Transferring Tours between komoot and COROS

After setting up the connection, all planned komoot Tours are transferred to the COROS app on the smartphone, provided that the phone is connected to the WLAN. In the COROS app you can find the Tours in Profile > Navigation Routes Library. From here you can use them to navigate on the watch as described below.

All completed Tours on the watch, which were created after connecting your accounts, are automatically transferred back to komoot as soon as an internet connection is established.

Note: The routes from native COROS workouts will not be synced from komoot to the COROS Navigation Route Library.
