Yandex Navigator

Yandex Navigator is a navigation app from Yandex. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate official yandexnavi:// links to open Yandex Navigator, build routes, search the map, and show a point.

Usage

There are two ways to use this library:

  • On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
  • Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.

Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.

Full Import
Convenient. Good for quick scripts.

Notes

This module only wraps actions and parameters documented by Yandex Navigator: build_route_on_map, map_search, and show_point_on_map.

Yandex documents route coordinates as separate latitude and longitude parameters. Intermediate route points are serialized as lat_via_0, lon_via_0, then lat_via_1, lon_via_1, and so on.

Yandex says sending coordinates, search queries, and other data to Navigator requires an access key. Signed URLs use the documented client and signature parameters; these helpers accept those optional fields, but the RSA signature must be generated outside Protocol Launcher with your Yandex access key.
