Personally I would expect a road bike to be usable on 100% of paths on a maps suggested route. I would really like something that could look at my strava history and make suggestions for other routes or trails to try, though.
I drive a vintage corvette and think google maps should map zero gravel or dirt roads because I dont want my paint chipped. Google should only map paved roads because of what I drive. Sounds ridiculous yea?
Despite it clearly being called a “road” bike you expect it to be usable on all paths?
I mean I’d be with you if by path you mean pavement or bikepath but there are an awful lot of paths that don’t meet that criteria. If you want to be able to do all paths, buy a gravel bike at the very least.

I would love for them to provide more diversity in their options for bike directions, great idea.

There’s a flag to avoid highways, should be one to avoid gravel/dirt roads.
I agree

They mean maps should only suggest paved paths.
They could have said that.
They said “all paths on a maps suggested route”
I was under the impression OP looked at something like Google reviews on Maps and this isn’t a suggested route to get somewhere.
