The 2GIS service has added more than 12.4 thousand public Wi-Fi hotspots in 17 Russian cities to its maps. The innovation will help users stay connected in case of problems with mobile communications.
You can find access points by simply entering the queries "Wi-Fi hotspots" or "wifi" in the 2GIS search. Access to this information is available both in mobile applications for Android and iOS, and on the 2gis.ru website.
2GIS applications can work in offline mode, but for this you need to download the map of the desired city in advance. Searching for Wi-Fi hotspots is also available without an internet connection.
Currently, the service includes access points in cities such as Moscow, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Perm, Rostov-on-Don, Volgograd, Naberezhnye Chelny, Almetyevsk, Tolyatti, Tyumen, Ulyanovsk, Saratov, Tambov, Tula, Cheboksary and Magnitogorsk. Expansion of geography is planned in the near future, including St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk.
Access points are located in convenient places: at public transport stops, in parks, libraries, cultural institutions, as well as in cafes and shopping centers. Information about them comes from local administrations, Internet providers and 2GIS specialists, who collect data based on open sources and messages from organizations.
