Could you be more specific about how one gets "the data about a street and what other streets intersect it" from the Google Maps API Web Services? I'm not seeing it.

Many online maps are low contrast so that overlays (e.g. tracks in different colors, polygonal areas, markers) will stand out. With the OpenStreetMap data, one can set up their own rendering styles; here are some examples.

In addition to uMap, you might look into MapBBCode.

Really? OpenStreetMap can have speed limits and turn restrictions, and also where restrictions are enforced. I'm wondering how you concluded that "obsolete by design" and "lack of planning" applied to OpenStreetMap.

Can said bike lane exposure be verifiably tagged?

Unlike Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap doesn't allow anonymous edits. So vandalism is rare.

Your summary of the the purported border width says 100 km (62 miles), but the actual claim is 161 km (100 miles), as seen in your excerpt. Watch those units!

I have a 6 and a 3 year old and I will second this recommendation. Both of my kids used this a lot. It is pretty good training on how to use a mouse and it is creative. I pretty much limit their usage it to this and letting the older one go on the PBS Kids webpage though you might not like that as much if you are strict on TV.

I would rather be forced to drink a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster.

And no Cowboy Neal option either.
