<![CDATA[Acoustic route guidance for bicycles in cities]]>I am using Mapy for bicycle routes, primarily in Vienna. I am satisfied with the routing itself, but the audio guide could be improved. For example, it often asks to “turn right” (or left) on a straight path.
I guess this is due to the routes themselves not drawn perfectly straight, and the guide picking up every edge of the track.
I think the acoustic routing could be dramatically improved using some sort of “lowpass filter” that rejects the very small edges of the route.

I understand that acoustic route guidance may be difficult in general, as actually no one does it right (also not gmaps). But in a city, if you have no mount for your phone, it can get really annoying when having to look on the screen periodically.
So maybe this would be a point for Mapy to stand out from others 🙂

thank you for the detailed feedback and for the suggestion. The issue you describe can sometimes be caused by the underlying route data – for example, when a route is not drawn completely straight or when it slightly switches between a pavement and a road.
Could you please send us a direct link to one of the routes where this happens? We can then take a look at it in the itinerary and check what might be causing the unnecessary turn instructions.
Thank you!
