Here are the beautiful updates we brought you this time:
- The navigator for Android Auto has been thoroughly enhanced: an updated design, a new speedometer and a route progress bar, a better search. Now you can also view the entire route while driving and change the navigator settings without closing the trip.
- Did some magic in bus stop cards to display public transport schedules for you.
These are the highlights. Enjoy!

We packed a lot of useful innovations into this release!
Here's what you can now do in the app:
- build a route not just to the desired building, but directly to the nearest convenient parking lot;
- set up voice alerts about cameras: be only notified about those you need, and turn off those that distract you;
- find out the nearest public transport routes arriving at the selected stop.
Dress warmly and have a nice trip!

We have returned the ability to use the navigator... without launching the navigator. What? Yes! At the route building stage, when you set point A and point B (but haven't pressed "Go" yet), 2GIS shows the calculated route on the map. Previously, you had an option not to launch the navigator after that, but just follow this route as you see it on the map and swap points A and B (and back) to update your location. Well, we've brought this back!

Introducing the new route finder!
The route building screen has been completely overhauled: we redesigned the interface, made new mechanics for choosing and comparing routes, and added more info about the route. Added the selection of apartment building entrances to build a route to.
Also, we begin testing a new engine for our map. Everything looks the same, but the map should work faster. If you notice any problems with the app, please contact us.

Some nice updates for our dearest users.

Looking forward to spring!

We've made some very pretty improvements to the map: we began planting trees in parks and squares. We are also adding new building models — realistic as never before, with facades, glass windows, and in their original colour scheme. Check out the green parks and iconic buildings on the map in major Russian cities.

Firstly, we added a new parking lot filter to make it easier to find the no-charge ones. You can find it in the Layers menu — tap on the three dots button next to Parking lots. Secondly, we supported split screen mode (1/3) for Android Auto. Lastly, we upgraded speeding alerts — now you can specify at what speed you wish to get a heads-up.
That's it for now, and we're back to work.

Hi! Winter's coming to an end. We're sure you've been places. Now is the time to tell all about it in 2GIS to your friends and fellow users because it got easier to share photos and reviews of places. We display them the new way in the user profile and under the My Urbi tab.

Grab a coffee, then collect a burger, then stop by a pharmacy, and then to the gas station, too - now you can build your by-car or on-foot routes through multiple points. And we'll get you an optimal path. By the way, the search for a product or a service became handier: now we display categories at the top of the list to spare you the scrolling of the catalogue.

Some cool, refreshing updates just for you. 🍹
We fixed the zoom buttons that would occasionally disappear after you opened a card.
The photos that you upload would flip sideways for some reason - we fixed that too.
A little something for review writers. Share your impressions of your local coffee shop or a grocery store, and we'll express our gratitude.
And as always, made some minor tweaks and fixes for you to use Urbi even more comfortably

Now you can link different social network accounts to your Urbi account and use whichever to log in.
Added 1500 traffic cameras to the map. Speeding tickets, we won't miss you.
We also sneaked in some fixes for the app to no longer flood the memory space on HONOR 8A with its gigabyte.
version 5.42.0.356.15
posted on 2021-05-15
Urbi speaking! We've got updates. Most are solely technical, but here are the most prominent ones:
- Traffic alerts on the map got captions, e.g. a road closure schedule or on which lane there's an accident. In Android Auto, too.
- Fixed the interface elements doubling bug. Suffer no more!
- Added emoji support. We used to display them irregularly, but now you can put them even in the headers of your collections.
version 5.40.0.353.15
posted on 2021-04-09
What a release! Firstly, the crispy new design: the search bar is no longer fixed at the top, access to filters is easier, and the goods are more noticeable. Tell us what you think at dev@2gis.com.
Secondly, here comes Android Auto. Connect your device to the display of the car stereo (make sure you have the Android Auto app downloaded). The navigator will show the maneuvers and the traffic.
The sad part: we no longer support the app on Android 4 and 5. But the directory updates will go on.
version 5.39.0.323.17

Looking for something specific? Ask several companies at once about it. Search for businesses, goods, or services → tap "Send message to everyone" → describe what you're looking for → send your question to companies. And after that simply wait for replies and choose the best offer.
Company cards are now cuter than ever. And there's also something special for everyone who uses Favourites: now when you create a collection, you can choose the color of icons on the map.
version 5.38.0.319.10
posted on 2021-02-11
Getting ready for spring! We’ve added a pedestrian navigator. No need to keep your eyes on your phone anymore - just enjoy your walk, and we’ll tell you when to turn or to cross the road.
Drivers can now improve the navigator. If you noticed an incorrect speed limit, tap on the speed counter icon and type in the correct one.
If you like our app, leave us some nice words in the review, please. That’ll sure make our day! And if there’s any problem, write us at dev@2gis.com, and we’ll help.
