Allow the app to get your location data

Yandex Navigator can't work correctly if it doesn't receive geolocation information. Allow access to this data in your device settings.

Make sure you a GPS signal is available

Hold your device under the windshield of your car. Barriers like a car's roof, thick foliage, or multi-story buildings will reduce the quality of the GPS signal and can block it completely.

Sometimes, device issues may hinder accurate geolocation. Try the following:

• Close Yandex Navigator. It's not enough to minimize the app by tapping Back or Home. You need to open the view that shows you all the running apps and swipe the Navigator window.
• Disable and re-enable Wi-Fi.
• Turn on “Airplane mode” for 15–20 seconds, then turn it off.
• Restart your smartphone or tablet.
