My Komoot export script has become quite popular. It was shared on a subreddit a few months ago, and I received many requests and comments about it. This morning, I decided to do some “guided vibe-coding” (I told Copilot what to implement, then checked and modified the result) and extend the export script. I replaced the static variables with CLI options for the credential file and download directory, added new flags to add the title to the file name and download planned tours. I also improved the readme to better explain how to acquire the necessary credentials and run the code.
See my original post about the script, the last update, and the source code.

I previously shared my transition from Komoot to OsmAnd, and after some time, I’ve grown accustomed to its comprehensive capabilities. Whether for cycling, hiking, or general navigation, OsmAnd truly functions as a versatile “Swiss Army knife” for offline mobile navigation and tracking.

Dmytro Prudnikov, former product designer at Komoot, who was still featured last December in a post on LinkedIn, but got, as many others, fired, posted an emotional video on YouTube. Together, he and a lot of other former colleagues, they spent some time together for a last gathering.

After quickly trying out Outdooractive, I think I found an alternative that fits my needs a bit better and is also more inline with my values: OsmAnd.

I’ve found a potential alternative to Komoot: Outdooractive, another German app that offers many similar features. I’m surprised it flew under my radar for so long.

I’ve taken another look at my export script for Komoot (original post), now that Bending Spoons has acquired Komoot. I’ve extended the script to also download cover images and, if available, an image of the map – I found that in the API responses.

While I like Komoot and use it to navigate and record all my tours, whether that are bike tours or hiking trips, it sucks that there’s no option to export all your data. There’s also no official API to easily implement such functionality.

In my last bike trip report, I mentioned that I would review the Wahoo bike computer I ordered once I had a chance to try it out. Well, as it turns out, I sent the Wahoo back and found a solution that works better for me.
