The Problem

Standard route planners like Google Maps optimize for travel speed, frequently directing cyclists and pedestrians through busy roads and traffic-heavy areas. Singapore's extensive PCN offers safe, beautiful alternatives, but these routes are consistently deprioritized by generic navigation tools.

  • Generic routing deprioritizes park connectors
  • Cyclists directed through busy arterial roads
  • PCN infrastructure underutilized in navigation

The Solution

AlwaysPCN puts park connectors first. Our weighted routing algorithm preferentially selects PCN segments, computing routes that maximize green corridor usage while still connecting your start and end points efficiently.

Key Features

Built with modern web technologies for performance and accessibility.

  • Park-Connector-Preferred Routing - Weighted algorithm prioritizes PCN segments
  • Visual Network Context - Color-coded road and connector overlays
  • Flexible Location Input - Place name geocoding or direct coordinates
  • Route Metrics - Distance and connector percentage tracking
  • Multiple Map Styles - Street, satellite, and dark mode views
