Possibility to pay for parking in St. Petersburg
In St. Petersburg, it became possible to pay for parking using a cartographic service - in the 2GIS application. The company announced this on October 24, 2024.
The feature is available in an updated version of the geoservice app for iOS and Android phones .
2GIS has launched payment for parking lots in St. Petersburg, now motorists can pay for parking with it - without going to the parking room or opening other applications. The function is already working on the territory of all paid urban parking zones - as of October 2024, they include 652 sections of the road network in the Central, Admiralteysky, Petrograd and Vasileostrovsky districts. These places are under the jurisdiction of the "St. Petersburg City Parking Management Center" - as the network develops, new plots will also become available for payment through 2GIS.
When traveling through the navigator, the 2GIS application will inform the motorist that he is parking in the paid zone - you can go to payment by clicking on the button in the navigator's prompt. In addition, the user can simply click in the parking lot on the geoservice card - and if it is paid, her card will also have a button for payment. After clicking, the payment page will open, where you can check it with your bank card. The payment service works on the decision of an external integrator, the commission of which is 3% - for example, when paying for an hour of parking a car in St. Petersburg, which costs 100 rubles, the commission will be equal to 3 rubles.
 | This option will 2GIS increase convenience and save time for car owners - there is no need to go in search of a column with a parking number and download a separate application for payment - it is much easier to pay without leaving the car and navigator, "said Mikhail Skrinnik, product manager of transport in 2GIS. |  |
Previously, a parking layer appeared in the 2GIS - you can turn it on with a button in the upper left corner on the main screen of the application. The layer will highlight in color all available places in the city where to park the car - both paid and free, both public and only for residents. At the same time, you can choose which parking lots to show on the map - this helps to better navigate and avoid fines for incorrect parking.
Detailed 3D models of seven cramels
2GIS transferred the beauty of famous structures to the map - now you can virtually walk along them and see from new angles the details of architectural ensembles, facades, park territories. The company announced this on October 2, 2024.
Realistic models of the seven Kremlin of Russia have appeared in the 2GIS - those that are most often searched on maps. They are located in six cities: Moscow, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Astrakhan, Pskov, Ryazan. You can choose where to go this fall on a virtual, and then on a real trip. 3D models on maps repeat the main architectural forms, elements and colors of facades of iconic objects and buildings - this will help city residents and tourists study travel locations in advance and better navigate the city.
| | We have added virtual copies of the Kremlin so that users can assess the scale and power of these architectural dominants on maps, be inspired and navigate. The total length of the Kremlin walls of these seven structures exceeds 10 km - this is more than the Great Wall of China. We are already working on 3D models of other Kremles, - said Natalya Teedemaa, chief process engineer of the 2GIS. | |
In addition to buildings, the map shows the interior: observation platforms, benches and lanterns, trees - already in the autumn design of the map, with yellow crowns. And in the nocturnal theme, you can see lanterns and windows in buildings lighting up - as in real life at nightfall.
Right on the maps of the 2GIS, you can go, for example, to the Moscow Kremlin and look at the long 125-meter facade of the Grand Kremlin Palace, which stretches along the embankment of the Moscow River, and to all the Kremlin's structures, for example, the Assumption Cathedral, Teremnaya Palace, Arsenal, Senate Palace, Faceted Chamber and other important elements of the ensemble. All objects on the map are as detailed as possible - even small elements are visible, for example, in the Alley of Hero Cities you can see the eternal flame.
In addition to the country's main Kremlin, in 2GIS you can walk through the white stone Kazan Kremlin, which was built under Ivan the Terrible; the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin by Italian Pietro Francesco; look at the southernmost Kremlin of Russia - Astrakhan; see one of the oldest Russian Kremlin, which was built at the end of the XI-beginning of the XII century - the Pskov Kremlin or in the Ryazan Kremlin to look at Oleg's Palace.
In total, 1084 realistic sights are presented on the maps of 2GIS in Russia for October 2024, including the Krasnodar Stadium, the Palace of Farmers, the building of the Nizhny Novgorod Fair or Zaryadye Park. Almost 200 realistic buildings are represented in Moscow, and many of them are going to complexes following the example of the Moscow Kremlin. So, on the maps you can see the complex of the business center "Moscow City," the architectural ensemble of VDNH, Manezhnaya Square, Varvarka Street.
Electric train routes and super-detailed roads
On April 26, 2024, 2GIS announced that it had added electric train routes and schedules, detailed realistic roads with markings and updated navigator cursors.
According to the company, a railway transport schedule has appeared in the 2GIS - now users can build the optimal route taking into account electric trains, and in Moscow also at the MCD and aeroexpress.
2GIS began to build routes on public transport not only taking into account buses, trolleybuses, trams and the metro (depending on what is in the city), but also taking into account electric trains. Now the service will calculate the exact travel time taking into account the train schedule and will offer this travel option if it is convenient. And also - it will tell you the next flights, waiting time, arrival and travel time so that the user knows exactly how to get faster. On the 2GIS travel screen, you can click on the "About the route" button to find out useful details, for example, a detailed schedule for the whole day, in order to better plan the trip.
With electric trains, 2GIS now builds combined routes - for example, when the first part of the path is on foot, the second - by train, the third - by metro. The service will also tell you how long it will take, taking into account the waiting for the train on the platform and the trip itself.
