Right when everyone is recommending them as an alternative to Strava, is this acquisition the reason you now need a subscription to transfer maps to devices?
That's an odd recommendation in my book. I use both and I couldn't imagine using one instead of the other. To me, one is a route planner and the other is athletes' Facebook.
I agree and like you wasn't really sure why but I have seen a lot of people recently recommend komoot as an alternative to Strava, particularly on the buyeuropean communities. I haven't used Komoot for quite a few years now though so didn't know if maybe they had expanded into activity tracking as well as routes etc.
