Komoot has launched its latest “Send to Device” feature, which allows users to start navigating Tours on their Garmin cycling computer and smartwatches with the tap of a button.
The “Send to Device” Feature
Whether it’s a short after work ride, or a long event, users no longer have to scroll through routes on their Garmin device, instead all they need to do is open the Tour function on the Komoot mobile app or website and click “Send to Device”.
Rob Hermans, product manager at Komoot said, “to deliver on our mission of helping people explore more of the great outdoors — wherever and however they want — we invest a lot of resources in user research as our community’s feedback is vital.
“Finding a Komoot route and starting navigation on a Garmin device was a multi-click process. Now, thanks to the ‘Send to Device’ feature and the Komoot Connect IQ app, our users have the ability to synchronize their route in a simpler way and enjoy a smooth navigation experience like never before,” he adds.
Additionally, for users who rely on their Garmin smartwatch, they can now adjust, switch and update their route mid-Tour without ending and restarting the current activity — whether they want to re-route for a coffee stop or find the nearest shop to pick up supplies for their journey.
The Komoot app on Connect IQ
Available for download via the Garmin Connect IQ Store, the Komoot Connect IQ app allows users to connect their Garmin device with their Komoot account for route planning and navigation.
Once the connection has been set, users can plot their routes on the Komoot mobile app or website and synchronise them on their Garmin device.
Ben Thompson, director of business development at Komoot, said, “ease-of-use is the industry standard when it comes to GPS devices. Providing Komoot users with the best navigation experience on their Garmin devices has always been a priority of our collaboration with Garmin. We also wanted Komoot to be the app of choice for Garmin users who want the smoothest route synchronisation available — allowing adventure enthusiasts to spend more time outdoors instead of fiddling with their devices.”
