About Komoot

Komoot is a route planner and navigation app for outdoor activities such as hiking, road cycling, mountain biking and running. Users generate routes tailored to their sport, such as smooth asphalt for a road bike, singletracks for mountain biking or quiet trails for hikes, and then follow them with turn-by-turn navigation on their phone. It is available as a mobile app for iOS and Android and as a website.

Discovery is built around community knowledge. People can find routes that suit them by filtering on distance, difficulty or public transport links, and they can share recommendations and tips from their own outings. A free account is enough to find, customize and navigate routes, and the web planner lets users prepare an outing before they leave. Komoot is a hosted commercial service from the vendor, so there is no self-hosted option.
