> It doesn't appear to factor in aspects unique to cycling, for instance difference in elevation, when calculating the best route. This quote is followed immediately by a screen capture showing the text 'Mostly flat' underneath the journey time and distance. In fact in Edinburgh, UK my experience with Google Maps has been that it automatically selects routes that use more cycle paths, roads with cycle lanes, and flatter or downhill options. Maybe this is different per city?
