Create a professional and visually engaging presentation about the world-famous mobile application MAPS.ME, focusing on its Belarusian roots, success story, and key features. The presentation must be in English. Slide Structure & Content Requirements: 1. Title Slide: "MAPS.ME: The Global Success of Belarusian Offline Maps". Add a subtitle: "From a Minsk startup to hundreds of millions of users worldwide." 2. The Origin Story: Explain how the app was founded in 2010 by Belarusian developers (Yury Melnichek, Alexander Borsuk, Viktor Govako, and Ilya Zinoviev) and developed in the Minsk High-Tech Park (HTP). 3. Core Value Proposition: Highlight the main problem it solved—providing high-quality, completely offline maps and GPS navigation using OpenStreetMap (OSM) data without the need for an internet connection. 4. Strategic Milestones: Mention its acquisition by Mail.Ru Group in 2014, making it completely free, and its subsequent sale to Daegu Ltd (Convexity Holdings) in 2020. 5. Key Features: Bullet points on offline routing (driving, walking, cycling), bookmarking locations, travel guides, and minimal storage footprint. 6. Legacy & Impact: Summarize how a small team from Belarus created one of the most downloaded travel apps in the world, proving the power of the Belarusian IT ecosystem. Design & Tone Guidelines: - Style: Clean, modern, tech-oriented, and travel-inspired. - Color Palette: Dominant travel-green and white (matching MAPS.ME branding), with clean dark gray typography. - Tone: Professional, inspiring, and informative. Use punchy bullet points instead of long paragraphs.
