Which makes it all the more infuriating that Google Maps still has huge flaws when it comes to motorbike navigation.

- shric 7y agonot the GP, and I don't how it's done, but my Google Maps timeline does distinguish between motorcycling and car trips, however its reliability is questionable. It has often mis-categorised my motorcycle trips as car trips, but rarely if ever the reverse. I would guess (unsubstantiated) that it classifies a motorcycle trip as being unexpectedly fast through many traffic jams.