The 2GIS already has a schedule of more than 1240 electric trains in 21 cities - in Moscow,, St. Petersburg,, Nizhny Novgorod,, Perm,, Krasnoyarsk,, Vladivostok,, Yekaterinburg,, Novokuznetsk,, Novosibirsk,, Volgograd,,,, and Irkutsk. Kazan Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Krasnodar Rostov-on-Don Most Toole Kirov Eagle Kaliningrad To Samara of these Sochi routes in Moscow are 557, taking into account the MCD, MCC and aeroexpress.
Over time, the number of routes and schedules of railway transport in the 2GIS will increase, very soon they will be added for seven more cities - Ufa, Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Barnaul, Saratov, Nizhny Tagil and Ryazan.
With the May update, realistic roads with actual width, markings, traffic lights and parking pockets appeared in the 2GIS geoservice. You can enable the mode of ultra-detailed roads in the navigator settings. And if the user previously had the "three-dimensional roads" mode turned on, which 2GIS introduced in the fall of 2023, ultra-detailed coatings and markup will appear automatically.
| | Realistic roads are a logical continuation of the development of detailed immersive maps. Ultra-detailed roads in 2GIS allow card users to reach the next level of interaction with the application - now their experience will become even more complete and voluminous, and the use of the service will become more convenient, especially for drivers. Work on the details of the maps continues. Gradually, the coverage area with realistic roads will increase, and bike paths will also be displayed on the roads. told Maxim Berezkin, Head of Transport and Navigation Product in 2GIS | |
In addition to paving and marking on the roads, pedestrian crossings and traffic lights, volume interchanges, exits, safety islands are drawn in 3D format in large cities, supports on multi-level roads are detailed, and the entrances to the tunnels are displayed in real 3D view, which creates the effect of immersion and presence on the trip, helping to navigate the journey.
The first 3D models in immersive format appeared in 2GIS in July 2023. As of April 2024, almost a thousand realistic sights and iconic architectural structures are available in the geoservice in more than 100 cities of Russia. Among them, for example, VDNH, the Moscow Kremlin, the State Hermitage (St. Petersburg) and the first realistic model of the airport in Russia - Sochi International Airport named after V.I. Sevastyanova. In addition to buildings, parks and courtyards have become realistic in the 2GIS - more than 10 million trees and shrubs have been "planted" on maps.
Road updates are already available in all million-plus cities in Russia, as well as in,, and for and Sochi Irkutsk Murmansk Leninsk-Kuznetsky mobile application. iOS Later, Android detailed roads will appear in the online version of the 2GIS. The size of downloaded city maps will not increase.
Updated cursors have appeared in the geoservice, which are configured in the navigator. You can turn on, for example, a classic car, sports car, all-terrain vehicle, motorcycle and even UFOs - cursors can be changed depending on the mood.
To turn on the desired cursor, you need to go to the navigator settings, open the "updated navigator cursors" and select the desired icon. Cursors are available in the mobile app on iOS and Android platforms, as well as in CarPlay and Android Auto.
Trains, realistic roads and cursors are already available in 2GIS for iOS and Android, you can update the application or download it from the App Store and Google Play. On Google Play, the official 2GIS app returned at the end of April 2024.
Presentation of the 3D model of Sochi Airport
2GIS April 22, 2024 presented the first realistic 3D model of the airport - Sochi International Airport named after V.I. Sevastyanova. Now in the geoservice you can see in detail the architecture of the terminal and the adjacent territory - up to which trees grow nearby. This immersion in the urban landscape of one of the most popular resort cities will make orienteering in it more convenient and pleasant.
The object is drawn comprehensively - the main airport building, VIP terminal and railway tunnel can be approached and viewed from different directions. In addition, telescopic ladders and even 3D models of aircraft are displayed on the platform in a realistic form. Depending on the time of day, the map changes the display mode of a realistic airport model: as in a real city, at night it looks different than during the day.
| | 2GIS continues to develop maps of the future and continuously improve geoservice. A year ago, we launched the first 3D models in immersive format, and now about a thousand realistic models of the country's main buildings and attractions are available in the geoservice, "said Dmitry Demchenko, head of the 2GIS 's technology department. - The first immersive airport on maps was Sochi International Airport, which is located in one of the most popular year-round resort cities in Russia and ranks fifth in terms of passenger turnover in the country. Work on the details of the maps continues, gradually realistic models and other air terminals will be drawn on the maps of the 2GIS, which will help users immerse themselves in the urban landscape even before visiting the city, assess the scale and beauty in anticipation of the flight. | |
| | We strive to make the stay of our guests as comfortable as possible. Therefore, together with the geoservice 2GIS we created a 3D model of our airport in immersive format. Now each passenger can easily navigate in space, which will help to find the necessary locations at the airport even before arriving in Sochi, "said Alexey Komarov, Managing Director of Sochi Airport. | |
On the maps, floor plans of the airport 2GIS also drawn, which help visitors navigate inside the terminals, showing the location of entrances and exits, stairs, elevators. The service will tell you the desired one of 30 boarding gates, orient where any of the more than 150 organizations is located, including airline representative offices, catering establishments, shops, taxi services, ATMs, a pharmacy and Aero hotel, indicating the operating mode, visitor reviews and other useful information. With the help of 2GIS, airport visitors will be able not only to find important airport infrastructure, but also to build a route to them inside the building - the service will tell you where it is better to climb or turn to reach the desired place.
