Yandex Maps has expanded the capabilities of "Razgovorchiki". Now drivers can leave messages not only about the situation on the roads, but also directly at gas stations, the company said.
The new function allows sharing up-to-date information about a specific gas station. Drivers can report on queues, inform about the availability or absence of fuel, and warn other motorists about the current situation.
Comments are linked to a specific gas station and are stored for three hours. After this, messages are automatically deleted. This approach allows obtaining information about the current situation, rather than what happened at the gas station several days ago.
Previously, "Razgovorchiki" in Yandex Maps and Navigator were primarily used to exchange information about road conditions – for example, about accidents, traffic jams, and other events along the route.
