Google map cycling directions do not use the Upfield bike path. Annoying for people who know where to go (and, say, want to check trip times), dangerous for inexperienced riders or those new to the area.

Sydney Road. Oh, but wait. There’s some cyclist-specific protective paint on the road. That should prevent additional deaths.

Open Street map and cycleOSM is my go-to for route finding in any new area, but quickly checking a landmark/business/address location i still find Google maps easier. I assume I'm not alone there - which is why is like to see their bike way-finding improved!
