Komoot, Route Planning for Cyclists

The standard for gravel and bikepacking route planning. Komoot combines precise surface detection, offline maps, and community-sourced highlights into the most complete route building tool available for cyclists.

Komoot is the go-to route planning app for gravel riders, bikepackers, and anyone who prefers roads less travelled. Built around real surface data and a global community of riders, it turns route building from a guesswork exercise into a precise, reliable process.

How it works

Komoot uses surface detection technology to map terrain type across your entire route, distinguishing tarmac from gravel, dirt tracks, and singletrack. The result is an accurate picture of what a ride actually involves before you leave home. Offline maps cover every region worldwide, so connectivity on remote routes is never a limiting factor.

What sets it apart

Where most mapping tools show you a line on a map, Komoot shows you what that line is made of. Community highlights layer local rider knowledge directly onto routes, surfacing the climbs, viewpoints, and track conditions that no algorithm generates on its own. The combination of technical surface data and real-world input from a global cycling community is what puts Komoot in a category of its own.

Who it’s for

Komoot is the default planning tool for gravel riders and bikepackers who treat route quality as seriously as equipment choice. The free tier covers core planning and navigation. For riders who explore multiple regions, the full map library unlocks everything.
