Leave a Review Bikemap
Awesome Ride!
I was alerted that my subscription was about to renew, but I had some doubts about renewing.
I was unsure about continuing with the subscription as I had experienced some confused routes and directions in the past. The map planning seemed off. But something has changed!
I had been off the road for a good number of months until my bike was finally fixed last week.
Not sure if it was the recent update but I used Bikemap last Friday and the route it planned for me for a 4+ hour round trip was awesome.
It was a huge improvement. I enjoyed the route it chose for me so much I’m renewing my subscription, it’s worth it just for that experience alone!Show lessLumi Nate

Hi, thanks a lot for your review. We are glad that you’re enjoying cycling with Bikemap. If you have any suggestions for improvements, just let us know at support@bikemap.net. Best regards & happy cycling! 💙🚲Do you folks ride?
After doing a local, out and back, to get acquainted with bike maps, I discovered it’s fondness for it to send me down dirt roads. After discovering that you can turn off gravel roads in the settings, I thought rides would be limited to paved roads, as 700 series tires aren’t great on anything much more than tar. For 2 days straight in Maine, it has sent me down dirt roads that would be considered fire break trails, and if you do try and walk the original estimate of 5 miles, it will tell you to continue 15 more, then 10 more after that. Bike maps has a habit of giving you one estimate of a ride from your kitchen table, the mileage may be within 10 % of actual, but elevation will be off by 50%.Show lessRedRogerRi

Hi, we are sorry that you are unhappy with our routing. Could you send us the details to support@bikemap.net? We will then take a closer look to see what we can improve. Best regards & happy cycling! 💙🚲Does not put you on bike paths. Useless without internet.
I bought this to pre-plan bike trips in detail with my computer, upload it to the phone and then run it with no wifi or cell service while traveling by bike through Europe.
It was a disaster!
No matter the settings, half of the time it would route you away from official bike paths. If you decide to stay on the official bike path instead of using the recommended highway route, it will not re-route you. Instead it will stop routing and pick up your original track later (sometimes hours later). Until that happens you have no idea where to go and how much longer your trip is.
Using this app completely offline did not only nor help, it often made the routing a lot worse and ruined several days of a very nice bike trip (Austria, Switzerland and Italy). Imagine for an hour you think that you only have 20 kilometers left till you are there, and after an hour of cycling you find out it’s still another 17km. It’s super aggravating!
This app might be neat when used while having an active internet connection. Do not use it offline; it’s awful!!Show lessThatGermanWildlifeGuy
