Going to Ukraine
I am going to spend my vacation in Ukraine, and will go there for two weeks starting from this Thursday, 19.6.
I am going by car, route will be 2000km and will take 2 days driving in each direction. Here are 2 parts of the route.
First part is Riga - Lithuania - Poland. 845km. Plus time lost on Ukrainian border and another 140km in Ukraine to the hotel in Lutsk. I had to plan it in Google Maps. Actual navigation will be with TomTom 6.02 on Nokia N82 (Garmin XT mobile maps as backup).
2nd day will be only 900km. This one was planned in Garmin mapsource. Actual navigation will be by Garmin Mobile XT. (Nokia Maps 2.0 as backup).
There are two options for this day - going through Vinnitsa or going through Zhitomir. Both are same distance and I am trying to obtain more feedback in the excellent (russian speaking) community of autotravellers at AutoUA.
Apart from mentioned programs I still have maps of Ukraine and Ukraine largest cities in YandexMaps cache, SmartcomGPS and of course there is Google Maps mobile and MGMaps, but those require GPRS, which I will only connect when I arrived in Kherson and will buy local SIM card with unlimited GPRS.

šo attālumu var veikt arī 1 dienā. mēs ar auto braucām uz slovākiju un to ir iespējams izdarīt apmēram 20-22 stundu laikā ar regulārām pauzēm
ReplyDeleteMan masina bus vecaki un berns. Vini izvelejas avtiegloto rezimu.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I would go through Vinnitsa. Zithomer is a dusty military town. Vinnitsa is beautiful. The Bug river runs through Vinnitsa. There are sidewalk cafes. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeletePeople do speak Russian in Vinnitsa!
I have many friends there. If you need to touch base with anyone let me know
It's a pity that we are going to fly across Ukraine in one day, and will only stop by Black Sea. Maybe we will see something interesting in Lutsk though.