As of April 2024, realistic models are available in 2GIS in more than 100 cities of Russia. Among them, for example, VDNH, the Moscow Kremlin, the State Hermitage (St. Petersburg), the Iceberg Ice Sports Palace (Sochi).
A realistic 3D model of the airport is already available on the 2gis.ru website, as well as mobile application iOS for and. Android The size of downloaded city maps will not increase - realistic 3D models are loaded online if available. Internet
Displaying weather information
2GIS began to display weather information on the maps - the actual air temperature in the selected location, the presence of clouds and precipitation. Now it will be more convenient for users to plan trips and walks - for example, choose a weather-appropriate way to move around the city, find out if it is raining at their destination and whether they need to take an umbrella. This was announced by 2GIS on April 11, 2024.
The weather widget on the main screen of the mobile application 2GIS shows what the air temperature is now, cloudy and whether there is precipitation - in the part of the city that the user sees on the map. When moving the map, the weather changes to the current one in the new location. 2GIS receives weather data from the Meteonosti service of DANIO press.
The weather is already available on the main screen of the 2GIS application on iOS, in the near future it will appear in navigator mode, as well as in the geoservice application for Android.
Real-time availability of electric stations
The mapping service has 2GIS begun to show availability electrogas stations - users can see where there are free charging slots. electric vehicle This feature is already available mobile application in 2GIS on and. Android iOS Geoservice analysts also compiled a rating cities for the average cost of charging an electric car. The developer announced this on April 10, 2024.
According to the 2GIS, there are stations for charging electric vehicles for April 2024 in more than 500 cities and settlements of Russia. You can find them at the request of the "electric vehicle charging station" - such stations will be marked in the search result markers on the map with special icons with lightning, as well as marked in the list and in the cards. Those stations where all or most of the charging connectors are free have a green dot, partially free or fully occupied - orange: just one click in the geoservice will show how many terminals are available now. Charging status information is updated in real time. Gray icons on the map show stations that are not currently operating.
| | This function will save time and make the right decision where to charge an electric car. It is especially useful when the scenario for viewing the charging status is now available in the same application that helps you choose companies and places in cities and immediately build routes to them, "said Alexander Syrkov, head of products for 2GIS users. - This became possible thanks to the pilot project of the unified information service of charging stations for electric transport of the Ministry of Power of the Russian Federation. Now data on the current status of the ESS are recorded and transmitted to the geoservice in real time, and the number of such stations is constantly growing. As of April 2024, more than a thousand such stations are available in the 2GIS, for example, charging the networks Energia Moskvy, Rosseti, RusHydro and Siberia Charges. Over time, their number on the cards will increase. | |
Electric charge cards in the 2GIS indicate the type of connector, power and charge cost. Geoservice analysts calculated the average cost of charging in the ten cities with the most stations in the country. In Moscow, a significant number of publicly available ESS are free, but like in other cities there are paid stations - on their basis, the average cost of charging was calculated.\
Krasnoyarsk became the city with the cheapest charging cost out of 10 cities with the largest number of ESS in Russia - the average cost of kW/h here is 10.52 rubles. At the opposite end of the rating, St. Petersburg - the cost of one kWh in the northern capital is almost 19 rubles.
Optimizing an iOS app for visually impaired users
The cartographic service 2GIS has been updated mobile application for - iOS now sight it will be much easier and more convenient for users with violations to navigate the city: find organizations and build routes and transport. The company announced this on April 2, 2024.
2GIS began to fully work in VoiceOver mode - the function built into iOS reads the screen and voices the application interface, and the user can interact with it using gestures and voice commands. As a result, the most popular functions of the 2GIS application on iOS have become available to the blind: for example, you can find a place, find out the latest information about it, call the contact number, build a route, understand which transport goes and at which stop to leave.
| | We are improving technologies for different active audiences - and have significantly improved the application so that people with visual impairments find it easier and more comfortable to find the necessary places and organizations and get to them, "said Alexander Syrkov, head of product development for 2GIS users. | |
According to him, previously the most advanced solutions for blind users were foreign mapping services, but now 2GIS can fully replace them in this area - now on iOS, in the future - on phones with Android.
You can enable the VoiceOver function in the iPhone settings in the "Universal Access" menu. Additionally, nothing needs to be turned on in the 2GIS settings - the service is ready to work in the voice interface. An updated version of the VoiceOver-enabled 2GIS is already available in the App Store.
Use in the "Intercessor" service
The Russian mobile service "Intercession" began to use 2GIS technologies to help children in an emergency - maps are already integrated into the application and are available to users. This was announced by 2GIS on February 28, 2024. Read more here.
DashBoard mode support in Apple CarPlay
2GIS supported the mode DashBoard Apple in CarPlay - now on navigator the multimedia screen car you can run simultaneously with other applications, for example, music or calendar. A map with the user's route will take up half the screen. The company 2GIS announced this on February 7, 2024.
| | GIS appeared on CarPlay five years ago as the first among Russian navigators and for February 2024 remains the only one among them, available on CarPlay and Android Auto for free and without any subscriptions - the audience of the service on these platforms is growing, and many users asked us to support the widget mode, which we did, "said Sergey Kirillov, product manager of transport in 2GIS. | |
Previously, 2GIS worked on CarPlay in a car approximately like on a phone - when launched, the navigator occupied the entire screen. Now the owners of cars with Apple CarPlay have a choice - they can run 2GIS on the entire multimedia screen or half.
