Mapping with Google's - Mapmaker coming this month

I've been organising bike rides for the past few months now and growing frustrated with the lack of mapping technology that allows me to find a bike route and GPS navigate it on a ride.
Most maps the councils provide are pdfs so not very interactive. So I find myself either trying to take photos of a map and trying to memorise it or using google maps to guide me as best as I can.

I'm looking forward to Google's Mapmaker relaunch this month - which should make adding more mapping data easier.

My first mission once it gets relaunched is to add more bike paths to help people cycle around on safer streets and with more confidence.
