Google's mapping service is very popular in the world due to its huge number of functions. The application allows you to save map fragments for offline viewing, find out information about traffic jams in the city, view streets in Street View mode, and find information about various companies, institutions and popular places. But today we will get to know one of the most useful functions- navigation.
Having entered the address of home and work once, the application will tell you how to get to home/work faster and cheaper by public transport, or whether it’s worth walking. Google Maps does a great job of monitoring the movement of buses, trolleybuses and minibuses, and also knows how much it costs to travel on any type of public transport.
Another feature of the application is the ability to adapt to your preferences. For example, it suddenly started to rain, and you didn’t have an umbrella with you. No problem, just mark “Minimum walking” in the route settings, and the application will leave routes only based on this point.
The application is absolutely free and is the most functional of all existing analogues at the moment.
Yandex.Transport
The new service from Yandex was launched relatively recently, just six months ago, but has already managed to gather a huge audience of fans. The application shows the movement of buses, trolleybuses, trams and most minibuses in real time, allows you to mark the most frequent stops and counts how much time is left until arrival. The design of the map is quite clear - each type of public transport is painted in a different color, and stops are indicated by large square icons.
A special feature of the application is its narrow focus, because Yandex.Transport does not create a route on its own. When you enter a street into the search bar, the service will only show which stops are nearby and what kind of transport passes them. Last update also added an interesting “My Transport” feature. By clicking on its icon, you can leave on the map only those routes that you yourself have marked, but to enable it you will need an account in Yandex.
The application is free for iOS and Android, and it can be called one of the most convenient for moving around the city on public transport.
Yandex.Metro
The application helps you plan your trip on the metro and also tells you the travel time. It all works offline, so when going down the subway, you don’t have to worry about the service’s inability to build a route without an Internet connection.
The application interface is quite simple - the point of departure and destination can be selected either by tapping on the map or in the search list. There is also an interesting hint function that recommends the number of the car closest to the desired exit or transition.
The application provides routes only in 6 cities: Kyiv, Kharkov, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk and Istanbul.
Another application for tracking the movement of public transport using GPS. It differs from Yandex.Transport in that it has reduced functionality, as it does not allow you to add a route to your favorites and does not show animated transport icons or traffic jams. But it has a larger base of public transport and knows how to build routes from point A to point B.
The application is free and allows you to view routes in all regional centers of Ukraine, as well as in cities of Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia and Kazakhstan.

A must-have application that will help you out in difficult times. The service is focused on offline use, so if you lose your Internet connection or go to another country, and that’s all Wi-Fi points nearby are password-protected, this application will not let you get lost. Of course, you need to first download the map offline, but once you do this once, you won’t think about it anymore - everything works perfectly.
Routes are built in any city on the planet, still offline, and a detailed map will help you find out where the nearest bank branch or cafe is. The developers are so confused that the display will even show steps in the places where they exist.
The application is aimed at people who love to travel, but do not want to spend money on paper maps in an unfamiliar city. In addition, MAPS.ME will help you build a walking route and show you most of the city’s establishments.
