I’ve been going back and forth a few apps. Apple Maps and Google Maps fail me too often suggesting me to take streets without bike lanes. With OsmAnd I’m able to mark a few roads as “Avoid”, but I end up marking half my city and sometimes I do need to go one block or two on those streets.

Is there an app that allows me to to plan a route explicitly prioritizing AAA lanes that works in Vancouver?

    AAA = All-Ages-and-Abilities. In Vancouver it almost always is a protected bike path, but in theory it also includes off street bicycle paths (like the Stanley Park seawall, I think). Meaning, the really nice lanes.

    Tried brouter, really liked it! The no-go circles is way faster than adding hundreds of “Avoid road” markers on OsmAnd! Thanks :-)

    Edit: spent two hours customizing BRouter’s routing algorithms with my own cost factors based on OSM cycling related tags, it’s now working like a charm without me having to put a single no-go zone! Thanks again for the recommendation!
