Garmin often proposes roads that are simply impassable on a mountain bike. This can cause inconvenience, frustration and potentially dangerous situations for mountain bikers.
Garmin has developed algorithms to provide specific directions, but the problem arises when these directions are based on hiking maps, which are not adapted to the needs of mountain bikers.

Garmin, a well-known brand specialising in GPS devices, offers a wide range of useful functions for outdoor enthusiasts, including cyclists. However, there has been a problem with Garmin's hiking directions for cyclists
Hiking roads and mountain bike trails can be very different in terms of terrain, difficulty and accessibility. Hiking roads are designed for pedestrians and can include narrow paths, steps, rough terrain and even sections that are not accessible to bicycles. Cyclists, on the other hand, require wider paths, stable surfaces and fewer obstacles.
When Garmin suggests hiking routes to cyclists, it may direct them to trails or paths that are unsuitable for mountain bikes. This can lead to problems such as paths that are too narrow or steep, watercourse crossings without bridges, passages that are impossible to cross by bicycle, or even protected areas where access by bicycle is prohibited. This can cause inconvenience, frustration and potentially dangerous situations for cyclists.
To solve the problem of incorrect Garmin indications for cyclists, several solutions can be considered. Firstly, it is essential to improve the accuracy of the available maps and data, clearly distinguishing hiking routes from mountain bike routes.
Conclusion:
Garmin's hiking directions for cyclists, which often propose roads that are impassable on a mountain bike, are a significant problem for outdoor cyclists. However, by carefully distinguishing between hiking and mountain biking routes and implementing specific features for cyclists, the navigation experience can be improved and greater safety ensured. We hope that Garmin will address this issue soon to better meet the needs of its cyclist users.
