Yandex Navigator in offline mode

Note. Offline mode only supports the Map view type.

To use the app in offline mode, download the map.

If you want to plot a route that passes through several regions, download the maps of all regions.

How it works

Offline route
Offline mode turns on automatically if your mobile signal disappears. Routes are built on the downloaded map without traffic, cameras, and road events, because the app receives this data from the web.
I lost my internet connection en route
If you lost your internet connection en route, navigation along the route will continue. Offline mode will turn on if you change your route. Yandex Navigator will build a new route and guide you based on the downloaded map. When your connection is restored, offline mode will turn off and the route will be rebuilt, taking into account the traffic conditions.

FAQ

How do I enable or toggle offline mode?
You don't need to manually enable offline mode: the app automatically switches to it when your device has no internet connection.
What should I do if my previously downloaded maps are missing?
This can happen if you change your SIM card, system language, or SD card. Reinstall the app or clear your search history:  (profile picture) → Settings → Clear search and route history. Then redownload the map.
What should I do if my offline maps no longer load after I remove the SD card?
Reinstall the app or clear your search history:  (profile picture) → Settings → Clear search and route history. Then redownload the map.
Why are my offline and online routes different?
When connected to the internet, Yandex Navigator assesses the traffic situation and plots the optimal route. This can't be done offline, so the routes may differ.
