In my previous article “The Future of Komoot: Time to Look for Alternatives?“, I have described what has happened with Komoot. In short: Komoot was sold to a company, with a very questionable track record. This raises concerns about the future of the service.

Since I wasn’t the “trail keeper,” I decided to passively track my hike using my Galaxy Watch 4, without starting any active navigation apps like Komoot (article about my experiments with Komoot in Alps)….
