on the device.

This method is quite complicated for a beginner, so Garmin has created a simpler and easy way. With the help of the Garmin Lifetime Updater program, it is possible to offline mode update maps.

The program itself constantly searches and updates maps depending on what maps are installed or on your location and updates them:

• Double-click the "Garmin Lifetime Updater" installer file that has permissions or exe (or dmg if you happy owner MacPc), then carefully read and follow the instructions.
• Add your device by clicking “add device”, enter the name of the device, creating an alias for it.
• Click "Add Device".

If you already have installed old version file, you will need to update the map.
Garmin program Lifetime Updater has many settings that will make your life much easier later.

Let's look at them in more detail:

• "Devices". In this section you can add or remove a device.
• "Schedule". Here you indicate after what period you need to update the cards.
• "Compound". If you have a connection through a proxy server, then specify its settings at this point.
• "Installation" is the most interesting section, your device can be updated immediately, or you can have the maps downloaded to your computer themselves and then uploaded to the connected device. Very convenient if you make money from this. A client arrives, and you have his navigator in the settings. You connect, and the update begins immediately, without unnecessary movements.
• "About the program." Here, in addition to information about installed version, you won't find anything else.
  Sometimes you will need a map that is not included in your package on your navigator. Then you can go two ways. The first is correct, but expensive - using the nuMapsLifetime utility.

Connect the navigator to the computer, go to the Garmin website, then enter the serial number:

• Next to the desired card, click “Add to the list of selected products.”
• Follow all subsequent instructions.

The second method is illegal, but free. On the Internet you look for cards, as a rule, along with them comes a keygen, which will help you break the protection against pirates.

• Then we connect the navigator to the computer, first installing an SD card in it. Your navigator will now appear in “My Computer” as two new drives.
• We go to the flash drive (not to the internal memory of the navigator), there we create the “Garmin” folder, where we write the downloaded files with maps and keys to them. That's two different files, one contains the card, and the second is generated using keygen. You will find how to create it in the archive with maps. The fact is that each keygen has its own instructions, which are usually located in the readme file (opened using notepad). And the ID number will help generate a key file for the card.

One more is enough new service maps for navigators - "Citiguide". Maps work with both GPS and Glonas. Their peculiarity is that they are released free of charge, but with a trial period. Also with the help of additional paid content their capabilities are expanding. The maps are very convenient and accurate; they were developed by the Russian company Mit LLC.

IN free version your navigator will only work for 15 days. But paid add-ons will turn it into a simply amazing device that will show traffic jams, be able to adjust the map online with changes in traffic flow or new installed signs, indicate where road work is being carried out, and you will not need to update them.

All this is implemented by involving all traffic participants in the service of informing others; you will be able to mark problem areas on the navigator, which will transfer them to the server, where they will be marked and broadcast to other people. The software package provides the ability to communicate with friends through the built-in “walkie-talkie” program, which has a separate channel on the Internet, and you can also see where they are at any time. But this is possible if they have City Guide on their navigator.

Another advantage of this system is the use of cards from free project OpenStreetMap, which are adapted for this system. But paid functions do not work on them, except for some maps that can display traffic jams.

Installing the program is very simple: directly from the device, go to the program service (for example, GooglePlay or AppStore) and download it from there. Next, launch it and select the trial or paid option to download the program. If you choose a trial, your cards will only work for 15 days from the moment of downloading and only if there is Internet access.

We install cards using a computer:

• We go to the website www.probki.net.
• Enter the password and login received during trial activation (you can find them in this way: Menu -> Miscellaneous -> Settings -> City Guide -> Account).
• In the “Your licenses” list, select trial license, the letters TMPA will be the first, followed by numbers.
• We go to the map section and select the map that we need, while hovering the mouse cursor over the word “date”, as a result it will change to the word “download”, and the free time will begin counting from the date.
• In the panel that appears after “download”, select required service and download it to your computer.
• Connect the navigator using USB cord that comes with the kit. Before this, you will need to change the operating mode of the device; see the instructions for the device.
• We select an SD memory card and copy the downloaded maps into it, into a folder on the navigator called CGMaps.

• Disconnect the navigator from the computer.
• We launch the navigation program in the main menu of the navigator.
  You can also install maps online from your device, if it has high speed connection. To do this:
• Select the “Download maps” menu along the path: Menu -> Miscellaneous -> Settings -> Maps -> Map Manager.
• Choose necessary cards from the server, check the boxes.
• Confirm the download by clicking on the checkmark in the lower right corner. Let's download.
  After downloading we receive licenses
• Go to: Menu -> Miscellaneous -> Settings -> Maps -> Map Manager -> Map Licenses.
• We are waiting for the license to be activated.

If you receive a negative answer, check whether your login and password are entered correctly, as well as your Internet connection.

As with other navigation systems, pirates also hacked Cityguide; the most common cure for it is the cure from Freedom-forum. The instructions are very simple:

• Loading the Freedom forum.
• We delete the CityGuide folder on the navigator; before doing this, be sure to save all bookmarks and other files on your computer.
• Download and run the installation program with the .apk extension (for Android OS), install and close immediately.
• Installing the Freedom forum.
• Launch CityGuide and download trial maps.
• When the download is complete, a buy message will appear. By clicking on it, a message will appear that the application has been purchased. Congratulations, you are now the owner of working paid cards.

But this option does not always work, which is why there are already hacked navigation programs. To replace, simply erase the official one and replace it with the one hacked by pirates. Then follow the instructions.

The navigation program from Cityguide will work perfectly on all models of navigators from Explay, Prestigio and Prology. Even if you install them instead of those that were already there.
I would like to note that maps from Navitel have all the capabilities that Cityguide has, but at the same time, some functions are implemented in them much more inconveniently than in navigation maps from Cityguide.

It is also worth considering another navigator and a set of navigation maps. It's called Shturmann. True, its developer closed the project and they are no longer produced. But there were still cards for him, and not bad ones at that. The easiest way to do this is to run the Installer.exe file and all the maps will be installed on the navigator, just don’t forget to connect it to your computer first.
