there's this exercise path near where i live and google maps keeps routing me through it when i ask for cycling directions. cycling is forbidden on the path and i have reported the issue several times. latest report got a notification that my change request has been approved. maps still routes bicycles though the path.

like the path has this sign on it "Road closed to all vehicles in both directions"

I bet google maps backend doesn't have a connection type that routes walking but not bicycles

i can't believe it's that stupid. hang on, let me test it on a park near me where i know there are separate trails for biking and for walking... :ughh:

https://goo.gl/maps/zLyUsZfFwKH2

https://goo.gl/maps/gkNx2JFsoo12

i got gmaps to suggest both of these routes on pedestrian-only trails. the trail just to the north of both of these is bike-only. they're separated because this is a very popular park and it'd be super dangerous during any nice day to ride a bike down the pedestrian trail. holy poo poo google

Tbf it does say "walk your bicycle" for those sections

And you seem to have chosen endpoints that are only on the walking path and not actually reachable from the bike path? how are you expecting to get to that exact spot, ride down the cycleway and then jump the barrier?

also if we move the start point a bit, here are the three routes it suggests from the new start point to the (same) end point

in what substantial way is this different from other Android phones, putting aside the inscrutability of its manufacturer

nah, they do decent hardware for low prices (they do their own socs so they can shave of some costs there), but they gently caress up the software a lot, and i wouldn't trust them to do anything useful with this camera setup (though i think it is again horrid overprocessing software letting their cameras down)

they are the second-largest phone manufacturer in the world though (apple fell to third just this summer), so obviously the things they sell do more or less function

a lot of people choose android because they care very much about who made their device/OS. "enjoy your walled garden appleailures :smugdroid:" is a cliche for a reason.
