Never give up! Adding a "Biking trail"

MarcoDavoli · April 10, 2025, 6:59am

We’re trying to add a bike trail to the map in an area where it’s very clear and visible, even from satellite images. The contrast and light are perfect. No doubt!

What could be preventing us from adding the trail or causing it to not display correctly?

I checked in “Map details” enabling the only “Biking” layer and, in our case, this is the view I have.
Looking at the screenshot I have this doubt:

I took this screenshot today at 8:24 AM, now, is 8:55 and the small green line (highlighted by the red arrow on the right) is disappeared…
Selecting the view option “Biking” you see many biking trail that, in the Normal view they are not exiting.

I do understand that if you are a biker you’ll use Google Maps enabling the Biking layer only to have a great view of possibile biking trail but…

Now my question is: How can we edit/modify these green line that (in this case) are in the wrong position, incomplete and in some case simply wrong?

Could be really helpful if we can update and provide right informations also for bikers .

Let me know.

Take care
Marco

Having seen the green line options, then we are really just too limited when adding Biking / walking trail. the Ai has too much to decide surely?

the green line options just don’t seem to match up either. dedicated lines on the roads, mixed with bike friendly roads. I wonder of they used to be bike friendly roads at some point, but they are too close to the dedicated lanes and have merged. Would it allow dedicated lanes be so close?

i think like you said Marco, we could do with being able to choose or change the classification, like on this piece:
