Plan routes from A to B anywhere in the UK, with a choice of routing modes to suit a range of cyclists from beginner through regular commuter to enthusiast. The Photomap lets you submit photos of infrastructure problems or good practice around the UK.
PLAN BIKE NAVIGATION FROM A TO B TO C
Select a start and finish point, plus intermediate waypoints, by tapping on the map, by searching for names/places/postcodes, or by using your current location, and tap to obtain the route. Uses the general street network, plus Sustrans and other routes.
CHOICE OF FOUR ROUTING MODES
The app produces routes that will suit most cyclists. It can optionally can find faster or quieter routes for different types of rider. Routes are fetched from the CycleStreets website.
HILLS? NO PROBLEM!
The journey planner knows about hills, and finds routes that take advantage of the descents and avoids the ascents where possible. It balances these against the available road types. The route can be displayed on a map with contours using the OpenCycleMap option.
STAGE-BY-STAGE ITINERARY
As well as the main map view, planned routes are loaded into an itinerary view, so you can follow each part of the journey. The street name, time and length are all shown, as is a detailed map for each individual stage of the journey. Routes are saved so you can also follow them again later.
PHOTOMAP
The Photomap is a cycling advocacy tool used by campaign groups around the country. Use it to browse examples of problems or good practice, and add your own pictures. Need more cycle parking in your favourite spot in town? Sign in with a free account and add a photo of it to the Photomap.
OPENSTREETMAP
Routing makes use of OpenStreetMap data, the brilliant 'geo-wiki' to which you can contribute. Note that, at present, some areas of the country have better coverage than others. Streets and paths of all kinds, including Sustrans routes and Local Authority network, are included. Routing quality is being developed all the time, with new types of cycling and street data being added and interpreted by the route planner.

Comments on CycleStreets journey planner for Android
★★★★★Ed Pearce· May 20, 2022
Has had its glitches, but now works really well for me. Centering, finding places and visibility have all improved, though the green and pink lines can still be tricky to see in bright sunlight. Most of all, it gives great cycle routes, finding quiet, efficient ways to navigate around London. Has the edge on City mapper and (cycle)streets ahead of Google Maps.
★★★★★Chris Misslin· Apr 9, 2022
Definitely not the easiest app to use for navigation. But really good for planning a journey and check options, routes, and spot check when traveling (I use another app for satnav per se). I used the app in UK, France, Italy, and Spain. From Malaga to London, a very good app to find your way in a city. Great to discover new places and new routes when cycling. Great for wandering. I had to uninstall and reinstalled when updating my phone as the automated transfer made the map disappeared.

Helped me navigate 12 miles from central London to suburbs on a very quiet route. Was easy to stay on track with the interface and the directions were audible as there wasn't much traffic. The app recalculated the route when I took a wrong turn due to inattention.

This used to be the best app for finding cycle routes in the UK (webpage version still works really well), but development seems to have ceased and now the app won't work anymore with newer versions of Android. A shame really since this app was quite unique in mixing free and open source maps with extremely thorough UK cycle route information. Looking for alternatives.

Just updated to Android 11, and now the map doesn't display at all. The offline map pack also won't work. I hope you can fix this soon!

Unsuitable for Milton Keynes. The routing within Milton Keynes is very poor. Although Google Maps cycle routing is a bit suspect in places, I found Cycle Streets to be much worse.
