Hello
I'm looking for a suggested route I may take. Here's a rough Google biking map from my area (Port Credit) to Thunder Bay:

I friend suggested I take Highway 17 or 11. Highway 17 being more difficult & prettier (along Lake Superior too), Highway 11 much easier and a few hundred km longer.
Not that I trust the map above, but why does the bike route seemingly avoid Highway 17 when it hits Sudbury? Does it basically not put you on a highway for safety reasons?

I like that Google's bike map takes you along Lake Simcoe.
Shall I take Highway 11 up to North Bay then continue going west on Highway 17? What's Highway 69 like? Definitely want something scenic, I am a Photographer too!
Also, as a new rider please tell me of your concerns regarding Highway choice and precautions D:
Thanks
