Yandex.Walking – top online guide to Russian cities [Free]

Yandex has long gone beyond the classical search engine and responds not only to user search queries. The Internet giant has created its own navigator, electronic payment system, and cartographic service. Yesterday we wrote about Yandex.Radio, and today we will get acquainted with another project of this company Yandex.Walking. If you like to travel and you have such an opportunity or you are simply curious by nature, then by all means pay attention to the online guide to the cities of Russia Yandex.Walking. The application is as informative as possible, simple and works extremely quickly and efficiently. The only requirement is that your iPhone must be connected to the Internet and it is desirable that this connection be high-speed – ideally Wi-Fi or LTE, but 3G is enough for the eyes. Yandex.Walking will provide comprehensive information about the largest cities in Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Kaliningrad, Nizhny Novgorod and many others. It will do it quickly, efficiently and with taste inherent in all Yandex applications and services. In the information about the selected city, you will find a list of attractions that simply cannot be missed. Information is grouped for each attraction separately. Having visited the Red Square in Moscow, do not forget to visit the V.I. Lenin, visit the 'Bird of Happiness' fountain and the monument to Marshal Zhukov, information about individual places is available in the description of each place. Information about cities and their sights in Yandex.Walk is available not only in text mode (information is taken from the open electronic encyclopedia Wikipedia), you can see memorable places in photographs from various users. You can bookmark a visited place, open it in Yandex.Navigator or Yandex.Maps, and share it on social networks, by email, Viber, or text message. Yandex.Walking can respond not only to your direct requests, places that are near your geo position or a selected attraction are available on a separate 'Nearby' screen. The application has no problems with information content, there is a lot of information and it is served with taste. The application interface is no different from other Yandex projects – unification rules! The descriptions provided are grouped into separate menus: Cities, Walks, Nearby and Favorites. The purpose of each menu is clear without explanation. If the city you need is not available on the main screen, Yandex.Walking can easily find it in its database and tell everything that is known about it – there is a search bar on the main screen. I admit, I really like Yandex applications, they captivate with their simplicity and convenience – Yandex.Walking is no exception. The app is available for free, contains no ads, but requires an active internet connection to work. There is also an internal cache of the application, which can be cleared at any time. If you are a traveler and have not yet been to Russian cities, this application is simply irreplaceable for navigating their sights. For the capital, it will perfectly complement the Discover Moscow program. If you are curious but limited in your capabilities, you can always take a virtual trip with Yandex.Walking – there are fewer emotions, but they are there.
