Try the new scenic route algorithm instead...
Yahoo researchers are crowdsourcing the underlying 'scenic' information.
As we're heavily using a shortest path algorithm for our commuting project, this really struck a cord. One of the questions we're often asked by pedestrian and cycling commuters is how do we account for things like safety on cycling routes (the safest route may not be the quickest one!) and scenery. Nice to think that Yahoo is out there solving that part of our puzzle :)
