Which are you using?

For most things (day trips, few km after work...) I use multiple of them.

Mapy.cz

  • online and offline mobile app
  • trip planner works pretty well
  • you can check out places (photos, reviews...) when online
  • well maped whole Europe
  • not enough information about roads (asphalt, paved, gravel...)
  • basically interactive version of KČT maps

Cykloserver.cz

  • can't find app
  • basic planner, but better for drawing your route
  • much more helpful info about roads
  • it is just automatically scaled paper map, so you have to know how to read it

Osm clients - I tried multiple of them.

Paper maps - from the same company that makes the Cycloserver maps. You can get set of them for about 100€ (CZ not sure about SK). There is just something special about planning trip on paper maps.

I like https://cycle.travel/

You can use it to plan a circular route as well as a one way trip

Is it localised as my picks?

Seems to me that it is made for UK.

[–] calamitycastle 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it definitely covers Europe, it's free so try a few routes, maybe it will work for you

Yeah it is basic OSM client underneath. For me openstreetmap.cz has better rendering of layers. But it is just preference.

I use Komoot mostly

I was researching ridewithgps once again to see if I can justify the premium over Komoot onetime map plan. I finally thinkered around the web view of rwgps and I must admit it is very powerful already in the free functionality. I don’t think I will ever go back to Komoot, but I haven’t decided on the premium package for rwgps just yet.
