Ok, I need an alternative to Komoot for #CrossBorderRail 🚲🗺️ this summer
@spacehobo suggested cycle.travel that looks good, but on two shorter trips I’ll evaluate this and other options
NEEDS
- route planning and saving on a computer and easily on an iPhone
- ability to share routes with others with a link, and export routes as GEOjson or equiv file
- turn by turn navigation (I have an old iPhone on a handlebar mount)
IMPORTANT
- works anywhere in the EU, and Moldova and edge of Ukraine
IDEALLY
- community driven and/or open source
And sorry, solutions only in a web browser are unlikely good enough. An app based solution for saved routes strikes me as important.
And why am I leaving Komoot behind? As @osma documented, the founders sold out to big money enshittifiers 😭
Based on suggestions from a bunch of people, 3 apps are to be assessed more closely
cycle.travel
Ride with GPS
Organic Maps
First test: home to a friend’s place in a neighbouring village
There are two routes: a longer flat route along the canal, and a shorter hilly route on a road with cars
cycle.travel gives me the canal
The other two the hilly road
First win for cycle.travel