The main screen will be divided into several widgets: a menu with time display and running applications, a large widget with a map, a widget with prompts and a player window. From the main screen, you can build a Home or To Work route in one click - this works if the user has specified addresses in the Favorites section of the application.
The 2GIS widget on CarPlay can be used in navigation mode without a route - when the user does not indicate the end point of the trip, but the enabled navigator keeps up to date with the situation on the city roads: shows traffic jams, helps to monitor speed, reports traffic cameras.
In 2023, 2GIS supported a similar mode of operation of the navigator on cars with Android Auto.
Add information on the cost of electric filling stations
2GIS detailed information about electric vehicle charging stations on the map - in particular, the geoservice began to show the cost of charging, connector types and power, and in the near future it will begin to display availability in real time: users will be able to see where there are free seats right now, and where there is no point in going - everything is busy. The company announced this on January 29, 2024.
The number of electric stations is rapidly increasing following the increase in the number of electric vehicles themselves. Over the past year, there have been twice as many such points in Russia and reached 3225. 2GIS displays the official public stations that any owner of an electric car or rechargeable hybrid can use.
Now in the cards of such stations in the 2GIS are displayed:
- type of connector (there are many of them - you can choose the appropriate one) and their number at the station,
- power (affects charging speed),
- cost per kW.
You can find electric vehicle charging stations in the 2GIS search or by selecting the appropriate layer from the menu. Points are highlighted on the map, when approaching, you can see the main characteristics of each station.
| | Over the past year, our users have become three times more likely to look for electric vehicle charging stations - now they can easily find on the map all the relevant information about such places, "said Alexander Syrkov, head of products for 2GIS users. - We try to make the product useful for different audiences, and it is quite obvious that the audience of electric vehicle drivers will actively grow in the coming years. | |
According to the 2GIS, in January 2024, there are publicly available electric stations in more than 500 cities and settlements of Russia.
2023
The ability to choose a route with a detour of places with poor GPS
2GIS has supplemented the capabilities of the navigator - now you can choose a route with a detour of places where there are difficulties with the correct determination of the geoposition. This option is enabled in the settings and is already available in mobile applications for iOS and Android. This was announced by 2GIS on December 25, 2023.
To turn on the filter, you need to click on the "Avoid zone with poor GPS" button, which will appear on the route construction screen. The route will be built where the signal is better.
| | The filter will help you build convenient routes where, first of all, there are difficulties with determining the location, for example, in the center. The new function will be useful for those who need to drive from one end of the city to the other, or those whose usual route lies through the center, and, of course, for couriers or taxi drivers, - said the product manager Transport in 2GIS Sergey Kirillov. | |
The filter is available in Navigator mode when building routes. The navigator takes into account the filter settings when leaving the route, when rebuilding it, or when proposing a route, it is better.
This feature already works on iOS and Android platforms - just update the application to the latest version.
500 realistic buildings and updated navigator
On November 23, 2023, 2GIS presented updated geoservice capabilities: on the maps you can now see friends, more than 500 realistic 3D models of buildings, drive a car along three-dimensional road junctions and build a route to the entrance or the desired parking lot.
As reported, 2GIS began to show friends on the map - in the geoservice you can now exchange location with family and friends. This will allow you to see where friends gather, watch their movement, exchange reactions and stay in touch.
The function works in the mobile application 2GIS on iOS and Android and is still available only by invitation link. After mutual addition to friends in the 2GIS, users will be able to see where the friend is, spread emoji along the way to work, see which place the friend liked, or offer to meet when someone nearby. Friends on the Map is available to users for free and without any subscriptions.
{{quote 'author
= told Marina Konevskikh, product lead GIS' In 2023, we made the maps look like a real city, and now we have added more life, movement, tactility to them. In the 2GIS, you can see where your loved ones are.
Meet spontaneously if they are around. In one click, build a route to a friend or just find out where he is, how things are. Thanks to Friends on the Map, it's easier to stay in touch with family and friends. Only those allowed by the user will see the geoposition.}}
Friends service settings will be optimized and developed. Until the end of 2023, the application will be able to control its visibility - it will be possible to "hide" from a friend's card for a while or forever.
In order to enable Friends on the Map, you need to update the application to the latest version (or download it if it has not been installed) and follow a special link from a friend or 2GIS. It is not yet possible to connect the service without an invitation link. The function works after allowing tracking of the constant geoposition in the operating system settings. Friends on the map are already available in the latest version of the mobile app for iOS and Android.
According to the 2GIS, 93% of drivers build routes to buildings and already on the spot solve the problem of choosing the right parking or the right entrance. 2GIS knows all the entrances and parking lots - and now the navigator has learned to benefit from this: already at the start of the route, he will offer the driver the best way to the right place and parking. If you need to get to a residential building, it will tell you the way to the entrance or the nearest parking lots, if to commercial buildings - it will offer to choose parking nearby. The user will be able to see which parking lots are within a radius of 300 m from the point - paid, free, public, for customers or, for example, only for residents of the business center.
These navigator capabilities are already available in mobile applications 2GIS for iOS and Android - in all cities where the service is present.
