That would have been handy for our German trip back in April.
Not everywhere though, FF
Better than it was though.
I don't think we'll get it all overnight after it's been in abeyance for all those years.
Glass half full me - it's going in the right direction.
FF ?

Fat fingers.
The Germans relenting over Streetview is very good news. I used it quite a lot, planning my jaunt to the Eifel, right down to finding a cafe which I vaguely remembered from the past but hadn’t taken a note of. That it links seamlessly with MyRoute, is just a bonus.
Likewise, Use it to plan my stops for a quick mid morning/afternoon coffee or lunch stops etc, somewhere scenic with a bit of a view etc is always a bonus.
I would plan the route, then approximately according to the traveling timeline/distance find a nearby town I am passing through or just to the side of to stop at.
On a map, it might show as it being on the side of the river bank next to a bit of green, and seemingly all is hunky dory, but Google street view will reveal, that it is in fact a fairly typical small town in rural France, with everything shuttered up and not much else happening, as it is often the case in France.
In big(ger) cities, towns I like to check for any possible parking in close proximity to the route I am traveling, but also to a cafe/restaurant I might wish to pay my custom to, thus neutralising the need to spend more than necessary amount of time wondering about in full bike gear, looking for that cafe/restaurant.
