Quick overview of GPS navigators with traffic information in Kyiv, Ukraine. November 2016. What is available:
- iGo is based on here maps that is 1-2 years old. Traffic is more or less adequate, but loading of traffic is slow, and there are no traffic events. UI is old-school and slow, but nice. At least during driving. It is not free.
- here good free up-to-date map with traffic, but without traffic events and without events reporting.
- Google have 3D building but unable to show it during navigation. Good map of traffic, but without events. No traffic events reporting.
