At risk of summoning an army of vibe coders, I wish map apps were more configurable and let you set "I'm happy to walk 20 min" or "someone can drive me a few miles and drop me off"

The public transport app in my city almost does this well, it even affords cycling. But it isn’t quite as nuanced as one would like.

It's not exactly what you asked for, but the public transit and multimodal focused apps are generally much better at this stuff. I like CityMapper and Transit.

Neither is good for turn-by-turn directions, but both are good for "what are all the different ways to get there"

I wish I could add certain streets and routes to some sort of block list.

There are certain roads I would be willing to spend an extra 10-30 minutes driving to avoid. (And certainly would not get on them on a bike!)

Not to mention “public transit but with a waypoint” which is too advanced for all mobile apps