2GIS launched the next generation maps and continues to develop them, introduced realistic buildings and parks in the summer, and 3D road junctions, bridges and tunnels in the fall. The number of detailed 3D models of buildings on maps is constantly growing - as of November 2023, there are already more than 500 in 40 cities of the country.
3D buildings can be approached and viewed from different angles. Depending on the time of day, the display mode of realistic models changes: as in a real city, at night they look different than during the day. Such maps create an immersive effect, help you navigate better, are visual and simply beautiful.
| | Thanks to compact 3D models, we recreate architectural ensembles and surrounding spaces. In addition to buildings, we made parks and courtyards realistic - we "planted" more than 9.5 million trees and shrubs on the maps. In the summer they were green, in the fall they turned yellow, and very soon they will be sprinkled with snow - such a dive into the urban landscape will make orienteering in the city more convenient. told Dmitry Demchenko, head of the technological department 2GIS | |
In addition to iconic buildings and attractions on the maps 2GIS there are also models of new buildings in a realistic 3D format. Users can see how the residential complex will look in detail at the initial stage of construction, understand what is nearby and how the courtyard will be ennobled.
On 2GIS maps in navigator mode, you can see realistic roads - with three-dimensional bridges, tunnels, transport interchanges, and very soon - with lane marking - first on the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg, and later in other cities of Russia. In the near future, lane navigation will also appear - the navigator will help users navigate in advance, where and where it is better to rebuild so as not to miss the desired turn.
3D models of buildings are available in mobile applications 2GIS for iOS and Android and on the company's website. Realistic 3D models are shown online when the Internet is available.
Add 3D interchanges, bridges and tunnels
Three-dimensional interchanges, bridges and tunnels appeared on 2GIS maps. The developer of the service announced this on October 13, 2023.
After the release of immersive buildings and parks, detailed roads appeared on geoservice maps: road junctions, bridges and tunnels are shown in a realistic form. The roads in the application have become more informative - this will help you better navigate in navigator mode.
It is in navigator mode that you can see a detailed display of the roadway - bridges, tunnels and the height of road junctions are now shown on maps. Elevation changes are best seen at difficult interchanges. Now one look at the map is enough to understand the location and direction of the roads. This feature is already available in test mode in the mobile application 2GIS on, and from Android October 16, 2023 - on. iOS The function works in 12 cities: in,,, To Moscow,, St. Petersburg,, Novosibirsk,, Yekaterinburg,,, and Kazan. Nizhny Novgorod Krasnodar Sochi To Samara Saratov Irkutsk To Vologda You can enable realistic roads in the navigator settings.
{{quote 'We are continuously improving the geoservice - we have launched three-dimensional road models and will be happy to receive feedback from users in order to use our service even more convenient. Work on the details of the maps continues, and in the near future the roads will become even more realistic - like behind the windshield of a car, - comments Maxim Berezkin, head of the transport and navigation product in 2GIS. }}
Gradually, such roads will appear on the maps of other cities. Very soon, the actual width and markings will be displayed on them - this will allow you to see in which lanes a traffic jam has formed, where it is better to make a U-turn or park the car.
The size of downloaded city maps will not increase. Three-dimensional roads will be shown when the function is turned on in the navigator settings offline, provided that the city is downloaded and online, if the Internet is available . 2GIS maps are available on the 2gis.ru website, as well as in the mobile application for iOS and Android.
Improving the display of geoposition on iOS in Moscow
The mobile 2GIS has learned to more accurately determine the user's location on the city map - by analyzing more data from, and satellites GPS GLONASS. BeiDou Now the changes are most noticeable in the version for geoservice - iOS and especially where there are GPS failures, for example, in the center. The Moscow company 2GIS announced this on October 6, 2023.
The application receives from the phone (from the services built into the operating system that receive satellite signals) a large set of geodots - user locations according to various satellites: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou. Algorithms 2GIS analyze this set and, taking into account the direction of movement of the user, show its geoposition - as a rule, it is tied to a road, bike path or pedestrian sidewalk (path in the park), depending on how the user moves. If earlier algorithms analyzed all geodots received from satellites with a radius of 50 m from the user, now the radius has been expanded to 150 m. This has significantly increased the amount of analyzed data and led to a more accurate determination of the geoposition. In addition, you can enable wi-fi on your phone - this will expand the capabilities of the operating system to specify the location of the device.
| | The updated logic for determining geoposition already works in 2GIS on iOS - on any iPhone where there is an up-to-date version of the mobile application. This helps to navigate routes, for example, in the center of Moscow, "said Maxim Berezkin, product lead of transport in 2GIS. | |
Similar changes are already available in the 2GIS version for, Android which can be downloaded from the official apk.2gis.ru website or in six online stores Android applications. However operating system , this location is determined differently than on iOS, so changes in the geoservice may not be so noticeable. However, the 2GIS is developing and testing new algorithms based on, neuronets which will soon complement existing capabilities and significantly improve the definition of geoposition on Android devices.
The updated location logic is already available in current 2GIS versions for iOS and Android.
Ability to build routes inside buildings
2GIS began building routes inside the buildings and released a large update to the navigator. This was announced on September 5, 2023 by representatives of the 2GIS.
As reported, as of September 2023, this works in 2,200 shopping centers in Russia - where there are floor plans on 2GIS maps. In addition, the navigator began to show data that will help you quickly choose a route on public transport, on foot, on a scooter and bicycle.
