How to import a GPX into Komoot

Komoot imports a GPX as a planned tour and gives turn-by-turn voice directions along it.

On the website

1. Sign in at komoot.com.
2. Open Plan, then choose Import GPX (also reachable at komoot.com/upload) and pick the hikelevel .gpx file.
3. Choose Import as planned tour and Hiking as the sport.
4. Komoot fits the route to its trail map. Check the line against the hike page, then choose Save.

In the Komoot app

1. Save the hikelevel .gpx file on the phone.
2. Open the file and choose Share (iPhone) or the open-with menu (Android), then Komoot.
3. Choose Import as planned tour, confirm the sport, and save.

On the trail

Open the tour from Profile, then Planned, and choose Start navigation. With offline maps for the region, directions keep working without signal.

If something looks wrong

• Komoot reroutes an imported line onto trails it knows. A section it cannot match shows as a straight segment; the hike still works, but directions pause there.
• The elevation profile is Komoot's own and may differ slightly from the hike page.
