Thing is:
Switzerland has the best cycling network I know of, with perfect signage along the routes. The network is quite dense. One can check it at https://veloland.ch/
Whenever I'm cycling in Switzerland, I like it because I won't have the need to get directions from the smartphone.

Sometimes one wants to cycle a route that doesn't map directly onto a marked route, or it uses several routes with more than one option.

I've been using Google Maps for cycling directions, after checking how well it aligns with the routes given by komoot.com and cycle.travel.

I doubt I'll switch to Apple Maps, but who knows. I'm certainly going to give it a go. I think whichever option (Google or Apple) gives the most accurate elevation details is the one I'll stick to.

Apple Maps now offers cycling navigation in Switzerland and Sweden, allowing users across the country to receive turn-by-turn directions while riding a bike (via iGen.fr).

iPhone users in the Swiss Confederation and Sweden began receiving notifications about cycling directions overnight. Apple Maps provides cycling directions along bike lanes, bike paths, and bike-friendly roads wherever possible, including details like steep inclines, how busy a street is, and whether there are stairs or other obstacles along a route.

If you have an Apple Watch, voice guidance and haptic feedback also make it easier to stay focused on your direction of travel.

Cycling directions came to Apple Maps in iOS 14, and are also available across the United States, China, and Japan, as well as in select major cities around the world, such as London, Barcelona, and Toronto. Apple maintains a list of all of the areas where cycling directions are available on its website, but as of writing this, it has not yet been updated to include Switzerland and Sweden.

(Thanks MacRumors forum member Virtuality for Sweden!)

When is Dennark and the Netherlands voming, they are cycle country’s and with car nav. You’ll not get where you wanna get but end up on the highway with your little bike. Or at stairs when using walking directions… 🤔
 
Way too late. Nobody in the right mind is using Maps.

Well, they do have 6 countries and 5 cities covered!
