Subject: Bike Navigation App
I've searched the BT site, so I hope I'm not asking a question that has been beaten to death. I'd like to ride more places, and I often don't know the best route. My iPhone has Google Maps on it, and I can set it to walking directions, but as soon as I get over about 10-15mph, it switches to driving directions.
Does anyone have an app that I can plug in two addresses and it will give me voice directions for the bike?

Also the iPhone comes with its on map app. This does exactly what you want with entering to points and getting nav directions.

I don't know if you can update google maps or not but the internet version has bike as a transportation option. I have an s4 and maps has it there also.

Added hiccup. Which of these programs will avoid dirt and gravel roads?

Not a map, but the Hammerhead is a bike-specific product for navigation. I think it works with your smartphone, and they say it gives simple instructions for navigation using its display

(I have no connection to this company at all and have no opinion about the device)

Strava added "routes" to their mobile app a few months ago:

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.  You design the routes on your computer and then you can use them from your phone.  

So far they still don't have audio/voice prompts.  You have to actually look at the screen.
