Plan Journey

Before leaving for work, or if you just need directions to somewhere new, quickly type in where you are and where you're headed...
... and choose your route.

There are 3 choices:
Quietest: Avoids all major roads, longer route
Happiest: Chooses a direct route that avoids most major "stress points" from users data
Quickest: Takes the most direct route

The idea is that the more users of the app, the more data collated. From this data, patterns can be seen of consistent "stress points" and journeys can be chosen avoiding them. This means that the data will apply for most cyclists, avoiding re-routing because of a nervous cyclists' "stress points" which are irrelevant for more confident cyclists.


Idea:
It would be good if I could find a way of categorising stress points, like asking before tracking if the cyclist is a nervous/confident cyclist and record data according to this.
Then maybe when a journey is searched, this question can be asked again to only show relevant "stress points".
