From list of POI to bike-optimized itinerary?

Hi! How would you calculate an itinerary going through 20-25 points optimized for going over there by bike?

I have a list of points of interest in a KML file which I’d like to visit, so I’d like to calculate an itinerary optimized for bike (avoiding high-traffic roads).

I was able to import it in MapQuest which can calculate and optimize an itinerary but only for a car.

I also found Brouter can calculate an itinerary for bike but it cannot optimize (and the optimal order of POI calculated by MapQuest is not ideal for a bike trip).

Also, I was able to import the POI in Brouter, but I couldn’t find how to calculate an itinerary from that (I had to click again near each imported POI on the map, which is tedious, of course).

Do you know of a good solution to this?

TIA

Mapping a gas station / convenience store
  • Decision of micro-mapping a gas station is a matter of how detailed you like it to be and is indirectly asking who will benefit from those details in &OpenStreetMap.

    If you think of a large station, it could be made of pumps, shop, technical buildings, parkings, picnic sites, decorative grass, bushes, flower beds, etc.

    Then, it becomes clearer the filling area is that: the filling area. So, shop, picnic sites, grass, etc. are part of the gas station but not of the filling area.

    Where that area exactly starts and stops is your judgment call based on visual clues like curbs, painted lines, differences in ground surface and elevation, etc.

  • The wiki page gives a decent explanation, including pumps, shop, surroundings, etc.
