Dutch
cyclists no longer have to rely on old-fashioned maps but can turn to their
smart phones for help because Google maps has added cycle paths to its
directions.
It’s long
been possible for Google users to plan a journey via car, foot or public
transport and the internet giant is working together with various local
councils and mapmakers to include what it describes as the best routes for
cyclists.
The service
has been available for some time in parts of the US and has now been launched
in the Netherlands along with a number of other countries, including Australia
and Great Britain.
Google is
asking users to alert it to routes that may be suitable for cyclists but not
yet marked as such on its online maps.
