Planning a Route with Komoot

This document provides a step-by-step process to plan a route using Komoot. You'll learn how to select your mode of transport, choose your start and end points, and customize your route with waypoints and points of interest. This guide is designed to help you efficiently plan your outdoor activities.

Step 1

Begin by selecting your preferred mode of transport. Decide whether you want to go by bicycle, hike, or run. For this example, choose the option to use a gravel bike.

Step 2

Next, click on 'Routes'. Initially, you will see a list of pre-planned gravel routes available near your location. You can click on any of these routes for more details, download, or edit them.

Step 3

For this tutorial, we will create a new route from scratch.

Step 4

On the left side of the window, enter the starting point and destination. Begin by entering 'Munich, Werksviertel' as your destination.

Step 5

Click on 'Set as Destination' to confirm your choice.

Step 6

The destination will now appear as point B on the map.

Step 7

Set your starting point. If your home address is already saved in Komoot, simply click on 'Home' and the route will be automatically planned.

Step 8

You can modify the route by adding new waypoints. This allows you to customize your journey.

Step 9

To add a waypoint, click on a place or street where you want to pass through, such as 'Pank'.

Step 10

Select 'Include in the route' to modify the path accordingly.

Step 11

You can adjust the route by moving the blue line. If there are waypoints, points of interest, or highlights in Komoot, you can choose to include them. For example, if you want to visit a chapel, select 'Include on my route' to incorporate it.

Step 12

Finally, click 'Save Route', give it a name, and it will be saved in your profile for future reference.
