Telmap announced that yet another carrier has decided to implement and offer their navigation solution. Russia’s MTS launched MTS Navigator, which provides full Russian language support and includes in-car navigation with 3D moving maps, voice guidance directions that announce street names, and a dedicated pedestrian mode. Additionally, user can also access to thousands of points of interest across Russia, including restaurants, bars, hotels and more.
As far as I’ve understood, the new service works only on the MTS 840 device, but will be available for more phones in the near future. In the meantime, those with the MTS 840 can use MTS Navigator free of charge.
Commenting on the service launch, Telmap’s CEO Oren Nissim said: “Telmap is confident that MTS Navigator will provide MTS subscribers unique, customized and localized location-enabled experience, and we will continue working with MTS on adding local content and information to the service, striving for an optimal user experience.”
