Oh jeez ... does IT ever make our lives simpler?!?
Yes. I can't imagine how hard it was to tour before Google maps and street views

I remember when you had to go out on your bike to see things, rather than looking through the eyes of the little google man.
Well I never, you do get distinctly different routes depending on which map you have set. I must investigate further

Yeah. It was just that sometimes you blundered into epically crap situations like motorways or long unbridged sandy fords! I don't altogether miss either of those.Pretty easy frankly....

Actually, a decent up to date (paper) map has let me down less than GPS and routing software has over the years....
Find a motorway sign on a cycleway (and worst of all are those quasimotorways signed as A roads but deeply no fun to cycle on), and did you misread the word "sometimes" as "every time"?Yes because motorways aren't signed in advance at all and the world is full of long unbridged sandy fords🙄
I just found out myself. I had asked the RWGPS help desk about the different maps and was told that not always but occasionally, the algorithms of one map are different from another and might produce different routing.I intend to do more followup on this later today and will post what I'm told.
