Many smartphone owners use Google Maps for navigating in the car or on foot. Now the search engine service also offers a special navigation for cyclists. Users can cooperate.

The search engine Gigant Google introduces bicycle navigation. The data for the bicycle-appropriate roads and paths come from both Google itself and the General German Bicycle Club (ADFC) with which the Internet company works together. Users are called to complement the routes that are not yet considered – the designated software Map Maker has also been available in Germany since April. The bike navigation of the Google Maps is available in other countries, in Europe, the offer now includes about 15 countries.
The bicycle navigation works much like the existing route calculations for motorists, for public transport and pedestrian. Inner-city routes are also calculated as routes between remote cities. On mobile devices with the Google system Android, cyclists are also led to the goal, without having to take the hand from the handlebar. For the Apple System iOS there are similar bicycle apps from other providers such as the bikeCityGuide.
