I wrote this blog post as I'm often asked for a safe cycle route somewhere - hopefully you find this useful :D

  I was so happy to read about citymapper. I was thinking I finally found cool app, one that lets me browse by safest path. sadly its not available in my city Warsaw, Poland :( Thank you for taking time

    Ah no! I'd try OSMAnd as the next best pick, it's extremely customizable and works on iOS and Android!

  Thanks for the post. I'm a big osmand user, but have never tried BRouter. Is it significantly better than the built in routing?
  • usrusr 6y ago
    Brouter is great, despite some minor annoyances that are ultimately rooted in the design decision that the OSM graph representation does not contain street names (a lot of bike routing happens in nameless trails). Locusmaps on android has the best routing front-end (it can use brouter or some others) I have seen so far, including a variety of desktop front-ends.

    It's much faster and more customizable. The built in routing was fine in my previous country, but here in Japan it's barely usable because it won't route you along a "highway". But if the built in is working for you then no real need to change it.

  Without having to deal with a commute, I've been doing a lot more biking for exercise lately. I've been looking for a way to plan out decent bike routes. I live in a corner of NJ where we several highways a couple miles a way, so it's pretty important to have a route planned so you don't accidentally end up on a road where bikes are inappropriate. This is very helpful!
