A very clever interactive route planner has been devised by a group
in Holland called Route 66 Geographic Information Systems. To use
it one types in a starting point and destination, and ... voila! ... you
get a wonderful road map telling you how to get there from here.
That is ... if you know how to spell the names of your starting
points and destinations according to the way they are spelled in the
program.
Which brings us to why this page was created. Transliteration conventions
are tough to establish, and are that much more difficult to
standardize for city names in Ukraine because so many maps
still use Russian city names. They are further complicated by the
question of which language to use for the transliteration. It would appear
in this case that the Route 66 programmers used Russian city names
as their source and transliterated them into Dutch. For example, today's
English transliteration of "Kyiv" which was formerly "Kiev" is
shown on the Route 66 map as "Kijev".
So, we thought it would be useful for travelers who wanted to sample
the Route 66 planner to have a data base of Ukrainian city names as
they are spelled in the program. The planner is available for testing at
two locations that we were able to find. One is at the Shell Company
Homepage, and the other is found at the homepage of the authors of the
program.

Shell's Route 66 planner will yield:
Road map
total distance in kilometers
expected travel time
total fuel consumption (liters)
expected fuel cost
locations of Shell gas stations

The Route 66 planner page will yield:
Road map
total distance in kilometers
choice between shortest or fastest route
expected travel time
total fuel consumption (liters)
fully detailed, step-by-step road plan

Use the names listed below in either of the two sources. The chart
does not have all the city names of Ukraine, and it may not
have all the cities on the Route 66 maps. If you happen to find one
that we missed, please let us know.
Link to either planner after selecting your city names in the charts
below.
