What do you use to find the best cycling routes? Not for recreative trips (Komoot or RouteYou) but navigating from point A to B. Some of my go-to resources that usually do the trick, though none is good enough on its own.

  • Knooppunten: Excellent for getting close to your destination, although it sometimes suggests low-traffic routes over dedicated cycle paths.
  • Cycle Highways: Ideal for fast, medium-distance trips—but, many routes are still under construction.
  • RAVeL: Same as the cycle highways above but for Wallonia.
  • ORS Maps: Pretty solid bike routing algorithm (OSM based).
  • OpenCycleMap: Offers extensive cycling routes, though the lack of filtering makes the interface feel cluttered (OSM based).

@SamyTerje thank you! Since smartphones come with a wide angle camera, I've put away my thoughts on buying an action cam. All pictures are made with a Samsung S21 FE using the 0.5 camera
