What it does
Komoot helps people discover, plan and navigate outdoor routes. Its planner distinguishes road cycling, mountain biking and hiking, while route discovery can be filtered by distance, difficulty and public-transport links.
Begin with the activity rather than drawing the same line for every outing. A road-bike route and a hiking route need different surfaces, and Komoot's sport-specific planning is built around that difference. Collections offer another starting point if you prefer adapting an existing tour.
The app promotes turn-by-turn voice guidance and downloadable routes for offline use. A free account is offered for discovery and planning; review the map and navigation access relevant to the region you intend to use. Before leaving, compare the chosen route with current local conditions and the amount of activity you want to undertake.
A new account receives one single map region free. Additional map access is offered as a single region, region bundle or world pack, each described without recurring costs. Check that the map area covers the whole planned outing before relying on voice guidance or offline navigation.
