    #GoogleMaps telling you to "make a U-turn in 150 metres" while giving cycling directions tells you all you need to know.

    Sadly the latest #CycleStreets app crashes for me the instant you start navigating.

    I've wondered for a while now - is there any research on map routing algorithms that allow for significantly longer routes, which meet other criteria like "more peaceful" or "simpler" or "less pollution"?

    The excellent #CycleStreets app (based on #OpenStreetMap data) allows for quiet/balanced/fast routes, but "quiet" isn't quite what I want.

    For example part of my route from work to Euston could go via the canal around Regent's Park, but that option is never suggested as it is 10min longer:

    @saskia I've never really trusted Google Maps for cycling directions and instead use #CityMapper or #CycleStreets, both of which make use of the rich cycling data in #OpenStreetMap

    Martin from #CycleStreets gave a great talk at #sotm2019 about issues with the #OSM data model, especially in regards to lanes and sidewalks, and connectivity vs. cartography vs. routing
