The geospatial web application we have chosen to examine is
bike routes on Google maps. A bike route is a section in the Google maps
application that allows users to locate a bike route or path. This is an
important aspect of the application because in towns with universities
especially, students use bikes as a major method of transportation. This allows
users to ensure there is a safe bike route that can take them to their
destination and tell them how long it should take from the starting point to
their destination. This is not only important for students as more and more
people everyday are using bikes as a method of short distance transportation
because it is the greener option of travel. As an example of this application,
below is a photo showing popular bike routes right here in Waterloo.
