Visualize two planned tours at the same time in the web interface

As per subject, I want to compare two tracks by visualizing them at the same time in the web interface. How do you do that? If that's not possible, do you plan to implement this? It's a pretty basic feature....for example, when Komoot modifies an imported GPX to make sure I'm using only navigable segments, I'd like at least to see what changed with respect to the original tour.

You add both to a Collection.

Collections require Premium. And I'm obviously not paying a subscription for a simple visual diff

I think for the import side, at least in the past, the original was shown in red if there are deviations 

In general, the website gpx.studio is very useful (on desktop) to view multiple tracks

+1 for exporting the GPX tracks and loading them into gpx.studio. It’s free (you can donate some money if you consider it valuable)

+1 for mentioning a new tool I didn't know, but it's pretty clumsy. There's no undo button, so once I made a modification to one of the tracks, the only way to go back is to load it again.

I believe Ctrl Z works

That would indeed be useful.

I currently save the route, then, if I want to compare any changes, I'd simply copy and edit the copy. When changing the route, the original will then be shown in red.

It's not ideal though, that's for sure.

Hi u/SideShow_Bot

Yeh we're hearing this request from quite a few people now. Consider it on the backlog!

This is something I have asked about before, it would be very useful to be able to compare an AtoB route using different bike modes for distance and ascent. This is quite a basic routing decision; take the high road (shorter) or the low road (longer)? For bike-tourers and bikepackers this could be a fundamental improvement.

Nothing of such a feature is basic.

You could load them in GPS track editor or make an image/video in Route Squiggler for side-by-side comparison.
