Cyclists can now get turn-by-turn directions on the go with voice-guided navigation from the Google Maps app for Android.
The app helps cyclists avoid steep hills and find bike lanes, cycle paths and recommended streets. Cyclists can enhance Google Maps’ cycling information by contributing to Map Maker.
