- cullenking 6y agoI am curious why you think this. I run https://ridewithgps.com https://ridewithgps.com and always love constructive feedback to improve. There’s always improvements to make, but I wouldn’t quite go as far as calling things abysmal!
- goguy 6y agoThe new Strava feature is pretty good IMO
- malyk 6y agofootpath is pretty great for planning and adding features regularly
- c0nsumer 6y agoOne of the main reasons for this is a lack of data. The Strava Heatmap (crowdsourced data, based on past frequency of use) is pretty much the best. OSM tagging is insufficient for real good routing, and it doesn't take traffic patterns into account. Thus, a lot of route creation is dependent on hyperlocal knowledge. Strava Route Builder, with the heatmap, goes fairly far on this, but it too isn't the best. This is a really hard problem to solve.
