Not so long ago I chose a car navigator, one article really helped . After which I became interested in card suppliers and decided to write a short review.
So, manufacturers of maps for car navigators:
1. JJ-Group (Russian manufacturer)
Coverage, see their website . Absolutely everything is Russia.
The flexibility of the cards is oak.
Wring their hands - do not give.
Reviews - in many cities they don’t see by the half-district, user reviews are pretty bad.
2. TomTom (headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands), founded in 1991, acquired Tele Atlas in 2008(which, in fact, dealt with cards from the very beginning), offices in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, 3300 employees, work very beautifully .
Coverage : see link . Russia as a whole is poorly covered.
Card flexibility - it is possible to notify of an error, the error is checked and corrected.
Wring your hands - you can here in beta.
Reviews are flattering.
3. Navitel (Russian manufacturer)
Coating see link . Absolutely everything - Russia and Ukraine.
Card flexibility - there is no error notification feature.
Waving hands- do not give.
Reviews - flattering, of course, only in the Russian Federation.
4. NAVTEQ - the full name of Navigation Technologies (headquarters - Chicago, Illinois), founded in 1985, more than 4,000 employees located in 196 offices in 43 countries, purchased by Nokia in 2008. They work approximately like TomTom.
Coverage - 76 countries, 6 continents, see link .
Card flexibility - the ability to report errors.
Wring your hands - you can carefully, achtung! die Deutsche Schprache.
Reviews are flattering.
On the Internet, I found a couple of route planners for cars. Whose cards are inside these services, I do not know. But I liked the first Michelin-listed service:

http://route.rac.co.uk
http://www.mappy.com
http://www.mapquest.com/ directions
http://maps.yahoo.com
Everyone looked crazy, the general impression of the companies was formed.
Further, if anyone continues to search for a navigator, the common auto-navigation programs are:
1. TomTom Navigator
2. iGO
3. MioMap
4. Sygic Drive
5. Autosatellite
6. Destinator
7. Be-On-Road
8. MioMap 2008
See the “at work” interface you yourself know where (www.youtube.com ) I
looked at device ratings here .
