Our unique algorithm is designed to calculate the most scenic routes based on a variety of different factors.
These include aspects like the curviness of the roads, the level of urbanization, the condition of the road surface, and many other parameters. A key player in this is our Calimeter — a helpful tool that shows the curve intensity of a route directly during the planning process. Additionally, we use geodata, primarily sourced from the extensive OpenStreetMap database, as well as other reliable sources. We extensively process and refine this geospatial data to generate our own high-quality mapping material.
This approach allows us to visually highlight particularly winding routes, ensuring that our algorithm can always find the optimal route for you. By doing so, we make sure that your rides are not only safe but also exciting, allowing you to always enjoy the best possible riding experience.

I wish we could filter the Twisty Roads for minimum length, because sometimes the "twisty" bit is just a short boring road with a u-turn, or maybe a quick diversion to a roundabout! The real twisty roads should be minimum of several (5-10) km in length, and this would filter out many of the too-short not really twisty roads.
I wish we could bypass this all together when you simply find the fastest route
Hi @rikkiw94061 -sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Summer season has left us with a few more open roads than usual in the support lane. 😊 And thanks for sharing your idea! That’s an interesting suggestion.
We can definitely see how excluding very short “twisty” sections could make routes feel more natural and avoid unnecessary detours. I’ll gladly add your feedback to our internal collection so the team can consider it for future improvements.
Thanks again, and have a great ride!
Hey @mikeacce - thanks for your comment!
If you’re looking to get from A to B as quickly as possible, you don’t need to use one of the winding routing profiles. When planning your route, simply tap the current routing profile (for example, “Winding”) and switch it to “Fastest” or “Fastest without Highways.”
If that’s not quite what you meant, feel free to get in touch with us directly and we’d be happy to take a closer look!
