Hi Richard, 

Do you have any plans to extend the mapping regions covered? I have a particular interest in Turkey, Georgia & Azerbaijan and would love to use your app in those countries too.

Many thanks

Jon

Yup, adding Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan is an excellent idea. More regions to travel.

I would like to! Essentially it’s a question of resources: more countries = more server space = more expense. The routing profile also needs a bit of tuning for each country, sometimes to take account of local traffic laws (e.g. whether bikes are permitted on trunk roads) but also to choose the most appropriate routes based on surface/traffic levels etc. That’s particularly tricky in countries like Azerbaijan as there’s less street-level imagery to sanity-check it against.

But knowing which countries people want is really useful feedback – thank you. I can’t promise it’ll be particularly soon but it is something I’d like to do.