Previously, cards were able to bring to the entrance to the shopping center, and then they showed the direction in which direction to go in order to get to the desired point inside the shopping center. Now 2GIS users will see a dotted line that will draw on all floors of the shopping center to a specific store, tell you climbs and descents to other floors by elevator, escalator or stairs. The navigator inside the building works differently than on the street - since the exact location in the premises has not yet been determined, 2GIS creates a static route diagram with which it is easier for the user to navigate.
| | The 2GIS has data on passages in the shopping center, stairs, escalators, elevators, the location of shops and boutiques, we have released an update for a pedestrian navigator, which allows you to build routes inside buildings in the absence of an accurate geoposition of the user. In the near future, it will be possible to build routes in 2GIS at airports, train stations and business centers. told Andrey Miroshnikov, product manager 2GIS | |
The user chose a boutique in the shopping center and built a route to it in the 2GIS - a dotted line on the map of the building in detail will show how to go. Where and where to turn, where and how to move to another floor - on the elevator or on the escalator. You can switch between the floors of the shopping center on the map using the buttons on the left side of the screen. So far, not all objects inside buildings are supported by algorithms, so in some cases routes (for example, to shopping islands) can be built in the old way - a straight line. These cases will be finalized in the next updates.
As of September 2023, you can build routes inside buildings in all major city shopping centers, floor maps of which already exist in 2GIS - there are more than 2,200 such shopping centers in Russia. This feature is already available in mobile versions of 2GIS for Android and iOS.
2GIS has launched an updated route build screen. Those who move around the city not on a personal or rented car have the most information on the route. Here is the length of climbs and descents, and calories spent, and the presence of dirt roads or bike lanes and much more. The most important information is now shown immediately on the main route screen and helps you choose the best path.
When choosing routes on public transport, you can now see how many walking segments and transfers have to be overcome, which exit from the metro is better to go to. And the schedule of routes will help to understand whether you need to rush to a stop or you can go without a rush. The navigator will warn you about the first and last flights on the routes, and also can tell you when to exit.
Launch of car sharing aggregator
In January 2023, 2GIS launched a car sharing aggregator. On the map, you can select a car available for rent and build a route to it.
On the map "2GIS" you can find any car-sharing car and get full information about the car: by clicking on the icon, the application will show the model and the fuel level in the tank, for electric cars - the battery charge. Information on rental tariffs is provided by car sharing services, and places where cars are parked are updated once a minute. This data will help you navigate which car is better to choose, according to the service developers.
Directly from the "2GIS" you can go to the car sharing application to book a suitable car. Also in the "2GIS" you can build the shortest route on any type of transport or on foot.
| | The goal of 2GIS is to help people choose the really best way to get there. In large cities, car sharing has become a wonderful alternative to taxis, public transport and walking. So that our users can compare all the options, we have launched a car sharing aggregator that shows cars of different services and allows you to choose the appropriate distance, cost, fuel level, "said Andrei Miroshnikov, product manager of transport at 2GIS. | |
By January 23, 2023, cars "" and "" are available on Sitidraiva the 2GIS maps. Delimobile According to Andrei Miroshnikov, the company is ready to connect new car sharing operators, "so that users can choose in any city where this type of transport is developed."
The choice of car sharing is available in the new version of the 2GIS application for Android in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In addition, maps and reference data "2GIS" appeared in the mobile applications "Citidriva" and "Delimobile" for smartphones on iOS and Android.[1][2]

Adding Jurent scooters to the map
On June 2, 2022, it became known that mobile application "" 2GIS now shows on the maps Russian cities scooters of the service "" Jurent- before any of them you can build a route to book and start a trip.
Thanks to integration with the Yurent electric scooter rental service, information about scooters appeared on 2GIS maps. To see it in the 2GIS, you need to click on the button in the upper left corner of the screen and select the desired layer.
The card of each scooter contains information about the cost of its lease, battery charge, time and duration of the trip to full discharge. This data will help you choose a scooter that will last for a long trip. And right from the 2GIS you can go to the Jurent application to book a suitable scooter.
2GIS in real time shows the location, charge and booking status of scooters on the map. The scooter will wait at the start of the trip if you book it in advance. And in order to get to the start point faster 2GIS it will help to build the shortest route on any type of transport or on foot.
| | "Electric scooters are not just for rest. In cities, this is a full-fledged mode of transport that will help you get to the nearest stop during rush hour, and in the evening and at the weekend - spend time on a walk. With the development of cycling infrastructure in cities, scooters will become even more in demand, "- says 2GIS transport integration manager Lev Zabababko. | |
| | "The sharing of electric scooters is a rapidly growing type of urban transport in demand. We strive to give our users more opportunities to rent scooters in their usual application. Together with the 2GIS geoservice, we will be able to make it even more convenient for people to travel around the city on electric scooters, and the cities themselves are more accessible, "- says Yurent product director Dmitry Sushkevich. | |
The layer with scooters is available in the current version of the mobile applications "2GIS" for Android and iOS in 74 cities of Russia, where the "Jurent" service works[3]

Launch a navigator with geotechnology available for other applications
On November 18, 2021, it became known that the company GIS " presented the next version of the navigator. It has two main changes - data and interface. In addition, the developers talked about the geotechnology of GIS, "which appear in other well-known services.
