Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

BikeNode shows cycling routes on the map worldwide. Cyclists can switch between road routes and MTB routes. The following cycling networks are shown: * Bike nodes in The Netherlands and Belgium - Fietsknooppunten * Landelijke Fietsroutes in The Netherlands and Flanders - LF routes * Radnetz in German - D-routes * National Cycle Network in Great Brittain - NCN * EuroVelo in Europe - EV routes * Mountain bike tracks worldwide - MTB routes * Local routes for your bicycle * And many more… BikeNode is not a navigation app; it just shows an overview of all routes in different colors on the map. The best coverage of cycling routes is in Europe. BikeNode gets the routing information from WayMarkedTrails.org and OpenFietsKaart.nl. They in turn both get their data from OpenStreetMap.org.
