2GIS updated mobile version
2GIS made some significant changes in the beta version of the directory for mobile phones based on Android, Symbian and Windows Mobile. The updated version is now available for download.
The changes affected mainly the mapping objects. House numbers, street names are now visible and with decreasing scale of the map. The colors used are contrasting, making better color buildings, roads. At the request of users will increase the size of icons that indicate a public transportation stop. Small conversion performed in functionality - the "Find nearby" has been moved to the menu cards for easy access.
The good news for many users is to reduce the file size of database of cities, available for download or update directly from their mobile devices. On average, these files have become less a factor of 4. For example, if the uncompressed base in Novosibirsk for the mobile version of the site 2GIS takes 52 MB, then download it from the directory of the phone takes only 13.2 MB of internet traffic. Similarly, reduce the file size of all cities, in particular, of St. Petersburg - up to 23 MB (uncompressed for downloading to a PC - 85 MB), Krasnoyarsk - up to 8.9 MB (34 MB), Nizhny Novgorod - up to 11,6 MB (47 MB), Omsk - up to 8.6 MB (35 MB), etc.
Now when downloading directly to the phone user will receive the archive database of the city, which extract the program 2GIS already on the mobile device. At the same time on the site 2GIS lined uncompressed files database, where you can download them first on the PC and then installed on the mobile phone.
