Yet another cycle safety app
I have built an app for identifying and discussing cycling safety issues with reference to a map.You can map local problems in a detailed way using points, lines and polygons, then describe the issue and optionally attach photographs.
The value of the map is that*
1) it is much more obvious what and where the perceived problem is and*
2) it is easy to identify local*issues and discuss how to solve them with other local people who use the same route and experience the same problem*
3) planners and local*authorities can quickly identify the most contentious and dangerous failings of cycling provision in their jurisdiction.
I am seeking feedback on the app: How can it be improved? More features? Fewer features? Would you use it?All feedback will be gratefully received.

Probably the best choice; AFAICT, none of the big map companies give a crap about hiking trails or MUPs, while OSM gets those just as soon as somebody remembers to take a GPS through. Makes a huge difference when you're looking for a route and can't see something like the White Rock Trail or Trinity River Trail System on the other maps, so end up on a hilly 45mph feeder instead.
