The Yandex team has announced a significant update to its mapping service. "Yandex Maps" now offers a unique, highly detailed map for drivers in Turkey, making it the first such solution among global navigation systems.
The new map displays the streets of Istanbul with maximum accuracy. It includes lane markings, pedestrian crossings, safety islands, and other important elements that will help drivers navigate complex intersections more easily.
As part of the update, over 2,250 kilometers of roads have been digitized in Turkey's largest city. Detailed markings are available on the main streets of central Istanbul and on routes to two key airports: Istanbul (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW).
The update can be used in the "Yandex Maps" and "Navigator" applications. To see the new map, simply build a route and press the "Go" button.
The creation of a map with detailed markings was made possible by the technology of reprojecting panoramas. The tool overlays panoramas on satellite images, taking perspective into account.
