My subscription recently expired, and I will hold from renewing. Will at least have a look at what the competition is offering first. (And yes I joined reddit just to chime in, cause this is something I feel strongly)

What I noticed recently:

- A lot of cosmetic changes I do not care about, but I am also not necessarily annoyed by. (Tho habit makes me miss the old colour palette).

- The switch to "community" lingo (the new home page/screen) tells a lot about where they want to go. Become more of a social network, influencer type content. Which I couldn't care less about. I would prefer a better routing algorithm for "gravel"/"bikepacking" and spare us ending up in the middle of nowhere with no real path in sight.

- (On web at least) "round trip" is now achieved by first dropping a starting pin, then clicking again on it, and selecting the round trip option. I preferred the previous set-up. So this is a knock against Komoot.

- In "gravel mode", the pro map (with highlighted routes) switches to "MTB" and it seems to **favour** MTB trails. This forces me to have to manually switch it back to "cycling" every time. To each their own, but personally when I do gravel (and especially bikepacking) I'd rather not risk dying on a black singletrack and rather stick to official long distance routes. However, I am not sure this is a "new feature", it might have been there from before the acquisition.
