New maps are already available in the application for iOS and Android; the update will appear in the web version of the service later
The Yandex team announced the launch of updating the functionality of maps in the branded service «Yandex Travel». Now, when viewing a hotel card, a traveler will see places nearby: city attractions, restaurants and cafes, entertainment options, as well as hotels around. This will make choosing a hotel more convenient.
After booking a room in the «My trip» A city map will be available on which you can quickly find a place for breakfast or not miss iconic places.
The update is based on technologies and data from Yandex Maps. If you select a place of interest on the map, expanded information with photos, operating hours and ratings will now open. Travelers will be able to find out approximately how long it takes to get from the hotel to popular places in the city — on foot, by public transport and by car. To quickly find your way around and find the right point, you can view street panoramas from the cafe card or attraction card.
