On the 21st of April 2012, a competition among Ukrainian navigation map manufacturers was held by a popular online travel guide Doroga.ua. All in all, 7 different navigation maps were represented in the championship: 5 in the general class and 2 out of competition.

Carte Blanche Ukraine team showed the best net time on a complicated route via 10 intermediate points in Kyiv and Chernihiv Regions, covering over 500 km. Taking into account the penalty time applied by the organizers, we won the second place, coming only 3 minutes behind the first one.

It stands to mention that the high result in the contest was achieved by our team by virtue of using high-quality, while very affordable, navigation solution:

• Prestigio GeoVision 5300 navigation device
• Mireo DON’T PANIC software for Windows CE (also available for Android smartphones)
• CarteBlanche Ukraine map

Another important thing is that we drove a usual stock car ZAZ/Daewoo Lanos – a ‘workhorse’ we normally use for cartographical surveys. Therefore, trafficability and dynamic quality of the car had hardly any impact on CarteBlanche Ukraine map results. What is more, we left a number of competitor off-road vehicles behind ;), proving high quality of Mireo DON’T PANIC software and CarteBlanche Ukraine map.

Verdict by Doroga.UA: “We are glad to say that CarteBlanche Ukraine map is consistent and always takes high places in our tests. This means that the map is manufactured accurately and thoroughly”.
