    why?
  • wirehead says
    I fed my commute into it and it routed me on a street I specifically avoid taking.
  • Loli
    but how is google supposed to know that?
  • wirehead thinks
    that knowing how to optimally route cyclists instead of drivers is a fundamental feature of a bike mode.
  • Loli
    True - same goes for walking
  • Loli
    I try to take the bike paths as much as possible, then veer off to the streets when i get close to my destination

    tried google maps after seeing the announcement, and didn't find anything about biking, at all. Not for Seattle yet?

    hmm, has not tried this yet... suspect it only plans around official bike lines and shared lanes... which are not so convenient in Austin.
  • wirehead says
    it will use normal streets, but it's far from perfect.

    Best thing is the official routes on overlay. It came close with my path to one of the theatres.
  • wirehead says
    yes, however out here, the official routes are graded by skill level, which is nice.
