How To Plan A Hiking Route

How To Plan A Hiking Route

How do you plan your hiking routes?

In this episode Will explains why he plans most of his routes online these days, and why komoot has become his ‘go-to’ software for it.

Watch his step-by-step guide to the basics of the app; including creating long distance walks, circular routes and point-to-point routes across pathless terrain.

Remember, if you intend to follow a route in the mountains using your phone, make sure you’ve got a map and compass to be safe.

    hi, thanks for the video. I use OS maps in the UK but looking for something to use abroad – I’m off to Tenerife soon and hope to do other countries too. I like the one-off payment for Komoot world maps, but I haven’t really been able to see many screen shots of the topo detail. I know it won’t be as detailed as OSmaps, but are all the Spanish footpaths marked clearly? Thanks

    Thnks for the video! It would be useful to have an option to select your preference for hiking path, so you get a longer route maybe but avoiding roads or pavement paths
