    Yes I know it, and sometimes use it for a little. But the vast majority of things it presents to complete to me feel rather unimportant. My leisure time isn’t exactly plenty, and then I rather do other things I see more value in. Even surface type is mapped most of the time, and I don’t take the effort to map surface quality because it is not used for anything. Maybe I’ll make an App at some point that infers surface quality automatically while road biking from the acceleration sensor in the phone mounted to the handlebar…

      I don’t take the effort to map surface quality because it is not used for anything.

      Just so you know. It can be invaluable to disabled people trying to get around.

      Myself. With visual impairment. Where my vision can change drematically from day to day.

      Knowing the surface quality can let me know if a route can be done with just a cane. Or if on a bad day I am better off just going a longer route. Or waiting till a better day.

      Please remember what seems unimportant to you. Can be absolutely essential to others less able to answer the questions then yourself.
