Re: Komoot is annoying!! (Cant change multi day routes)
I may be wrong, but I have a feeling that it’s not a package popular with the demographic on this forum. A fair few people on Facebook ‘Gravel bikes UK’ seem to like it, so you might try there.

Re: Komoot is annoying!! (Cant change multi day routes)
On my PC and tablet I simply click and drag the 'A' and 'B' to wherever I want to move them. I have been able to do this over multiple days on a six week tour. It gives a warning that this will mean that it the next days start will be out of sync but it allows you to continue anyway. I use the web page rather than the App, perhaps that makes a difference? Good luck.
Re: Komoot is annoying!! (Cant change multi day routes)
The problem with that is that I already have a pre-planned route (the Cantii Way), and if I do that it starts changing the route to places I don't want to go.kernow montpelier wrote: ↑8 Mar 2023, 8:36pm On my PC and tablet I simply click and drag the 'A' and 'B' to wherever I want to move them.

Hold and drag a suitable place on the blue line ( a dot appears to show that you've grabbed it) to the place you want to go.bungle73 wrote: ↑8 Mar 2023, 8:38pmThe problem with that is that I already have a pre-planned route (the Cantii Way), and if I do that it starts changing the route to places I don't want to go.kernow montpelier wrote: ↑8 Mar 2023, 8:36pm On my PC and tablet I simply click and drag the 'A' and 'B' to wherever I want to move them.

I'm pretty sure that's what I already tried, but I'll give it another go, thanks.kernow montpelier wrote: ↑8 Mar 2023, 8:45pmHold and drag a suitable place on the blue line ( a dot appears to show that you've grabbed it) to the place you want to go.bungle73 wrote: ↑8 Mar 2023, 8:38pmThe problem with that is that I already have a pre-planned route (the Cantii Way), and if I do that it starts changing the route to places I don't want to go.kernow montpelier wrote: ↑8 Mar 2023, 8:36pm On my PC and tablet I simply click and drag the 'A' and 'B' to wherever I want to move them.

Generation X. You buy an expensive app, then need an anger management one.
I'm not familiar with Komoot but on the app store, this comment. It also gives details of contacting them in the reply.

Re: Komoot is annoying!! (Cant change multi day routes)
I used multi day routes a lot last year. I just moved the start and finish points a fair bit and there was not a problem. As a previous poster says a warning comes up (when editing the start or finish of a day within a multi day route) to say that it may cause an issue, presumably because the following day starts when the current day finishes. But it never causes a problem.
The help desk is very helpful.
Enjoy.

I live in Japan so I cannot say for sure for other countries, but here google maps is absolutely the best. It has so much data plus photos of places uploaded by users as well a street view so you can see if the road you want to take is empty or full of traffic. I use it to plan my routes, find wild camping places, public baths, supermarkets in remote areas etc etc etc. And it's free.
Not a google fan by any means; but maps combined with google earth takes care of 75% of my planning. Internet for the rest.

No idea why the other poster likes it, but I'd say google maps is definitively the worst cycling routefinder I've tried. Often puts you on bizarre and inconvenient "cycling" routes just because they're designated for cyclists in its database.
Cycle.travel is good. The OS app in the UK is good. Simply looking at a map and doing what suits you is far and away the best.

Re: Komoot is annoying!! (Cant change multi day routes)
The newest version is very good indeed, especially in towns and cities where it'll give various suggestions based on % of cycle lanes, shared paths etc and give a good summary of elevation and a reasonably accurate speed/time estimate. It'll also interlink with the various bike hire schemes in that area and tell you what options you have (eg Lime, Santander etc).roubaixtuesday wrote: ↑17 Apr 2023, 9:43pm No idea why the other poster likes it, but I'd say google maps is definitively the worst cycling routefinder I've tried.

To be fair it's not really designed for longer distance stuff although if you use it enough it will learn your preferences. In cities though, it's fantastic.
But it's a different market to what Komoot, RideWithGPS etc are aiming at.

Re: Komoot is annoying!! (Cant change multi day routes)
yeap, multi-day planning in komoot is just ****. it dictates your endpoint for each day's ride. the only way to set your own endpoint for the day's ride (that I'm aware of) is to drag the komoot endpoint to your desired location and then drag the blue line back along the track you want to take (i.e. to the grey line) effectively adding new waypoints along the original track ...at least on the web version anyway (don't know about the app version).
