Frequently asked questions about komoot
What is komoot and what is it used for? +
komoot is an outdoor navigation app from komoot GmbH, originally founded in 2010 in Potsdam. The platform offers route planning and navigation for hiking, cycling, mountain biking, road cycling, mountaineering, and running. Over 45 million users share more than 8 million routes worldwide. In March 2025, komoot was acquired by Italian company Bending Spoons.
Does komoot run on European infrastructure? +
komoot was founded in Germany and data processing is EU-based. Servers are located in EU data centers. Location data is processed only with explicit consent, and GPS tracks remain private by default. The specific cloud provider is not publicly disclosed. The parent company Bending Spoons is headquartered in Milan (Italy).
What distinguishes komoot from AllTrails? +
komoot covers more sports (road cycling, MTB, mountaineering) and is not solely focused on hiking like AllTrails. Route planning accounts for sport type, elevation, and terrain and offers turn-by-turn navigation with voice output and offline maps. komoot is European-managed (Italy/Germany), AllTrails is US-based. Both platforms offer community-based route recommendations.
