But I think it's a useful tool for checking a safe way to get to a location you don't normally go via bike. And I'm not suggesting anyone would sit there riding with their phone out as a gps guide. Just a useful tool the could encourage more bicycling as transport in general, not just commuting OR recreation.

If you do it every day and try different routes in different conditions you won't need an iphone to tell you how to do it. It can be a lot of fun. You arrive at work all reved up and ready to work. You come home all reved up and ready to do home chores. Tip of my helmet to fellow bike commuters. Put the phone away and ride. Commuter bicycling is an art, not a science.
