This occurred to me while reading the Strava pricing thread, but I didn’t want to go OT. While I quite like the social aspect of Strava, and I do use certain segments as fitness tests, what I mainly use it for is route mapping. I’ve tried Komoot and found it quite unwieldy, though it seems quite a powerful tool, potentially at least. Does anybody have a) any other good route planning apps, and/or b) tips for getting the best out of Komoot? ---

I will probably merge this with the one already started yesterday. > [@Alternatives to Strava Routing](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/alternatives-to-strava-routing/79875): > > Given the recent Strava price increase announcement, and the fact most people kept the premium for routes only, creating this as place for Strava routes alternatives for search purposes. If others have alternatives, pay or free please list below and we will update this post.
