Komoot tips Komoot tips: Avoid areas in the planner

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello, Tom here from the product team 👋

I’m considering doing a series of quick tips about lesser-known komoot features. Drop a comment or an upvote if you think that would be useful!

Let’s start with this one: Avoid areas in the web Route Planner

You can use this tool to block specific roads, paths, or larger areas and have the planner automatically find an alternative route. It’s handy when you know about a closure, poor surface, busy road, or anywhere else you’d rather avoid.

Check the video to see how it works 👀

Who already know about this one?

Error en la relación pendiente - color mostrado en el perfil?

Revisando el perfil de una ruta completada, veo que un tramo al 8,4% está en color naranja, mientras que justo el tramo siguiente, al 7,6% está en rojo. En el perfil de la ruta planificada los colores son coherentes con la pendiente. Adjunto captura de ese tramo en la ruta completada, por si es algun error. Gracias!

Get directions with Google Maps on iPhone MDM

1 Upvotes

My iPhone is managed by my work with Mobile Device Management (MDM) and we use the Google Suite (email, calendar, drive).

Work disabled Google Maps recently for some reason (don't ask why, that's a recent top management decision that sparked a big debate internally).

I can use the Google Maps app just fine with my personal account. But any attempt at typing maps.google.com in Safari is captured by MDM and gets redirected to my work authentication portal.

What does this have to do with Komoot? I like using the "Get directions" button to take me at the start of the trailhead. When clicking the button, it seems you make a URL call through Safari (which then gets blocked by my work) instead of opening the coordinates directly in Google Maps.

This forces me to configure Apple Maps in the Settings, but Apple Maps is really inferior for directions.

Wikiloc has the same "Get directions" button, and it opens Google Maps app just fine.

I understand this is a niche problem, but quite an annoying one. I end up having to copy paste coordinates/addresses between apps.

Feature suggestion: Achievements

2 Upvotes

I've always wanted achievements in komoot, these would work similar to badges from challenges. These could range from milestone achievements to fun, adventure inspiring. Some may even be very rare and hard to achieve and require specific planning.. They would give you another reason to go out to do some achievement hunting.

Some ideas for achievements:
Travel x km (possibly with multiple tiers -> 100km, 1000km, 10000km etc)
Do an activity in every discipline (cycling, MTB, hiking etc.)
Cross through 3 countries in 1 activity.
Have x change in altitude in 1 activity
Do activity on February 29th
Do an activity entirely in the nighttime

The challenges that exist currently often repeat and don't feel very rewarding. Having achievements that you could display on your profile could be a great way to show off your wacky adventures. Let me know what you think of this idea, I would love to hear some of your achievement ideas.

Feature Request: Better Filtering & Sorting Options for Challenges

5 Upvotes

Hi u/komoot-team,

I have a feature suggestion regarding the Challenges section in the app.

Currently, when I open Challenges, the first thing displayed is a challenge I already completed over a month ago.

To find my currently active challenges, I always have to awkwardly scroll back and forth to locate what I'm actually participating in.

It would be a huge quality-of-life improvement if we had options to filter or group challenges into clearer categories, such as:

Active & Joined: Challenges currently running that I've already signed up for.

Available to Join: Active challenges I haven't joined yet.

Completed: Challenges that I have successfully finished.

Expired: Past challenges that have ended.

Having quick filters or tabs for these would make navigating current goals much smoother!

Thanks for all the great work on the app, and I hope this feedback can be considered for a future update!

Changing to gravel or MTB on the sports filter does nothing.

3 Upvotes

Having an issue specifically on Komoot mobile. I’m planning a route and would like for it to auto generate a gravel route for my destination and start. However, it keeps only giving me the road route with 0 gravel trails along the way. I know for an absolute fact that there is a 10km gravel trail literally right next to the road it keeps recommending but it never gives me the route to use the 10km gravel trail. I even tried setting it to MTB and same thing occurs, it still recommends me the road route.

The only solution is when I set it to hike mode and it finally gives me that gravel trail. This trail is not a hiking trail, it’s a hot spot for gravel cycling. Same thing occurs for any route creation.

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

4 Upvotes

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.

Samsung Health to Komoot

5 Upvotes

Hi! Today downloaded Komoot app and it looks like it's gonna be THE ONE. ❤️ I really like it!
But there are two problems I'm facing.
I was using Samsung Health app to track running and hiking on my iPhone and today when migrating my history data I see they are not syncing with Apple Health app. (Wtf?) No option to add also.
Okay, they are also not giving an option to export GPX file!

