WhySoSlow is a personal, offline driving companion for Kyiv. It’s a follow-map, not a navigator: no routes and no turn-by-turn, just a big heads-up display with the speed limit in force right next to your speed, and a timely warning before each automatic speed camera. Everything works with no signal, and it’s yours to correct — fix any limit or drop your own markers from behind the wheel.
WhySoSlow is a personal project — free, no subscriptions. It covers Kyiv and the surrounding oblast today, with other regions available as downloadable map packs.

The idea in one minute

1

Mount your phone and start a drive

Put the phone in a car mount with the screen on, open WhySoSlow, and tap Start. The map follows you — there’s nothing to type and nothing to tap while moving.
2

Watch one honest number

Your speed sits next to the limit in force. It turns amber the moment you’re over the posted limit and red once you cross Ukraine’s +20 km/h fineable line — a single calm beep, not a siren.
3

Let the cameras warn you first

About 30 seconds before each automatic camera you get a distinct alert — only in the direction it enforces, and at the camera’s own limit.
