The development team Yandex.Cards announced the launch of the new opportunities. Now Yandex.Maps allow you to plot Cycling routes.
The service will show you how to get by bike from one point to another, and calculate approximate travel time. The route can be build on both the computer and smartphone. The owners of devices on Android this feature is already available, and on iOS it will appear in the coming days.
When building routes Yandex.Maps give priority to roads, which is convenient to ride a bike. It’s bike paths or, for example, tracks in the forest parks. The path can run on roads, but a detour multilane routes.
Cycle routes can build inhabitants of Moscow, St. Petersburg and other Russian cities, but outside the capitals feature works in beta mode. On the map of Moscow also noted the rental “Bicycle” — if you click on a label, the service will report how many bicycles are free. In addition to Cycling and road routes, Yandex.Maps can make routes for pedestrians and for public transport.
