Komoot Integrates with ChatGPT for AI-Powered Route Planning
Komoot, a leading navigation and route planning platform, has launched an integration with ChatGPT, enabling users to discover outdoor routes using natural language prompts. The new app, available as of February 10, 2026, allows users to generate route suggestions directly within the ChatGPT interface.
How the Komoot-ChatGPT Integration Works
The Komoot app for ChatGPT allows users to type requests – such as “find me a 50km cycling route near Milan” – and receive a curated list of route and landmark recommendations. This streamlines the route discovery process, providing access to Komoot’s library of over 7 million sport-specific routes and 4 million community-recommended highlights globally [Komoot Newsroom]. Users can then utilize the “Open in komoot” function to transfer the information directly to the Komoot platform for saving, editing, or downloading routes for offline navigation [Road.cc].
Beyond Basic Searches
The ChatGPT integration facilitates more advanced route discovery. Users can specify characteristics like length, location, duration, and sport type within their prompts, going beyond Komoot’s standard keyword categories and filters [Komoot Newsroom]. The app can present results as a list or on a map view, and users can control the number of route suggestions provided.
Komoot Joins a Growing Trend
Komoot is not the first platform to integrate AI into route planning. AllTrails is also available through ChatGPT, and Strava offers an AI route planner that uses algorithms to suggest popular and safe routes based on user activity [Komoot Newsroom]. While other AI chatbots like those from Google and Claude can provide route descriptions, they do not offer downloadable GPX tracks.
What This Means for Route Planning
The Komoot-ChatGPT integration doesn’t create entirely new routes but refines the way users find existing ones within Komoot’s database [Escape Collective]. However, it offers a more conversational and accessible entry point for discovering outdoor adventures, particularly for those already using ChatGPT for planning purposes. Komoot stated that the integration aims to meet users where they are, as more planning increasingly happens within ChatGPT [Escape Collective].
To access the Komoot app within ChatGPT, users can type “@komoot” in the input bar or navigate to the “Apps” section in the chatbot menu and select Komoot [Komoot Newsroom].
