I’ve just added support for a couple more tags to cycle.travel’s directions and thought it worth mentioning - everyone likes seeing their mapping being used.
First up, cycle.travel now includes ‘knooppunten’ (cycle node networks) in turn-by-turn directions. These are found in the Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Germany, and help you navigate dense cycle route networks. Here’s an example: https://cycle.travel/map/journey/51597
This picks up rcn_ref=
or lcn_ref=
tags on nodes.
cycle.travel also includes mountain passes in the turn-by-turn directions, for people who like riding somewhere hillier: https://cycle.travel/map/journey/51600
These are nodes (on highways) tagged natural=saddle
or mountain_pass=yes
with a name
tag. If there’s an ele
tag, this will be output too.
Live in Western Europe now; will be in North America in the next update in a week or so’s time. cycle.travel mapping and routing is updated from OSM roughly once a month. And thanks to everyone who has added knooppunten and mountain pass info to OSM!
