I had Nebula for a while, I did the $6 monthly plan. I got rid of it because I’m a broke bitch, but I really enjoyed the platform and there are many creators on there.
It also offers a Lifetime membership, currently $300. Nebula is very transparent that this is not intended to be a good deal for customers. You should only do this if you strongly dislike recurring costs, and/or if you want to support Nebula. The CEO has stated that this is their alternative to seeking venture funding. It allows them to raise large amounts of money for more expensive investments (such as Nebula Originals, including Jason Slaughter’s upcoming “Day Pass”), without selling out their ownership to corporate interests.
To be honest, I find Google Maps pretty poor for cycling even in Australia. For some of the same reasons they’re bad in the Netherlands. A high tendency to send you on busier roads (though here that means actually dangerous, rather than just a bit uncomfortable and noisy), and not really understanding the difference between an on-road bike lane, a dedicated bike path, and a quieter bike-friendly street.
My go-to is Ride With GPS. It gives you the ability to do manual routing if you want it, and frankly I usually do use that, but its defaults are a lot better than Google.
Yeah I’ve used them as well and the automatic routing is not so good. I can put 2 points 3 feet from each other and it will route them around a 2 mile detour randomly.

I had that happen to me with Google Maps walking directions recently. I worked out pretty confidently that the reason was because Google thought it was a one-way path, because the detour would stop happening if I swapped the start and end locations.
GMaps is horrible not only as a service that forces you to enable all their spyware technologies or lose most of the functionality, not only it’s hostile to any other mapping applications and makes it literally impossible to even copy the coordinates (I’m not even talking about converting links or using geo-uri’s), but even within itself it’s absolutely horrible for any non-car activity: hiking, walking, cycling, running, commuting — the UX of all that is absolutely abysmal.
So if you find a solution that works for you without GMaps (and preferably the one that contributes back to something like OSM), good for you, stick to that solution a forget that absolute garbage produced by Google.
I have a close friend that drives an F150 like the one in the thumbnail. I give him relentless shit for it. The only guy I don’t give shit to is the one who uses it to tow boats on a daily basis.
@pruwybn As I explained when I quoted this, our trucks genuinely weren't always massive like this, neither were our cars in general. I'm using this example because it's just on my brain right now, but a stock S10 from any year they were made in the US, is going to be significantly smaller than a stock Colorado you can pick up off the lot right now.
Alt text: They really shouldn’t let those small cars drive in traffic. I worry I’m going to kill someone if I hit one! They should have to drive on the sidewalk, safely out of the way.
