App to plan hiking and cycling routes

It is an application that allows you to plan routes and track of the same through the GPS. Leaves No stitch without thread since those routes are either drawn by hand or copied from the community. The disciplines that this app shares are hiking, cycling and also running.

Looking into the interface of Komoot

It is true that the journey can be short, since the app manages to gather all their functions in a very space-focused, without pull-down menus or anything like that. Has a lot to do in that aspect is the fact that the Komoot us performs a simple questionnaire initial to be informed by the discipline that we practice, and some users that we can continue to inspire us routes or in the practice of the sport.

Once completed, we meet directly with the representation of the map to start planning the route. In the upper part we choose to discipline our physical state and if we want a path back and forth. When you choose the destination in the same, we can choose among the places that he proposes to us the app, whether they are places for kids, natural landscapes, campsites, etc attracts a lot of attention that includes other facilities such as restaurants, stations or bike workshops, as well as to be able to draw the route by hand with presses long on the map.

With the route already planned, we are ready to materialise. The app has a section to record the route and store it, in case that you want to repeat it, or simply see the data it has collected about the same. The map, which can work offlinehas the ability to distinguish between lanes, asphalt or trails, as well as guide the route with your navigation by voice.

The community in Komoot, very important

You could say that this app without the community, it would not be nothing. In addition they nourish the routes provided by the users, has its own social network to share photos, routes of public view, although there is also the possibility of sharing them just for the followers. Even, shows interactions between users

since it is possible to maintain profiles and comment on posts, so that the community can maintain conversations.

On the other hand, encourages the active participation in the community. Account with a program that determines the leaders, according to the region or the sport. This position is achieved by sharing photos, posts, and routes, which in turn translates in practice to exercise outdoors.

Sync and compatible devices

Without a doubt, one of its many advantages is that it offers a sync cross-platform almost incomparable. It has both its web version as for versions on other platforms or devices, as may be the smartwatches with Android Wear. Maintains compatibility also with speedometers and GPS navigation for bicycles, which would be very useful to follow the routes. This is the complete list, some older models other:

• LG G Watch
• LG G Watch R
• Huawei Watch
• Samsung Gear Live
• Sony Smartwatch 3
• Garmin
• Wohoo
• Sigma
• Bosch

These are both smart watches as the browsers that compatible with the app Komoot. Yes, not everything was going to be a fairy tale, and that is that the application is only free for the first region. If we are to expand our area of routes, have maps without connection, or the voice-guided navigation, there will be that pay by using a subscription, whose emoluments are worthwhile if truly we are practicing some of these disciplines regularly.
