    How to Use the
    Route 66 Interactive Route Planner

    Go directly to the charts

    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.
