We wanted to find something special, to attempt something hard to imagine. And we thought it would be cool to shoot a panoramic view from the top of the world. To let users ‘take a walk’ to the top of Mount Everest. The dream of millions that few can fulfill because of lack of money or health will soon come true for everybody on Yandex Maps.”   COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT Upon coming back to Moscow, the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 and the Land Cruiser Prado had a full technical diagnostics at an official Toyota dealership. Despite the most severe operating conditions at altitudes of up to 5,374 meters, the parameters of the various systems of both SUVs conform to the standards taking into account the covered mileage. There were no notes on the cars’ condition, and it only required replacing consumables. But it was not the end of trials for the legendary crossovers. The cars are ready for new achievements and will soon add them to the chronicle of their victories by taking part in new large-scale projects and extending the Land Cruisers’ boundaries.
