I do agree that the status quo for wayfinding is pretty abysmal, unless you're already on a major trail. But it's 2022 now, and everyone* uses Google Maps to navigate. I'd love to see some attention payed to the routing in Google Maps when "cycling" mode is selected. In a perfect world, the user skill level could be selected (like this map in Ottawa, which I've shamelessly stolen from the aforementioned Reddit thread: https://maps.bikeottawa.ca/lts/ ), and different route options could be made available depending on that selection. Of course, the route options will remain limited until more infrastructure projects are completed. I just think that this collaboration with Google Maps would be the most universally accessible tool for casual riders.
