What is new.

The map loads your area, not the world. It downloads only the regions you are looking at, so it starts faster and uses far less data. Other regions load when you go there.

Search everywhere, routes included. With Everywhere on, the search finds our places in every country, and the Routes box adds routes to the results. Pick one and it opens on the map.

Pins show how recently someone checked. A place nobody has confirmed for 6 months has an orange border, for 12 months a red one.

The map key is complete. The Map key panel explains every mark on the map with an example of each, and the badges on the pins are bigger and easier to read.

Similar places before you add one. When you add a place, the form lists places of the same kind nearby. Mark the ones that are the same place, and yours replaces them once it is approved.

The bug panel keeps your draft. It says when it kept an unsent report for you, and one button clears everything.

Faster pages when you are not signed in. Best of and the other public pages load faster, also after you open a page that asks you to sign in. Once you sign in, pages are made for you and load at the usual speed.

Confirm your email before you sign in. A new account can sign in once its email address is confirmed. The link in the email works for 24 hours. An expired link takes you to a page where you can ask for a new one.

Ride with us on Strava. The footer links the Cycling Commons club on Strava.

The map says where it does not reach yet. Outside the countries it covers, a banner says so and shows how to help bring one in.

Mark a climb's steepest point. The climb editor lets you mark where a climb is steepest, and long climbs now get their gradient profile too.

English and Dutch. The site is served in English and Dutch; an address in another language leads to one of the two.

Password reset in your language. The reset email comes in the language you use the site in, with the link also written out as text.

Reporting a bug is easier. The bug button can take a screenshot of the page for you, the panel can be made bigger, and it answers in your language.

Every picture is checked before anyone sees it. Screenshots in bug reports are virus-scanned and redrawn in the background, and photos from Wikimedia Commons are always shown from our own copy.

Towns on the map. A town now opens a card of its own, marked with the site's own pin.

The map's data refreshes itself. Every night the site re-reads OpenStreetMap for the regions it covers, so what you see is days old at most, not months.

Road surface and routes, rebuilt weekly. The surface and route layers are regenerated on a schedule instead of by hand.

Every photo is scanned before it appears. An upload is checked in the background, and published only once it has passed.

Accounts that were never confirmed are removed. If a sign-up is never completed, the record does not linger.

The map. Places, climbs and routes across nineteen countries, with a surface layer, satellite and street-level imagery, and a light and a dark theme.

Photos. Contribute a photo to any place, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. Location data is stripped before publication, and every photo has a page of its own.

Routes. Propose a route from a GPX file, vote on the ones you have ridden, and see the best of a region.

Contributing. Add and correct places from the map itself, confirm that something is still there, and follow what a curator decided and why.

Accounts. Optional public profile, two-factor sign-in, a full data export, and account deletion that takes effect immediately.

Five languages. English, French, Dutch, German and Spanish, with a way for riders to propose a better translation.

The paperwork done properly. A privacy notice that names every processor, an accessibility statement that lists what does not work yet, and a contact route that reaches a person.
