With its emphasis on segments and how fast you’ve ridden them, it offers a virtual competition and a useful gauge of how well you’re going. With a huge number of users, Strava overlays heatmaps though, so you can see, and set the planning tool to follow, routes most used by other cyclists or your own preferred roads. It too bases this on OpenStreetMap data, although it’s not enhanced as much as Komoot’s, so looks a bit more bland. Strava too offers route planning for its paid subscribers. You can then send the route to your phone or GPS device to navigate (although you need to have paid to unlock the area where you’re riding, see below on pricing). Select your fitness level and you’ll get a predicted ride time and there’s a breakdown by type of surface you’ll be riding on. Komoot mapping functionality is easy to use you can either plot out your route waypoint by waypoint or leave Komoot to work it out for you. Other users will often have marked up features like viewpoints and quiet roads, making these easier to spot and include in your planned routes (which Komoot calls Tours). It uses OpenStreetMap data, but enhances it so that features like woodland, railway lines and cycle paths stand out more. Much of Komoot’s offering is geared to mapping out a route which you can then follow.