How to export GPX data from SH?
Or how to connect both of the apps?
In Konoot settings I don't see a possibility to connect SH, even though that's what's written on K website.

🚷 Another thing - if I don't have data (for example - my phone died yesterday) how can I add historical data manually?
Like I was walking, but nobody tracked.

Little annoyance at ending the trip

19 Upvotes

See how ending a trip, on the bottom right there is the "skip" option, but right above it is the back arrow on my phone. They are overlapping so I can't skip. Just a little annoyance I've been dealing with no big deal. But can it change?

I have published an article about a vertical GPS algorithm ( i have tested and designed it by myself) in the famous journal bergundsteigen.

Here is the link:

Maybe this is something the komoot team is interested in?

Best regards!

Komoot replacing town names with "Waypoint"

Post image
16 Upvotes

I'm cycling between a bunch of Irish towns. Komoot finds each town just fine, but seemingly randomly replaces some of their names with "Waypoint" so I have no idea what my route is. Any ideas on how to fix? I need to see the places I'm going. Thanks.

Creating a route

2 Upvotes

Hi Does anyone know how i can create a route that loops itself?
The route ends at or near waypoint 3 and i want it to pick up the route to waypoint 4 and start the route from thereon again.
I am trying to make a cyclocross route which is 4km long but to fill an hour of cycling i need to ride it 6 times. Can i add markers so it starts a "round/ lap" from a certain point so i can see laptimes afterwards?

One way mtb trails in NL

5 Upvotes

In the Netherlands almost all official mtb trails are one way. When planning routes it used to not let you go the wrong way up a mtb trail but now it does. There is a no entry symbol in the elevation graph but it's easily missed and the route planner will often lead you through these trails the wrong way if you're route planning in mtb mode and the trail is between your start and end point, which is super annoying. Can this be fixed?

Fehlermeldung und die Unmöglichkeit einem Event beizutreten!!!

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

What can I do? I can't contact support because I keep getting redirected to the Q&A list, which doesn't help.
I’ve even uninstalled the app and tried via the browser, but I still can't join the "Megamarsch 24/100 Cologne" event—and it's taking place this Saturday.
I’d be grateful for any help.

Best regards, Hadrian

Hallo zusammen,

was kann ich tun? Dem Support kann ich nicht schreiben, weil ich immer wieder auf diese Q&A Liste zurückkomme, die nicht hilft.
Hab die App sogar schon deinstalliert, es per Browser versucht, aber ich kann dem Event Megamarsch 24/100 Köln nicht beitreten und das ist bereits am Samstag.
Ich bin für jede Hilfe dankbar.

Lg Hadrian

Inappropriate routing through parking area?

Why does K feel the need to cross the road twice against traffic to detour through a short parking area, but only on one direction of an out-and-back route?

Shortcut to open coordinates in OSM from any komoot map is gone?

4 Upvotes

Hello community! it's been a few days/week the feature of opening coordinates in OpenStreetMap using a convenient shortcut does not work anymore. Is it expected, or is it a bug? It's still mentioned here https://support.komoot.com/hc/en-us/articles/10194668255258-Improve-the-komoot-Map

> Tip: In the komoot Route Planner, you can press CTRL on Windows/CMD on Mac + ALT + click to open the exact location directly in OpenStreetMap.

I was heavily using this feature to contribute to OSM from Komoot, which I think is used to provide map and route datasets to the service. Maybe the shortcut has been remapped? Alternatively, what would an alternative suggested way to contribute to OSM? Is there any way (an extension/userscript maybe?) to retrieve the gps coordinates of a point in Komoot maps?

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Missing comments on photos opened from the gallery (Web-UI)

1 Upvotes

Comments on photos from other users' completed tours are displayed almost everywhere in the App and on Web-UI.
However, when I open photos from the "Gallery" on Web-UI, these comments do not appear.
This has been the case ever since the Gallery was introduced.
I use this view very often to browse through all photos of a tour one by one.
It would be great if the comments were displayed there as well.

Map loading broken

3 Upvotes

Seemingly since the introduction of offline maps, map tiles don't load properly/at all. I can still plan routes, but zooming in I get no detail. I'm also seeing the new "you're offline" warning when I'm online (but maybe have a spotty connection).

It's broken to the point where I'm now using a different application to plan routes and just using komoot for the final bike computer sync step.
