Reporting Google Maps bike issues
Regarding reporting Google Maps bike issues…do it! Google has been incredibly receptive to hear from the biking public on it’s new bike routing feature of Google Maps. I’ve so far submitted about 10 different problem reports (mostly missing bike routes from the map) and they have got back to me on nearly all of them informing me that the change will be made with this e-mail:
Hi Dan,
Your Google Maps problem report has been reviewed, and you were right! We’ll update the map soon and email you when you can see the change.–
Thanks for your help,
The Google Maps team
My favorite part: “you were right!”. Leave it to Google to make you feel warm and fuzzy.
So go ahead, take a look at your city’s bike map on Google Maps and send in those corrections. You can do so by clicking the “Report a problem” link at the bottom right of the screen.

I use this bike map feature all the time. They do seem to send me on main roads a lot.
I am totally in love with the feature and thrilled that it now exists. I’ve dreamed of it for years. Really cool they have people dedicated to correcting errors in the mapping/routing too. You should definitely report it if you feel it made any errors
