When I have tried to find a bicycle route using Navigator Free the route proposed often uses OSM ways that are tagged "Footway" or "Path" (these are very often pedestrian-only ways i.e. tagged bicycle=no)
I can largely avoid this problem by changing the Bicycle Route Setup to prohibit use of Other Road but that means cycle ways and other off road routes where bicycles are permitted are not used unless the Start or Destination is off road
Overall many of the proposed bicycle routes are of no practical use
Is there any proposal to improve the selection of bicycle routes? If not why retain the option to select bicycle routes?
My solution is to use BRouter/Oruxmaps or Graphhopper/Locus Map However these sometimes still have the same problem but to a lesser degree
