It always amuses me when Strava suggests shortest-path routes with a dozen turns rather than biasing towards paths revealed by its own heat-maps.

- Gigachad 4y agoI’ve found sometimes the OSM data is to blame. The Strava route planner refused to take the rail underpass because someone had marked it as bike access: no. Rather than access: dismount. So since I was route planning a bike trip, it just wouldn’t use that path.
- __derek__ 4y agoThat makes sense, at least. The examples I'm thinking of are running routes where the tool can follow the path as long as I place an excessive number of waypoints to force its way.
- Gigachad 4y agoThis situation outright refused to route through the underpass no matter what I did. I ended up just fixing the OSM data.
