What is the "Send to device" feature?
You can seamlessly send a route to your navigation devices, such as bike computers and smartwatches by using the "Send to Device" button in the komoot app or via the browser version. Currently, this capability is limited to Garmin devices, as well as for sending Tours from the website directly to your smartphone.
With just a few clicks, you can conveniently send Tours directly from the Route Planner, planned and completed Tours, or even ready-made routes that you find in the Routes section. To learn how to send a Tour to a Garmin device, consult these instructions and/or refer to this article for guidance on sending a Tour to your smartphone.

Note: Provided that your device is capable of importing GPX files, there is also the possibility of a manual transfer, regardless of whether the device is supported or not. Find out how to do this here.
