Yandex Uzbekistan has added three-dimensional color models of the sights of Tashkent, Bukhara, Samarkand, and Khiva to the Yandex Maps navigation application.

Yandex Uzbekistan explained that three-dimensional layouts of buildings and cultural monuments will help residents navigate better on the map, and tourists get to know landmarks better and look at them from different angles.

Architectural features, inscriptions, colors, and shadows are visible on all models, and texture is guessed. And if you turn on the night theme, the backlight will appear, as in an actual city at dusk. When planning a trip, you can virtually walk around all the sights in advance and come up with photo angles and walking routes.

To see the 3D model in the application, enter the name of the place in the search bar or find an object on the map and zoom in on it. To look at the three-dimensional model not from above, but from the side, you need to make a parallel movement with two fingers up the screen.
