What's New

Behind the scenes here the improvements never stop, and we’re excited to show you the latest boost to adventure finding on komoot. 

There’s a new menu layout in town and it’s the pretty face of improved usability, more logical route finding, and a boat load of smaller tweaks that, when grouped together, equal a seriously slick user experience. Kind of like the best hike you’ve ever done, with views, snacks, friends, surprise sights, and a smile … Continue reading

You’ll now see your streak in your komoot profile, helping you build the habit of adventure. 

Your streak is the number of weeks in a row you’ve recorded or uploaded an activity of 15 minutes or more, or multiple activities that add up to at least 15 minutes over the week. Why 15 minutes? The adventure streak isn’t about who can spend the most time outdoors or who can do the most distance. Instead, it’s a nudge to remind you to head outside … Continue reading

When you use the komoot map on your Garmin® device and have komoot Premium, you’ll now see the same sport-specific markings as you do when planning. This means official cycle, MTB, and hiking routes; MTB difficulty markers; and trailmarkers (on-trail directional marking or symbols, e.g. the Camino de Santiago scallop) will show up on your Garmin smartwatch or bike computer, depending on what sport you’re doing. This helps you better keep an … Continue reading

When you connect your Apple Health account with your komoot profile, you’ll now be able to see all your completed activities in komoot. This is a great way to see all your adventures in one place, share your hikes, rides, and runs from Apple on komoot, and add photos to your Tours. Got Apple Health? Just head to the Connections section of your komoot settings to get started.

You’ve been able to tap the heart icon on Tours and Collections for a while, but now we’ve added this icon to comments as well. This useful little social feature means you can show your appreciation for individual comments.  Just tap the icon beneath a comment to like it. Plus, if you’re on Android, you can also double-tap the comment to do the same. Tap the icon again to remove your like at any time. 

Interested to see who else has liked a … Continue reading

The group Tours feature allows you to invite others on your adventure, make live route updates, and keep everyone on the right track no matter their pace. Just head to one of your planned Tours and tap the ‘Organize a group hike’ (or ride, or run). Invite your adventure buddies and when you start navigating on the trails, your whole group gets a notification and can navigate the same Tour on their phones or Garmin® devices. Friends can even join … Continue reading

While we love a big feature release, our seemingly small improvements can make big impacts too. Over the last few months, we’ve been working on an array of updates and upgrades to our maps, improving clarity, inclusivity, and usability. 

Our latest map tweaks include:

Making nature reserves and other protected areas visually clearer to differentiate them from surrounding landscape

Switching the non-secular cross symbol for the more inclusive … Continue reading

You can now scan your new adventure buddy’s profile QR code and be taken straight to their komoot profile. Or, you can show them your profile’s QR code and they can follow you quickly and easily too. This makes it simple to follow new trail friends on komoot when you’ve met out in the wild. 

To share your QR code on the mobile app, just head your profile and click the share icon. On web, navigate to your profile and click ‘Share profile’ or … Continue reading

When searching for Tours, you’ll now see how many people have gone on that Tour as well as its star rating. Just like the star ratings all over the web, these show how previous folk have rated the route, from one to five. Five stars is the best, just to be clear!

This rating system has always been going on behind the scenes – remember after recording a Tour you’re prompted to rate the route with stars? That’s part of the data that goes into … Continue reading

On komoot.com, save your home address and use it as your starting point with one click – for only you to see. This makes it faster to find and plan a route as you don’t have to zoom all the way in to find your street. By saving your address, you’ll see a house icon on the map and nearby suggested routes will automatically adjust to begin from your doorstep when you click the icon and tap ‘Start Here’. 

Planning a route from scratch and want to … Continue reading

The route planner now uses official cycle routes and paths when your sport is set to ‘bike touring’. When there are official routes and paths near your start or end point, it’ll follow those if applicable, rather than choosing a more direct route. You’ll still get the direction and way points you want, but it’ll prioritize official cycle routes; this means you can be confident the route you’re on has been carefully created specifically for … Continue reading

Short, punchy hills are tough, even more so when they’re unexpected. We’ve been working hard to supercharge the elevation data in the route planner so you have a clearer, more accurate idea of what to expect when you’re out on your adventures. This means more accurate elevation figures as well as a more precise elevation profile chart, which depicts hills in finer detail so those short, punchy ones don’t get lost in the scale.