Everything important in navigation takes place on the map: maneuvers, cameras, traffic jams and landmarks. Now more useful accents will be on the map, and it is allocated 20% more space on the screen. The main screen of the navigator focuses on the data required when driving - stripe signs that help at interchanges, cameras and parking lots. A "thermometer" appeared with the progress of the route and the display of traffic jams on the way. An important part of the navigator is a mini-map with an overview of the entire route, which can be included with one touch. By taping into a mini-card, you can evaluate the entire trip and traffic jams, adjust the route.
| | "A mini-map in the corner of the screen is a familiar story for the game world. The player looks at it without distraction from the game, and understands that he is waiting for him next - where the important points are, what should be paid more attention, and what should be avoided. So here: the main screen gives everything you need to quickly respond to current information. And the mini-map, the "thermometer" and the overview of the route give a feeling of greater confidence on the road, show what will happen in a few minutes of the trip, in a few kilometers. All this makes the trip more predictable and safe, "- told the product manager of "2Gis" Alexander Syrkov. | |
It is important for drivers to know in advance which lane to take before the maneuver. Therefore, for the release of the navigator "2 GIS" collected and updated data on road markings and lane signs. To do this, service specialists have collected almost 100% of the data on the roads of Moscow, even in areas where there are no warning signs, and drivers have to navigate the road markings. To collect information about stripe signs in GIS, "video from recorders was used. Hints with future maneuvers began to occupy a more noticeable place on the main screen of the application - they can be seen right on the route.
Another "2 GIS" added information about speeding cameras, parking violations, driving behind the stop line or public transport lane. Also in the navigator there is information about cameras for freight transport and dummies.
| | "In my opinion, as of mid-November 2021, GIS has a fairly high surface of road cameras in Russia. The navigator shows about 50 thousand cameras on the territory of the 2Gis coverage in Russia, of which more than 9 thousand are in Moscow, Moscow region, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, "- told Elena Tolkacheva, Director of the Department of Reference and Cartographic Production "2Gis." | |
GIS "warns of speed cameras with an icon above the speedometer in the corner of the screen. Here is indicated not only the current restriction, but also the location of the camera relative to the flow - in front or behind the user's car.
In GIS "there was detailed information about parking. Parking areas are marked in an additional layer on the map and are available in navigator mode, one touch when they are especially needed. The app will show all parking along the route and near the end point of the route, and will also share important details: free or paid with a free interval, public or with special access, whether there are places for people with disabilities.
As of November 18, 2021, such data were collected for 15 large cities of Russia - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Krasnoyarsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Perm, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Ufa and Chelyabinsk. It is planned that the information will be supplemented - parking data will appear in other cities.
GIS "updated the algorithm that calculates the travel time. According to the company, tests have shown that now it is determined more than 20% more accurately than before.
In the coming months, the navigator will work in beta mode. To test additional features, just update the application, go to the navigator settings in the GIS of application "and click on the" Enable new navigator "button.
Data and algorithms are already available in the SDK. Using tools for developers of geotechnology, GIS "can be used in other mobile applications. For example, some services from the Sberbank ecosystem, according to the company, are switching to GIS geotechnology. "
Virtual Assistants Salute"" already answer user questions related to geoscenaries. For example, "Sber," "Athena" or "Joy" can suggest what traffic jams in the city, how much to go to work or another address. If necessary, the assistant can build a route and open the GIS application. "
| | "And if you ask the assistant to write down for a haircut or book a table in a restaurant, then the assistant will look for companies at GIS upon request, - says Dmitry Samozhkin, director of functional scenarios for virtual assistants "Salyut," SberDevices. | |
Availability in the Sberbank Online application for iOS
Sberbank and ecosystem services are switching to 2GIS geotechnology. The bank announced this on July 27, 2021. Read more here.

Launch of the safety rating of establishments during COVID-19
Sberbank on December 24, 2020 announced that, together with 2GIS (part of the Sberbank ecosystem), the Security Rating project is being launched - a user rating of the safety of public institutions in terms of combating the spread of COVID-19. It will show where security measures are best followed.
The rating of places will be formed based on the reviews of those visitors who visited them. They will be able to assess the implementation of safety measures by employees of institutions: the presence of antiseptics, the use of masks, and the observance of social distance.
Users can evaluate cafes, restaurants, hairdressers and beauty salons by safety parameters. Shops, fitness centers, museums, theaters and other places where it is important to comply with preventive measures will gradually be added. coronavirus
Users will be able to rate the institution in its card on the 2gis.ru - in the form of creating a review. And visitors who made a purchase at the institution and paid for it with a Sberbank card can receive a push notification to SberBank Online and write a verified review - the fact of the transaction will be confirmation that the author of the recall actually purchased the product or service.
