Bicycle route done?

[papadeltasierra]

Have TomTom quietly removed the bicycle route option or is there some magic required to bring it back? Don't use it that often but I do (or at least did!) use it occasionally.

Sigh! Don't remember getting any notification of this reduced service, or a partial refund from my subscription :-(.

GO Navigation is optimized for car navigation.
With our latest map technology, we cannot guarantee an optimal route for cycling and walking so we have decided to remove these types of routes. Additionally, these route types are used less than 0.5% of the time by our current user base.

Afterwards you can always cancel your subscription.

Pity - one of the things I liked was that many other cycle routes planners prefer "quiet streets" and similar, many of which are actually far from quiet and often narrow and scary whereas your routes were often far more sensible. As a confident cyclist, I'd much rather use a main road with a cycle lane than a narrow "quiet street" but knowing where there were "just cycles in this direction" roads is also important of course.
