#ÖBB #BahnBubble : why the train categories at fahrplan.oebb.at have been recently broken? In Poland having SKM (and some other... regional) trains as Fernzüge is quite disastrous... though the situation in France with TERs in the same category is even advantageous for me

Ok now they're just taking the piss. At the five hour mark I get to visit...Mars. Pennsylvania.

#NewJersey #RoutePlanning

IMPORTANT UPDATE! I have discovered that if I keep driving past East Texas, another ~3h will be all that's required to arrive in…drumroll please…

ALASKA!

…, Pennsylvania.

Wondering if PA has all other 50 states contained within it, like some sort of American matroyshka doll.

#NewJersey #RoutePlanning

DID YOU KNOW: my home in northern #NewJersey is only a 1h15m drive from East Texas!

…specifically, the town of East Texas, Pennsylvania.

#RoutePlanning

Last time I moved, Strava still offered free route planning… Or maybe I was a Strava subscriber because it was valuable?? Can’t remember.

But new home means new routes, but privacy is more of a concern these days. Haven’t played with it yet, but OsmAnd has a solid take on privacy, open source, and tracker free. On my todo list for after work.

(Since I haven’t needed route planning in a few years, I’m probably late to the OsmAnd party! 🤣)

I Don’t Own an EV Yet—But Apple Maps Is Already Letting Me Down

Apple Maps is great—until you try to plan an EV road trip.

Want to go somewhere this weekend, but not sure where?

Try following your shadow...or if you don't want to do that - have a look at where it would have taken you.

I made a thing, and wrote about it:

Screenshot of a web-app. At the top there is a date picker (03/28/2025) and a slider title target speed (10 km/h). To the left is a table showing: location, sunrise, sunset, daylight duration, path length and route length. Below this is a map showing a smooth curve between a green point and a red point, with a wiggly route that roughly follows the smooth curve. At the bottom is another slider for changing start time and end times.

Looking for a tool to compare different routes (visualization, length, duration) on a single map. Bonus if I can plan multi-stop trips and see how long each segment is.

It’s tedious to compare via Google Maps. I saw someone mentioning a tool that he built where you can just write from to in a textfield and it plots on the map.

#maps #mapstodon #routeplanning

The cooler weather is here, which means I can seriously start to look at, and train towards the 19km route that I have had my eye on all summer.
Parts of it are going to need working out, so might have to hop on / hop off a bus so I can walk some of the sections that I think will be problems - but we'll see how feasible it is.

#Running #RoutePlanning

I believe I have made this complaint/request before, but I will put it out there again, now that my ebike is actually fixed and I can ride again.

It seems that most, if not all bike route planning apps use the Google maps philosophy of you put in Point A (where you want to leave from) and Point Z and it finds the "best" route for you automatically based on some lovely AI "data."

I find that the routes made from this are not ideal and trying to "improve" them is even more frustrating. Some along the lines of, I want to avoid X Street, so I move the route and the entire thing changes and I have to start over.

On the other hand "full manual mode" is just drawing lines on the map, doesn't follow streets from point to point and is useless.

What I would like is something that allows me to put a point on a map (say my front door) and another point (the end of street 2KM away) and have it draw a route line between those two points that sticks to roads or trails. And then the next point and so on until I say I am am done. Then the app tells me how long the route is, how much elevation gain and so on.

Any ideas? Thanks!

A tip for #skatecommuting or any #micromobility #routeplanning. See if your city has a pavement condition #map. I like to check that whenever I’m exploring new routes. Combined with recent #StreetView imagery it helps you find the good stuff. Buttery smooth vs. busted up makes a big difference.

For instance here’s the one for #Dallas

#longboarding

A screenshot of the pavement condition map for the City of Dallas. Streets are color coded block by block with a grade of A (excellent) through E (failed). The city has a special trailer they tow around every so often. It records vibrations, then generates a blended condition grade for each section of road it travels over.

Another one in the #routeplanning gone wrong series. Something is going horribly wrong with our routing graph here! 😭

An image of what should be a routing network but with vertical lines clearly incorrect.

The company I work for (for 2 days per week) has finally joined here as well! If you are interested in #urbanism, #mobility and #MobilityTools, follow them at @anyways

Quite a bit of our work involves #routeplanning, specifically for #cyclists touching upon many aspects such as #roadSafety and comfort (as our tools should help to improve this)

https://en.osm.town/@anyways@urbanists.social/110140689523041332

Hi! We are new here, so an #introduction. We are ANYWAYS and we develop tools for #mobility studies: we offer a private copy of #OpenStreetMap where you can experiment with alternative mobility scenarios by comparing #routeplanning of the new with the current situation.

We love #cycling #infrastructure as well - it is an important part in our toolchain too. As such, we did some research into quantifying the #safety of a #cycleway - read all about this in our blog: https://www.anyways.eu/blog/2023-01-05-why-dont-kids-cycle

Riffing on route planning, from farming materials in a game (iron ore nodes etc in an MMO), to relying on silly GPS routing data for last mile delivery drivers (ie., when the damn software INSISTS on sending you through the exit of a gated community)
