Feedback
We’re keen to learn and improve as this is the first time we have tried anything like this. Whether it is about your experience with Komoot and these instructions or about the walks – we’d love to hear at imagineuraidlatrails@gmail.com or for the walks by adding a ‘Comment’ on the walk page. Encouragement and being positive is a theme at Imagine Uraidla!!

Hints on using Komoot

1. Set up

   1. Download the Komoot app and set up a free account.  There is no need to buy ‘Premium’ to follow our walks and it is not necessary to purchase any maps.  We have selected Komoot for this reason and that it isn’t active as a ‘social media’ app. 
      

   2. When the app opens with your account, along the bottom bar select ‘Profile’, then ‘Manage Friends’ and in the search bar at the top type ‘Imagine Uraidla’ and when we come up simply select ‘Follow’.
      
      That is the end of the set up phase.
      

2. To Find and Follow an Imagine Uraidla walk.

   1. Open the app and select your Profile and notice above ‘Following’ is the digit ‘1’.  Press on ‘Following’ and then press on ‘Imagine Uraidla Trails’ to see the walks.
      

   2. You will see that we have sorted the walks into ‘Collections’ to help you choose the walk or you can see the whole list under ‘Tours Planned’.   Press on the walk you have chosen to see all details, including a typical time taken, the distance and altitude gain or loss.  The back arrow at the top left allows you to go back to the listings.  When you are ready to start your walk just press ‘Navigation’ and follow the blue dot.   It really is that simple.
      

   3. Generally on these walks we have used the Navigation in live mode using phone reception to keep the map moving in the background.  If you are concerned about data usage or being out of range, then select ‘Store for offline use’ and follow the prompts and it will be stored in your account.
      

   4. Alternatively when you have opened the walk at the Imagine Uraidla site, you can press ‘Save’ instead of ‘Navigation’ and the walk will be instantly saved to ‘Planned’ in your own account for easier access.
      

3. To export a walk to your preferred (non-Komoot) app
   This needs to be done on a computer at www.komoot.com.  Sign in and select your Profile and then Imagine Uraidla Trails to find the walk (as in the app).  With the walk up on the screen, you will see the option to ‘Export to GPS device’ which will download the .gpx track file to your computer for transfer in your usual way to your preferred app.
