Is that a regional setting? Never saw “fewer turns” as an option in my app. Only saw “most environmental” when it takes a shorter router even though it’s slower

I’ve never seen “most environmental” or “fewer turns”. We get “fewer toll roads” and sometimes “avoids traffic” during rush hour

Can they add an option to show roads with more twist for us riding a motorbike? I’d love to road trip without having to look too closely at the map for nice roads.

Might wanna ask them about that directly. I certainly won’t be able to answer that question.

If you use Waze instead, they actually have a setting you can toggle for roads that are more twisty. In my experience it works great!

Kurviger is what you’re looking for

There’s a bunch of motorcycle specific apps for people who want to use their phone to navigate (I recommend using an old phone if you plan to mount it to your motorcycle, vibration can kill the camera)

I love that one as well, can be used as a launcher on Android, IIRC you can even use it with two devices so you don’t have to take the SIM out of your good phone.

It’s an option!? I get severely motion sick in cars and I’d love those easier roads

Also, looking at the road, it doesn’t seems to be that bad. It ain’t central France bad

They always seem to force alternative routes regardless whether there are any.

I regularly see “alternatives” which are just taking a turn, doing a 180 in a roundabout and reentering the same route as before. Because why wouldn’t I just waste 10 mins just for fun?

The best alternatives are the ones you find zooming into the map. The software knows it can’t recommend anybody take them because they’ll immediately become slower than the main routes.

Also never seen the roundabout 180

Also never seen the roundabout 180

Actually had it a couple of times. It has to be a bug but it’s been happening for a while now…

I’ve never had the roundabout one either. But I do often get ones where I’m on a rural highway and it will give an alternative route to exit the highway, take this long twisting road that dumps me back on the highway ahead of me, adding a needless 40 minutes. Haha.

Oh wow, it only has me exit to save 5(+) minutes. And thank goodness for that if I’m in an unfamiliar place.

Except they never display the real alternatives when they DO exist! Often I’ll be driving in an area I know well, and there will be a crash or roadwork or something and Google will say “welp, better just add 30 minutes to your 30 minute commute” and I’m like “nah fam there’s a whole other road”

I dunno how they can consistently fuck up that bad.

I think a bunch of municipalities got butt hurt at them for routing traffic through their cities. It definitely used to offer way better and more alternatives. Now it’s absolute shit and I have to eyeball it all the time to see if there’s a better route.

I miss the good old days where u could click and drag the line to a route that looked better and see if it actually would work.

I have the opposite problem where I know there are better alternative routes but google refuses to acknowledge them.
