Again a big change in BikeNode. This time the game changer is that the main source of the routes now is WayMarkedTrails.org instead of OpenFietskaart.nl. There are two reasons for making this switch: 1) The coverage is worldwide instead of The Netherlands and Belgium only and 2) WayMarkedTrails.org is updated daily while OpenFietskaart.nl was not updated already for some years. This leads to a more and more outdated cycling network.
Because the coverage now is worldwide, my primary communication language also is changed from Dutch to English (as you can read).
As a side effect I also made the following changes:
- Enable switching between the main layout (= road cycling routes) and MTB routes
- Have a possibility to still show the old bike node (fietsknooppunten) network in The Netherlands and Belgium
- Introduction of the setting ‘Old nodes instead of MTB’
- Adding ‘Terrain’ as base map option
Have fun with the update.
