What's New

Whether you're heading out before sunrise or planning routes late at night, Dark Mode makes komoot easier on the eyes in low-light conditions. Or if you just want komoot to finally match the rest of your phone settings, Dark Mode is here.

Sometimes you don't want the big climb to come as a surprise. Komoot now automatically detects climbs and descents along your route, so you can quickly spot the toughest sections before you head out. During navigation, you'll also see your live progress on each climb, including how much is still left to go. That means less second-guessing the elevation profile and a better sense of what's still ahead.

The iOS Route Planner has been completely rebuilt with a cleaner layout, smoother editing, and easier Waypoint management.

More planning tools from Web are now available on Mobile too, so it's easier to fine-tune a route whether you're planning from the couch or making changes on the trail. The whole experience feels faster, clearer, and much easier to work with on the go.

Sometimes you’re planning a route and want to mark a specific place along the way—like a water stop, wild camping spot, or meeting point.

Previously, you could add any location as a waypoint, but you couldn’t give it a custom name or category. This made it harder to remember what each point represented or to share that context with others using the same route.

Now, you can customize waypoints on Android and Web by adding a name and category that … Continue reading

In the past, information about upcoming Highlights, Points of Interest, and Saved Places (and how far away they are from your current position) wasn’t available during navigation, meaning you were missing key information—for example, where the next water refill point is.

Now, the list of places (and the distance remaining to each one) is available as you navigate. View or hide the list using the handy toggle at the top right of the screen. You’ll … Continue reading

 If you love connecting with friends over outdoor adventures, then this update is for you.

Now, the completed activity summary on Android and iOS has a fresh design, so you can share your unforgettable journeys and keep a record of your adventures on social media or your phone. 

If you try it, we’d love to see your adventures—tag us on Instagram with @komoot.

Collections conveniently bundle saved routes, activities, and Highlights into one place to easily plan a new trip or revisit an old one. However, searching through hundreds of Collections to find the one you’re looking for can take up valuable exploring time. 

Now, you can filter or sort Collection libraries by sport, location, elevation, or distance to find options that match your requirements. Plus, search a Collection library by name to find … Continue reading

Now, everything you need to navigate and record an activity is available right on your wrist. That means it’s now possible to leave your phone in your pocket—or even at home—as you explore the outdoors.

Offline navigation with the Apple Watch app is available to all users with an unlocked map region, no subscription required.

What’s included:

Detailed maps including trails, paths, and street details, and the option to zoom in and pan around your … Continue reading

When you’re out on a long journey, gas stations are sometimes the only places to pick up snacks or water. Now, they have their own Point of Interest category, so you can find one along your route, stock up, and even use a real bathroom!

👟 A customizable Pace Control

In the past, … Continue reading
