Sustrans routes now on google maps
« on: 14 July, 2012, 08:19:38 am »
When you click Get directions on google maps there is a button for cycle routes. this uses sustrans where possible. I think the sustrans routes are shown as dark green on the map.

News here http://www.sustrans.org.uk/about-sustrans/media/news-releases/safe-cycling-routes-to-appear-on-google-for-the-first-time

and here http://road.cc/content/news/61516-google-maps-adds-uk-bike-navigation-sustrans-routes

Don't think this is posted elsewhere I did check by doing a search on sustrans.

Just plugged in Ramsgate to Canterbury using the bike route finder, it came up with the most unpleasant routing possible (straight down the A299/A28). Quick though!  :thumbsup:
