You’re in luck I guess. Google maps here in Montreal is pretty bad with knowing protected bike lanes and safe routes. It will often send you in a car sewer when there is a perfectly safe route two streets over.
To me, Google maps has outdated data for cycling. It’s confused by contraflow lanes. It also often shows pedestrian paths as cycling paths. And it doesn’t have all the paths and even if you write to them to correct a path, they will not.
I still use Google maps because of how easy it is for turn by turn amd I didn’t find anything to replace it yet. But I have to inspect the route and make changes on the fly because Google doesn’t know about modal filters and contraflow lanes.
Can I ask how you edit bike paths on Google maps? All I’ve ever been able to do is fill reports (the feedback system) that seems to be ignored. Everything I find about this says to use the feedback system. But I’ve done it a few times and it worked for something about a road, many years ago, but I tried it a few times again for bike paths and nothing was corrected.

Tbh I just edit Google maps when it’s wrong.
I’d rather be contributing that effort to open street maps, but there just aren’t great turn-by-turn apps for that imo
