I'm looking for an app where I can define roads it should not use, in order to avoid some legal to cycle but quite dangerous spots.

The apps I found are either (a) fully manual pathfinding or (b) fully auto pathfinding where I can add additional stops, but not substract dangerous locations.

Do you know any like that? What navigation apps do you use?

Thanks πŸš΄β€β™€οΈπŸš΄β€β™€οΈπŸš΄β€β™€οΈπŸš΄β€β™€οΈ

Osmand can do this. And basically anything else. I'm always mystified to find how many people haven't even heard of it, or use weak imitations like MapsMe or Organic Maps.

There's also brouter which acts as a routing companion app to Osmand. It's a bit of a pain to set up, but gives very good results.

The full version (OsmAnd+) is free on Fdroid (as OsmAnd~): https://f-droid.org/packages/net.osmand.plus
