@jezhiggins I note that in https://github.com/cyclestreets/android/blob/master/libraries/cyclestreets-fragments/src/main/java/net/cyclestreets/MainSupport.java#L51-L57 we have support for cycle.st and m.cyclestreets.net URLs.

I appreciate this issue is 4 years old; but can you give any specifics of what support you had in mind for this?

If someone has the app installed, and they follow a link (e.g. on Twitter) to e.g.
https://www.cyclestreets.net/location/80/
this should open the app at that photo location, not the browser.

Same applies to /journey/.../ IDs, etc.

m.cyclestreets.net are the URLs used by the mobile version of the site, and cycle.st are the shortened versions that appear right at the bottom of the page when you planned a journey. As they were both cyclestreets URLs it seemed reasonable (and safe) to register to open those up with in the app.

It's straightforward enough to extended through the cyclestreets URL space.

We could also, and this is potentially a little more controversial, register to open Google Maps location URLs - so for example if someone clicks a location on a calendar entry it could open in the app - or,
even more controversially, Google Maps routing URLs. Well, I say controversial, it was at the time, but less so now. CityMapper, OS Maps, etc, all offer to open location URLs. I haven't checked, but it may well be officially supported behaviour these days.

We now do CycleStreets location URLs - see merged PR #319. Leaving this issue open to track the possibility of doing geo location URLs.
