Thanks guys, I've lived in the same area for over 40 years, so I typically use my personal knowledge for local rides, but rely on paper maps and Google for multi-day trips and rides away from home.

I find the Google bike function often doesn't do a good job of finding bike friendly roads, but will tie in bike paths when appropriate. I have the Osmand and Gaia apps on my phone for times I might need to make quick route decisions or find my way back to my truck when backcountry skiing.

I prefer low traffic volume over high and wide shoulders over narrow. I was hoping the Bikemap app did a better job of suggesting bike-friendly routes than the other apps I already use. It sounds like the Bikemap app isn't all that special. I know nothing beats common sense and planning ahead!
