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

@jon I’m surprised no one suggested Mapy yet, maybe because offline maps are only available with a premium account (~€18/year) but I haven’t tested it thoroughly for your other requirements. @marekfort got me to install it and I like the place info and tour(ist) suggestions. Gives me nice route in your test case
@kupfers @jon @marekfort Seems to do the same routing as topo-gps (https://www.topo-gps.com/maps-coverage-in-topo-gps/), which I love. Ability to use different map sources, OSM is a one time 5,49 payment.
