   https://cycle.travel/ is (in my opinion) unbeatable for bike-navigation, but I use it more for planning a ride (and exporting the GPX file to my Garmin Edge) than for 'on-the-go' routing.

   For car navigation I've used https://www.magicearth.com/ , which I've found to be really good.

   Maybe the road with the bike lane is a secondary road and the narrow one without is a tertiary, which might be preferred by the bike routing. Can you link us to the road in question so we can look at it in detail?

   A fully offline copy of the map data for Switzerland for example is around 340 MB.

   With OrganicMaps you can (and are asked) to download an offline copy of the map data, based on OpenStreetMap. I use it whenever I'm out of country (and also a lot when not roaming).

    If it’s mapped as `highway`=something in OpenSteetMap it will show up on this site ;)

    It is easily possible, but cumbersome. That’s why there are services to do it easily; I like http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/

    Fortunately http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ is still a thing!

    I personally use it whenever I give a presentation, to cite a scientific work. Makes copying the reference much easier for the audience and helps to reduce clutter...

    I'm genuinely interested, but when I zoom in to a 'random' town in the Rockies I see this - on OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/40.3730/-105.5230 (or https://www.qwant.com/

    I wonder where you live, do you mind sharing the region? (I have the privilege to live in central Europe, where OSM is actually chock-full of information.)

    It seems to me that this is more a problem of the embed from vesselfinder.com. I just noted this here: https://github.com/grischard/osm-lacking-attribution/issues/...

    Have you tried https://www.magicearth.com ? I’m using it on iOS where it supports Car Play. From a quick search it seems to me that it also supports Android Auto.

    I often use https://github.com/thevangelist/FFMPEG-gif-script-for-bash for achieving this. It's a little helper script that does pretty much what is given in the linked blog post.
