Komoot.com

This is a fun and handy website which works well both as an app as well as on a desktop. You can search for routes to explore in areas that you’re interested in, as well as adapt them to create your own. There’s also a social option to see what other people are up to, and you can add your own views too. The footpath tool is easy to use and gives you a good calculation of both distance and gradient, and it even shows where hinderances like stiles might be, though sometimes a satellite and street view feature might assist in the planning, which forces you to use other applications. The map software itself is some sort of freeware. And there’s also weekly suggestions of local things to explore that can be e-mailed to you. The majority of it takes place online, though you can download routes to your home area or if you subscribe.
