What is "Profile connect"?
The "Profile connect" connection creates a link between your komoot account and the account of a device partner. When devices utilize Profile Connect, they gain the capability to access navigation functionalities independently of komoot. That means that the device can operate independently as a "Standalone" device, without being connected to a phone.
What is a Bluetooth connection?
When utilizing the Bluetooth connection, the device only mirrors the navigation instructions from the komoot app on your phone. This setup requires the phone to maintain a constant connection, as it provides the necessary GPS signal. This connectivity method is employed for devices like Apple Watches or Wear OS devices.

Some device manufacturer only use the Bluetooth connection, others only the Profile connect connection and other device manufacturer offer for some devices a Bluetooth connection and for other devices the profile connect connection.
What is the “Send to device” feature?
The "Send to device" feature introduces a new approach for transferring Tours to your device. Unlike the conventional method of using Bluetooth and Profile connect, which necessitates pre-saving the tour, "Send to device" empowers you to effortlessly transmit any komoot Tour to your device and initiate navigation immediately.
