Almost-Satnav For Cycling

An anonymous reader writes "A couple of guys (us) in Cambridge have written a cycle routing system, CycleStreets.net, based on open data, and have now released it as a free iPhone app. It's been done on a shoestring, in spare time. There's an API and some disruptive tech in the form of a photo submission screen where street problems can be submitted directly. Because it's open data, you don't have to wait 6 months for the routing to be fixed if there's a bug. Android and .mobi versions are in the works, with the apps being done on GitHub."

you say? Submission by anyone you say? Finally I can get those self righteous morons in Portland to ride into the river.

UK? WTF?

Hey... I thought it was clear that slashdot was an American based, American centric summary site. Ok, pretty cool I guess... if I get a new iPhone and find myself cycling in UK... with a mountain of money to pay for overseas roaming.

That look of disgust on your wife's face is the realization that she could have done better.

No, we are. That's why they must be contained in a shield of lycra and spandex. You know, lest they escape.
