I wish I were so free-spirited ✌
Do you ever follow a route? Or at least a map? If so, which one?
What do you look for when planning a new route?

OSMand will highlight brothels (if they are in the openstreetmap database) and will route between them offline.
Various other "adult" things as i recall as well, possibly under the "leisure" heading.
I have vague memories from tinkering that something near Chorley popped up.
Have no idea if @PaulSB uses OSMand.

So true. When the rubber hits the road, there's bound to be unforeseen issues. Some support here would be really cool. Thanks for the input.

🙈 Certainly an interesting POI 😆

Nope not really, aim in a general direction perhaps sometimes. No map required although occasionally have an OS map handy if I want a pub lunch.

Do they exchange OS Maps for pints these days? I guess they cost about the same.

If a route has fords I don’t know. I want to know if a footbridge is available (without having to streetview it)

I prefer to use minor roads as much as possible, and will usually look for hills.
I'm sometimes happy to use bike paths, though only ones which are tarmac for pretty well the whole of the path.
I have several times used the Strava random route generator, just giving it a distance and specifying "hilly", and have usually been reasonably happy with what it came up with.
It would be nice to be able to tell it you want a café (or pub) after a certain rough mileage.

It would be useful to know something about the suitability of the surface, particularly when to routing app is recommending a bridal way or shared use path, such as some of the Sustrans routes. I've followed routes generated by routing apps and found that I've had to get off and walk sometimes as I'm usually riding a bike with 25mm tyres.
