Key update: Get the most out of your bike rides with Yandex.Maps!
Make your bike rides safe and enjoyable with the new update. With the new "Bike route" feature, the app will plot directions via bike paths, parks, embankments, and quiet streets - main roads and busy streets will only be included in your route as a last resort.
Enjoy improved features for other modes of transportation:
• Plan car trips with multiple stops. For example, if you need to stop off at the shop or drop by a friend’s house on the way home from work, you can do this without creating separate routes. Just get directions home as usual, then open the address panel at the top of the app and add new stops to your route.
• Choose your preferred mode of public transport when getting directions. For example, if you don’t want to use the metro or take a commuter train, you can indicate that you wish to travel by bus, trolleybus, or tram instead.
• Get to your stop on time by selecting from a list of arrival and departure times when getting directions for public transport.
