The enshittification continues.

OSM cycling maps, .gpx files, and a usb cable remain the best way to plan routes!

I hate the industry around cycling. It's predatory, exclusionary, and just fucked, in general.

I understand that they need to make some revenue somehow ... but it still sucks. I always liked that komoot had user-uploaded photos that allowed me to see the "road quality" when planning my routes, that's the main reason i always use komoot for route-planning.
