The popular online map service Google Maps can also display cycle routes. The setting can be activated with just a few clicks. Here’s how.
Google Maps is an application that not only helps drivers and pedestrians plan their routes. Cyclists can also use the tool to display suitable routes.
If you are planning your next trip or just want to know where safe cycling routes are in your area, Google’s map service can help you. Here are instructions on how to display cycling routes in Google Maps:
Step 1: Open Google Maps on your computer or mobile on your smartphone.
Step 2: On the computer, click on the “Layers” icon in the bottom left. On the smartphone in the “Google Maps” app on iOS and Android, this is a rectangular icon.
Step 3: Select “Cycling” or “By bike” under the map details.
Google Maps will now show you the available cycling routes on the map.
You can also view the cycling routes offline on your mobile device. To do this, simply download the map section. To do this, go to the Google Maps menu by clicking on your profile picture and select “Offline maps”. Then select the desired map area and download it.
Showing bike lanes helps you find safer routes that are specifically designed for cyclists. Using the option, you can plan your route in advance and avoid roads that are unsuitable or dangerous for cyclists. In addition, Google Maps helps you quickly and easily find the best and fastest bike lanes to reach your destination.
