Whats my options for mapping a route

Sometimes im flying down a hill and would just be fun to know what i was doing

Komoot and Cyclemeter too.

Where do i find it on komoot?

I don't have a bike computer and tend to rely on tiny paper segments from online mapping sites. The only tip I would give is to try and have a look at really complicated junctions in urban areas on Streetview before you go. It jogs your memory when you get there. I once viewed all the 60 miles from the Hook to Amsterdam in advance on my computer screen. It turned out to be quite handy. Yes, yes, I know it's pretty sad.....

Apologies, my mistake - I thought Komoot gave you maximum speed info, but it doesn't show you on the app or website. It does include the data when you export the GPX and upload to Strava or similar.

Cyclemeter app definitely shows the data on the app.

How do you export the gpx?

How do you export the gpx?

Go on the Komoot.com website (on laptop, tablet or phone using browser and without opening app)
Click on your profile name
Select Completed rides
Select your completed ride title
Select Export to GPS Device
Save GPX

Well I tried a few different ones though found one called plotaroute which has various features on it like inclines how long up hill sections plus gradients are and down hill too but in the end I use RWGPS and load straight into the garmin

With komoot, say i upload a route to it but the start point isnt where i want it to be, but the route passes where i want to start, would it recognise that and still direct me?
Does that make sence?
Im having trouble just moving the start point

Yes. Once you are on track.

Do you know if Garmin does that as well?

Sorry. I binned Garmin way back. Onto Wahoo now.

Do not see why not, but I can’t say for sure.

Thanks sorted it now

How comes strava is so much more popular than the other options? At least it is with people i know

Does it offer something the others dont that im missing?

I keep playing with it because i know people on there but just keep going back to komoot, it just seems so much better!
