Komoot is awesome. If you’re a cyclist and have aGarmin watchorcycling computer, it’s likely you’ve already come across the app; but if you haven’t, I recommend giving it a try, especially now that Komoot launched Trail View – a ‘unique proprietary technology that brings maps to life’.
If you’re concerned that you’ll be presented with a bunch of underexposed, crappy images, rest assured that not all user images will pass the Trail View test. Trail View scans all uploaded pictures and shows only those with paths and trails; it eliminates images that do not fit the criteria (i.e. images that include faces, animals, landscapes, buildings etc.).
What’s in for you, dear Komoot user? According to Komoot, Trail View ‘adds an additional dimension to route planning, enabling users to verify what the trail looks like so they can make informed decisions about whether a specific trail is suitable for their sport or level of experience’. In short, it makes planning unknown routes easier and, most importantly, safer.
Using Trail View, clear information about the condition and composition of the trail can help mountain bikers choose the right equipment, hiking families and groups to reduce risk, and gravel cyclists to avoid paths with rocks – ‘increasing the likelihood of Type 1 fun all-round’, Komoot adds.
