Pull down menu option exists, but no worky here either. Even the "walking" option is still beta in this country.

We do have an excellent journey planner for finding public transportation connections + walking/cycling routes in greater Helsinki area. In biking mode, it lets you choose between various priorities in routing (MUPs, surface type, distance), shows climb/descent profile and selectable "points of interests" (traffic lights, road construction sites, cafeterias, steep hills, bike park facilities etc). Routes are drawn either on map or aerial photo. Results can be downloaded in a couple of GPS readable formats. Etc. It's one of the better public service sites I've seen, and will continue to own Google in that geographical area due to the extensive public transportation info.

For specific destinations outside of journey planner's area, I still use Google with "driving" or "walking" options. Good thing I like maps (and have far too many of them), as the Google suggestion usually needs to be fine tuned with other sources to make it more suitable for biking.
