New map app helps find the curviest roads around the world

As per the app, Italy & Japan are the two best places in the world for driving enthusiasts.

According to reports, a new Map app allows driving enthusiasts to find the curviest roads around the world. The new app called 'Curvature' is a Waze-like Map for enthusiasts, providing a colour-coordinated map highlighting the curviest roads across the planet.

As per reports, the app separates the roads into three colours: Yellow, Red and pink. The roads marked in yellow are mildly curvy while the pink roads are very twisty, with more time spent driving through corners than straights. The red-coloured roads are somewhere in between. The app also allows users to zoom in on a particular road to see a breakdown of the road's sections. Each of these sections is given a numeric "curvature value" ranging between 0 - 10,000 to determine how twisty it is - with any road below 300 said to be boring.

Talking about the app, Curvature is said to use data sourced from OpenStreetMap - a community-driven mapping project. It also has a proprietary road-curvature algorithm to determine which roads are the most fun to drive. As per the app, Italy & Japan are the two best places in the world for driving enthusiasts, with most of their roads covered in pink. A few other countries also include Mexico, Peru and the USA, to name a few.
