How to update maps on navigator "Navitel": instructions for beginners

This article will discuss how to update the maps on Navitel Navigator. This problem often worries users of this gadget. Software "Navitel" is used on the majority of navigators. The cards themselves are updated regularly, and therefore it makes no sense to use outdated content. The article will discuss in detail 3 methods for performing the update operation.

Necessary equipment

Before you begin to describe the methods themselves, you need to discuss all the necessary tools that can be useful during the work. Update the map to "Navitel" you can not do without the Internet. It is desirable, of course, to use high-speed and unlimited connection, since during the download, incoming traffic can exceed 500 megabytes. The type of connection to the Internet depends on the chosen method of updating (which one is suitable for you, you will learn further). In some cases, you may need a usb cable (it is shipped with the device) and, accordingly, the PC itself (and the drivers installed on it). Next, you will learn how to update the maps on the navigator "Navitel".

The first method

In this way, we need a PC, Internet, USB cable and the created account on the official website of Navitel. The essence of the method is as follows: you go to the portal of the Navitel program, download the necessary maps (if necessary, and software) and upload them to your device. And now let's take a closer look.

• Create an account. The registration process itself consists of the usual and already standard stages. You need to fill in all the fields by entering your email, name and desired login. Immediately after creating the account, you should go to the "personal cabinet" and add a new device there.
• In the "My devices" panel there will be an "update" column, where there should be a link "available updates".
• Based on the installed version of the program "Navitel", you need to pick up the necessary map. If the utility is not enough fresh, then the content will not be determined.
• Once you decide on the appropriate version, you need to save to your computer an archive of .zip or .nm3 files.
• After you have fully downloaded all the necessary files, connect your navigator to your PC via a usb cable. If this operation is performed for the first time, then it will take some time to install the necessary drivers (after which it will be necessary to reboot the PC).
• The connection must be made in removable media mode (USB Flash Drive / MassStorage).
• Immediately after discovering the device, go to the NavitelContent / Maps directory and delete all files from this folder. And to replace them, copy the previously downloaded archive.
• Then disconnect the navigator from the PC and turn on the Navitel program. If the utility has not detected new maps, then manually specify their directory. To do this, go to Menu - Settings - Other maps - Add atlas.

2nd method

Previously, you learned how to update maps on Navitel Navigator manually. But you can also use specially created automatic means. In this method, you will need all the same components as in the previous method. Plus the installed program Navitel Navigator Updater. You can download it on the official portal of Navitel. But let's deal with everything in order.

• Download Navitel Navigator Updater onto your computer and install it. Installation takes place in a standard form.
• Run the newly installed program. When you first turn on, you will search for software updates. It is recommended to install a new version of the program.
• Connect the navigator and PC via USB cable. Connection mode - removable media.
• When you start a completely updated program Navitel Navigator Updater, it immediately detects your device. NNU will independently search for updated maps on the Internet. If any are present, you will be asked to make a replacement. Follow the instructions on the screen and click "Next".
• If you do not want to update the "Navitel" program on your navigator, then check the box "Do not update the application".
• After all the performed actions, interrupt the connection.

The third method

The last method, which we will consider today, is the most unpopular. Its essence is to use a direct connection to the Internet through the device itself. Unpopularity of it is justified by two important factors. First, most navigators do not support a direct Internet connection. Secondly, the speed of the process is rather small. Plus, it's worth remembering that the total weight of cards can exceed 300 megabytes. And since most mobile operators severely restrict the traffic of using the Internet, such an operation can be costly to you. But if you still decide to use this method, then use the following instruction.

• Open the program "Navitel" and go to the menu.
• Here you need to go to the "My Navitel" folder, and then to "My products".
• After clicking on the corresponding card, the program will prompt you to update (if available). Agree with this proposal by clicking on the screen "Ok".

Possible problems

Now you already know how to update the maps on the navigator "Navitel" in three different ways. But not always everything happens smoothly. Here I propose to discuss possible problems. Some complain that the Navitel Navigator Updater program refuses to update their software and maps. Typically, the problem is the lack of an activation file. The solution to this issue is simple - to buy a licensed version of the program. Also it is worth checking if you have an internet connection on your PC. Sometimes new cards can not be installed because of the old version of the software. In these cases, you just need to update Navitel.

Conclusion

The question of how to update Navitel maps in the navigator, in recent times has become very popular. Owners of devices often do not even know about the possibility of replacing the primary content. In addition to maps, you must always install the latest software versions. This operation is performed using the same methods that were described in the article. By the way, it's worth noting that the weight of the software is much smaller than the cards. Therefore, the method of updating via the mobile Internet is acceptable here.