Companies with a high rating will be marked with a special badge "It's safe here" in the online version of the 2GIS. In the future, the rating will appear in mobile applications 2GIS for iOS and Android.
| | From the very beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Sberbank has been developing and implementing technological solutions that help people in this situation. Our project is not designed to control how safety measures are observed or not observed, but so that each of us can take care of our own health, the health of our loved ones, acquaintances and strangers. After all, only by joint efforts we will be able to stop the spread of COVID-19. We hope that the "Security Rating" will make a positive contribution to this struggle, - Vladislav Kreinin, Senior Vice President, Director of the Marketing and Communications Department of Sberbank. | |
| | The "safety rating" gives a new section of information for choosing the best places in the city. It is important for us that all the information in the 2GIS is the most accurate and reliable, so confirming the user's assessment with a transaction in Sberbank is a key element of the project. Thanks to him, we know for sure that a person visited the institution and can evaluate it. This is the first release in which the synergistic effect of Sberbank's 2GIS and products is publicly manifested. We still have many tasks ahead that will benefit the audience and realize the potential that could not be done without the data of both companies - Anton Spiridonov, CTO 2GIS. | |
Launch of a cargo navigator in 30 regions of Russia
On December 16, 2020, 2GIS announced the launch of a free cargo navigator for 99 cities and more than 4,500 settlements in 30 regions of Russia. Thus, the service has become the largest free cartographic service in Russia with navigation for trucks, the company said in a press release.
In addition to Moscow and the Moscow region, free cargo navigation "2GIS" is available in 10 million-plus cities: Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Krasnoyarsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Perm, Samara, Chelyabinsk and Ufa. By December 2020, the monthly audience of the cargo navigator reached 40 thousand users. In early 2021, the function will be launched in St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Rostov-on-Don and Voronezh.
"2GIS" detailed information about logistics sites in cities with a population of one million: it displayed the addresses of buildings, simplifying navigation in large storage areas. In addition, the cargo navigator is already building routes between the regions of Russia, taking into account restrictions on freight transport and reflects the infrastructure along federal highways. To do this, the specialists of "2GIS" collected information about cafes, hotels, gas stations, service stations, tire assembly workshops and places of rest. On the map and in the directory "2GIS" will also appear information about parking for freight transport, their operating mode, coverage of parking areas and the presence of security. Information on roadside infrastructure is available to all users of the service: both drivers of freight transport and all motorists on long-distance trips.
The user of cargo navigation "2GIS" can in the application adjust the individual parameters of the car and cargo, such as the dimensions and weight of the car, the load on the axle. The service selects optimal routes without taking into account the streets where the passage of trucks is prohibited.
In "2GIS" reported that to launch the cargo navigator, the service cars drove more than 100 thousand kilometers to federal highways and collected a large array of data, including adding over 24 thousand new objects along the highways.
Launch of a navigator for trucks in Moscow and the Moscow region
In 2GIS, it became possible to build routes for trucks, taking into account the restrictions on the passage of freight transport on the territory of all administrative districts of Moscow and large cities of the Moscow region. This was reported on August 24, 2020 by 2GIS.
The cargo navigator 2GIS allows you to build routes for freight transport taking into account the allowed maximum mass and dimensions of cars and the specifics of the cargo. The routes built by the navigator do not include streets that have official bans on freight traffic.
The navigator for freight transport 2GIS takes into account the cargo frame of nine administrative districts of Moscow, the restrictions indicated by road signs in the remaining three administrative districts of the capital, and all the current restrictions in 64 urban districts of the Moscow region. Algorithms 2GIS take into account the construction of routes inside the zones of the signs "The movement of trucks is prohibited" and offer entrances and exits from the zones through the nearest intersection according to traffic rules.
To collect a full base of restrictions, 2GIS drivers traveled 16 thousand kilometers of roads in Moscow and the Moscow Region collected information about 7905 road signs on the streets of Moscow and in 2763 settlements of the Moscow Region, blocked 3427 kilometers of roads in the navigator for the passage of trucks. Using the sign recognition technology from DVRs, the restrictions were automatically mapped. At the final stage, cartographers 2GIS processed controversial cases and inconsistencies to make the map even more accurate.
The option will help drivers of freight transport to build optimal routes in the navigator 2GIS in full accordance with the rules of the road, and logistics - to analyze the road situation along the route of commercial trucks in the online version of the application.
To enable the option, you need to click "Settings" → "Navigator" → "Cargo navigation" and before the trip specify the dimensions of the car and the features of the cargo.
The geography of the cargo navigator will be expanded. On August 24, it is available in the online and mobile version of 2GIS for iOS and Android.
Integration into the ProPlastic mobile application
On May 14, 2020, it became known that with the support of the company SIBUR , "" was developed and released mobile application , which in Pro-plastic early May became available for free to all users and. Android iOS More. here
Coverage of more than 390 cities
According to the company 2GIS as of January 2020, reference cards 2GIS work in more than 390 cities, and their monthly audience exceeded 50 million users. The service processes more than 2.2 million search queries every day.
All versions of the 2GIS, as well as updates to them, are free for users. The main source of income of the company "2GIS" is the sale of advertising places on the map and in the directory (banner, place in the list, additional text).
2011: Coverage of more than 130 cities
Well known to regional users, but little-known in Moscow, the 2GIS system was developed in Novosibirsk. According to September 2011, it is a mapping service for more than 130 cities, provided free of charge in three versions: online, desktop (only for Windows) and mobile (only for Android, Symbian, iOS and Windows Mobile).
Its fundamental difference from existing cartographic systems in "2GIS" is called the independently supported database of addresses of companies and organizations superimposed on their own cartography, which provides the product with a "special quality."
Among other competitive advantages, "2GIS" calls the operation of their applications in an "honest offline," that is, the ability to search the map without accessing the Web at all. According to the developers, this property may be valuable for those who like to save traffic and battery power on mobile devices.
