The Oria take

The planner is the reason to have it: you can see before you leave whether a route is gravel, singletrack or footpath, which matters far more on a long walk than the distance does. Offline maps make it the sensible choice once you are past reception. Its pricing has been in flux, so read what you are buying.

What is komoot?

A route planner that knows the difference between a sealed path and a rough trail, with turn-by-turn voice navigation and offline maps once a region is downloaded. It suits people who want to plan a walk or ride properly before leaving, and follow it without reception.

What it offers

  • Route planning by surface and difficulty, not just distance
  • Turn-by-turn voice navigation on trails as well as roads
  • Offline maps for a downloaded region
  • Routes and photos shared by other people who have done them

What we like

  • Honest about what a path is actually like underfoot
  • Planning on a big screen, walking from the phone
  • Community routes are useful in unfamiliar country

Things to consider

  • Pricing has changed since the company was sold, so check before buying
  • Australian trail coverage is thinner than in Europe

Questions people ask

Is komoot free?

Planning routes is free and one map region is included. Further regions and premium features cost extra, and that pricing has changed recently.

Does komoot work without phone reception?

Yes, once you have downloaded the region and saved the route. That is the main reason people choose it for remote walks.

Is it only for cycling?

No. It plans walking, running, hiking and cycling, and the surface information is arguably most useful on foot.

Take it offline

Prefer practising with other people?

An app is a good companion between sessions. These are the places in Perth doing the same thing in a room.
