How to Export GPX from Komoot
Komoot is a strong route planner for cycling, hiking, gravel rides, and outdoor trips. If you want to scout the route in 3D terrain before you go, the useful handoff is a clean GPX export.
Once the GPX file is downloaded, RoutePOV can turn that planned line into a route preview that makes climbs, descents, corners, and terrain transitions easier to understand.

Why preview a Komoot route in RoutePOV
Komoot helps you build and discover routes. RoutePOV adds the reconnaissance step after planning: what does the route feel like when terrain and sequence matter?
A 3D preview is useful when the route includes steep ramps, long descents, technical trail transitions, or unfamiliar roads where a flat map does not give enough context.
Best Komoot routes to preview
This workflow is strongest for routes where preparation changes the quality of the day: gravel rides, overlanding tracks, hilly cycling loops, trail runs, long hikes, and motorcycle touring routes.
For short familiar routes, a map may be enough. For unfamiliar or consequential routes, exporting from Komoot and previewing in RoutePOV gives you a better mental model before departure.
