## CycleStreets journey planner Description
UK-wide cycle journey planner CycleStreets on your mobile device! Cycle journey planner for cyclists, by cyclists.

Plan routes from A to B anywhere in the UK, with a choice of three routing modes to suit a range of cyclists from beginner to regular commuter, plus a circular leisure routing mode. And the Photomap lets you submit photos of infrastructure problems or good practice around the UK.

PLAN CYCLE ROUTES FROM A TO B (TO C, D, ..)

Select a start and finish point by clicking on the map, by searching for names/places/postcodes, or by using your current location, and click to obtain the route.

CHOICE OF THREE ROUTING MODES

The app produces routes that will suit most cyclists. It can optionally can find faster or quieter routes for different types of rider. Routes are fetched from the CycleStreets website. You can switch the route type after planning it, and can save and rename and organise routes.

HILLS? NO PROBLEM!

The journey planner knows about hills, and finds routes that take advantage of the descents and avoids the ascents where possible. It balances these against the available road types. The route can be displayed on a map with contours using the OpenCycleMap option.

STAGE-BY-STAGE ITINERARY

As well as the main map view, planned routes are loaded into an itinerary view, so you can follow each part of the journey. The street name, time and length are all shown, as is a detailed map for each individual stage of the journey. Routes are saved so you can also follow them again later.

PHOTOMAP

The Photomap is a cycling advocacy tool used by campaign groups around the country. Use it to browse examples of problems or good practice, and add your own pictures. Need more cycle parking in your favourite spot in town? Sign in with a free account and add a photo of it to the Photomap.

OPENSTREETMAP

Routing makes use of OpenStreetMap data, the brilliant 'geo-wiki' to which you can contribute. Note that, at present, some areas of the country have better coverage than others. Streets and paths of all kinds, including Sustrans routes and Local Authority network, are included. Routing quality is being developed all the time, with new types of cycling and street data being added and interpreted by the route planner.

Thanks to Neil Edwards for his hard work on this release.

## CycleStreets journey planner Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***-- "Good free app"
However the setting and editing of routes is rather clunky, and I can’t work out how to add remove way points after you’ve pressed plan route, or edit their order.
-- _-_-_Peter_-_-_, 2024-05-08

### ***** "Best Cycle app for London"
I’ve cycled in London for 15 years. And I found this app to be consistently better than any alternatives. I have always been super impressed by the quality and safeness of the suggested routes. The option to move between fastest, balanced, and quiet route is great. 
Best to use the base map as Apple vector map for navigation. It takes one or two goes to get used to it, especially placing the start and finish points and saving the waypoint.
-- London_Cyclist, 2024-03-30

### **--- "Great idea - impossible UI"
The idea is great but the map is impossible to look at - how anyone can navigate using this is beyond me. The interface is incredibly unintuitive. The base idea is terriffic so I am rooting for you guys and the next version
-- Herrschy, 2022-10-01

### ***-- "Is this abandonware?"
It doesn’t play nice on iPad for planning, and it feels quite outdated on iPhone.

Will apple remove it in the coming cull?
-- Murkee, 2022-05-13

### ***** "Free and excellent!"
Not much in life is free, and things as useful as this are hardly ever free (air is about the only thing I can think of), so I forgive it it’s little quirks. In short: excellent (once you get into the mi dart of the designer).
-- Nearholmer, 2022-04-05

### ***** "Great Routing"
I’ve checked a fair few apps and this is the best for routing (in London at least). No other routing service incorporates purpose built Quietways, LCN, CS routes as well as CycleStreets. It’s so good Citymapper apparently uses CycleStreets routing! 

I prefer using the CycleStreets app at the moment as it shows an overlay of wider cycle network (if you select the OpenCyclemap graphic display in settings) so it’s easy to start exploring outside of a routed journey.

Wish list:
-on the iOS app the choice of map graphics is cool, but it’s a shame the overlay of the cycle network (LCN, Quietways, CS etc) only appears on the OpenCyclemap style. It would be great if the overlay could be toggled on/off for all map styles.
-Apple Watch app 🤞🤞
-or lobby Apple to use CycleStreets routing on Apple maps 🥳
-- Fortune057, 2021-12-26

### ***** "I love this app"
I’ve cycled in Edinburgh for decades but this app has helped me find routes I would never have come up with on my own. The interface is maybe not the best but still, I love this app!
-- CaroScot, 2021-11-20

### ***** "Best route planner for UK!"
This is an app developed by UK cyclists and for UK cyclists.  It’s true that the main effort has gone into getting the routing right and less into the interface.  You need to practice a few times before using it as your sole guide.

It is just a route planner. If you want to have turn by turn instructions I recommend generating a gps track in the web version and uploading it to a GPS cyclecomputer or Bikemap on your ‘phone. Your device may generate its own routes, but they will be worse and sometimes ludicrous compared with this app.

This app deserves to have a good manual built in. For example, it wasn’t until I contacted the developers that I discovered how to route through intermediate destinations. (Just add them in turn before choosing “New”)
-- janusz0, 2021-08-19

### ***-- "Doesn’t work on the go"
This seems like a good app but it’s missing a major feature - there is no in journey mode so you can have it open as you cycle. If I have this open on my phone on the handlebars of my bike after a few mins my phone just goes to sleep because there is no way to tell the phone you are using it. Needs a ‘go’ button you could press that then puts app into sat nav mode
-- stokey ft, 2021-05-31

### ***-- "Poor version of the web based application"
I’m a big fan of the website and am generally very happy with the routes that are generated. However, the iOS app misses out a crucial feature. It doesn’t allow for downloading or exporting .gpx files of the route for using on navigation devices or other apps such as ViewRanger. Likewise, the mobile website is similarly nobbled. Shame, because the routing is excellent.
