Current issues as of 2011.07.01:

- No way to tell it to avoid dedicated bike trails

- No way to tell it to avoid roads with bike lanes (particularly those adjacent to parked car doors)

- Does not distinguish between paved/gravel/sand/dirt roads. Ideally road segments should be rated (by users) for suitability (and perhaps even delineated by road/mtb, or fast rider/slow rider). I've stopped using it because of it routing me on to sand or gravel roads.

- Does not avoid major or minor road construction or road closures.

- Cannot download a route to my GPS (Garmin 705), at least as far as I could find. Send/GPS only sends the destination point.
