Unless any actual new signs have gone up it still should be. Easiest place to check the OSM routes is at the OSM based site: <a href="http://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org/en/">cycling.waymarkedtrails.org</a> (don't miss the 'Routes' button in the bottom right corner - nor the links to the other 'waymarkedtrails' sites in the top right corner for that matter) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15737#post-204065 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:28:53 +0000 Cyclingmollie 204065@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think the Open Street Map is still better. For example, on the CEC map the path alongside the Range (formerly Big W) seems to just stop when it reaches Milton Road. But the Open Steets map shows what it really does which is to pass under the Milton Link roundabout and emerge on the pavement a short way from the cut through into Christian Crescent and the quiet route down into Portobello. The CEC map omits the CC cut through as well. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15737#post-204059 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 09:30:13 +0000 Chug 204059@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Great spot. I still find these useful for parts of the city I don't know.</p> <p>Still bits missing though - e.g. the cut through in front of Firrhill High School and the back entrance(s) to Craiglockhart Tennis centre - which is a shame </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15737#post-204053 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 01:30:04 +0000 Klaxon 204053@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I hope if there's a wall of these in the council offices maybe they'll start seeing gaps to fill as quick win small projects </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15737#post-204051 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 00:07:56 +0000 drnoble 204051@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Would also be interesting to compare this to the OpenStreetMap cycle layer, which I think has most if not all of those mapped, plus a few more in places.<br /> I wonder if the council are going to sign the other quiet routes, marked brown on those maps. Hopefully they will do it with names rather than just numbers if they are going to spend money on signage, so that people can use the signs without a map. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15737#post-204043 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 22:17:29 +0000 HankChief 204043@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just spotted that CEC gave updated their downloadable maps of cycle routes around Edinburgh including the QuietRoutes (new name for Family Network).</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/download/370/explore_edinburgh_by_bike_maps">linkeee</a></p> <p>They are actually pretty good (apart from splitting the city up into 8 maps - unlike the Spokes one stop shop)</p> <p>I like the fact they show which cycle path entry points have steps and which don't, as well as the QuietRoutes.</p> <p>CEC have previously given us lots of the old version to handout at work to potential cycle commuters. Quite a few of them had to have route 9 scrawled on in pen - it'll be nice not to have to do that with this version. </p>
