Sometimes you want to preview a destination along your route in Apple or Google Maps—say, to check the opening hours of a nearby bike shop or read reviews for a local café. 🗺️ Previously, getting there with komoot meant copying and pasting exact coordinates from Apple or Google Maps into the app. This latest change makes the process effortless: just tap “Share” on your chosen location in Apple or Google Maps, and open it directly in komoot. 📍 Now, there’s nothing standing between you and new bike gear, or a perfect (and well-deserved) latte. ☕️

No more guesswork: see where an activity was recorded at a glance. Previously, it took a deep dive to find out where an activity had been recorded. Now, the location is shown directly on your feed. This way, you no longer have to worry about seeing your dream route pop up on the feed just to find out after some digging that it’s… well, on a whole different continent. Decide instantly which routes to save for next time, and which ones to admire from a distance. 🗺️

Your routes are now effortlessly more scenic. 🌳 As you’re building a new route using the planner, komoot’s algorithm now prioritizes paths with more scenery whenever possible. This means that, for all sports (except road cycling), komoot will include any nearby lakes, forests, and parks in your route—provided they don't prolong your journey too much. Rest assured, you no longer have to skip the greener paths just to save a few minutes. ⛰️

We’re grateful to everyone who adds Highlights to help others plan better adventures on komoot. 🙏 But if we’re being honest, summit selfies aren't particularly helpful for route planning. So we’ve done a little bit of spring cleaning, removing photos that don't add much value or might even pose a privacy risk. That means selfies, shots of your bikes (as cool as they may be), and pics of the kids. Our goal is to keep the map scenic and inspiring—just like the adventures it helps you plan.

About a month ago, we reimagined our Photo Gallery with Trail View™, transforming it into an immersive, step-by-step walkthrough of the trail. With powerful filters, you can explore your trails photos by: 📆 Latest: See the newest photos, ordered by date 🏁 From start to finish: Follow the trail in order of distance 🥾 Trail View: Focus on shots of the path itself, ordered by distance ❄️ This time of year: Preview the seasonal conditions for when you plan to go Until now, this experience was only available for ready-made routes. But today, we’re excited to open it up for custom routes too. Whenever your planned route overlaps with areas where other komoot users have shared images, relevant photos will automatically appear—it’s like tapping into the collective knowledge of the komoot community. So go ahead: plan your next adventure, get inspired, and picture yourself out there. 🏞️
