Even if Google caught up they just cannot compete with the quality of the detail of a ViaMichelin service. Its now more like 22 million km of road opposed to 4.4 million miles of years back, they really have bumped up there coverage and I heard serve more maps than multimap now !!!! ViaMichelin are not the most popular mapping provider in the UK (5th place) but they do a bloody good job !!!

The accuracy of Viamichelin is why i like opposed to Google , who seem to offer a very basic and often unreliable service with poor detail

I have searched and used other online mapping providers and Google although popular because people know the name are my least favourite and after reading reviews online for mapping , I will stick with a proven solution provider who have been going for more than 10 years and also do not sell the info i provide to other companies ( The amount of cookies on my computer after a google visit is ridicious ! )

Enjoy your biking , I am just planning a journey from Belgium and intend to cycle for 40 days and 40 nights and promise to keep you all up-to- date with my mapping

At least for Europe. I don't know if there are some technical reasons or is it only a business decision...? Well, you normally don't ride more than 200km, but I really miss that feature when planning longer holiday trips. I would appreciate the GoogleMaps search without such limit. giro I am surprised that no one mentions the limitation of ViaMichelin search – bike routes are limited to 200km. At least for Europe.
