2GIS: Your Smart City Guide – Enhanced Navigation and Social Features

2GIS has been updated with significant improvements to its city data and user experience. The redesigned app offers a streamlined search, enhanced city updates, and integrated favorites from 2gis.ru. This update makes finding what you need easier than ever.

Comprehensive City Information:

2GIS provides detailed information on businesses, services, and addresses. Locate local businesses, including opening hours and contact information, easily compare options based on reviews and photos, and quickly find essential services like hospitals and post offices.

Advanced Navigation:

Whether you're driving, walking, or using public transportation, 2GIS offers intelligent navigation.

• Driving: Enjoy real-time traffic updates, voice-guided directions, and automatic rerouting if you deviate from your planned path.
• Walking: Utilize detailed pedestrian routes with background navigation and voice guidance.
• Public Transit: Plan your journey using buses, metro, trains, cable cars, and even river trams. 2GIS seamlessly integrates walking segments into public transit routes, providing step-by-step walking directions.

Connect with Friends:

Share your location with friends and family in real time. Control your privacy settings to determine who can see your location. The new Chats for Friends feature allows for direct messaging within the app, keeping communication convenient. You'll also receive notifications when a friend is nearby (this feature can be disabled in settings).

Detailed Location Information:

2GIS goes beyond simple addresses. It pinpoints building entrances for over 2.5 million businesses, ensuring accurate directions for both driving and public transportation. Navigate easily within shopping malls using detailed indoor maps, locating shops, restaurants, ATMs, and more.

Wear OS Integration:

The 2GIS beta companion app for Wear OS smartwatches (Wear OS 3.0 and later) provides convenient on-the-go navigation. View maps, receive turn-by-turn directions, and get vibration alerts for approaching turns and stops, all directly from your wrist.

Join the Beta Program:

Be among the first to experience new features and help shape the future of 2GIS. The beta version works alongside the standard app, allowing you to switch between them seamlessly.
