The elite route-planning platform komoot has been acquired by the tech company Bending Spoons — the second time in the past year that a major European-based mapping system has been gobbled up.

“We’re deeply impressed by komoot’s achievements over the past 17 years, and are enthusiastic about its future growth potential,” said Luca Ferrari, Bending Spoons’ CEO and co-founder. “By leveraging the Bending Spoons expertise and platform technologies, we’re confident we can help komoot go from strength to strength for many years to come.”

While Bending Spoons itself is not a household name, it’s digital technology products — including Brightcove, Evernote, Meetup, Remini, StreamYard and WeTransfer — are more widely recognized, used by more than 300 million people each month.

Unfortunately, very few details were provided in the public announcement of the acquisition, though in the rocky wake of Strava acquiring FATMAP, it’s understandable that there may be some hesitancy or resistance to change.

FATMAP was embraced by outdoor enthusiasts as a premium mapping service, with map layers that included details on avalanche threats and other features that were hyper sport-specific. And though Strava said that “certain FATMAP features” would carry over to Strava’s app and website, there has been considerable disappointment in the sporting community that FATMAP’s tech has gone several months only being minimally integrated. That may improve as time progresses, however. Some of the newer features that Strava has pulled from FATMAP are part of a new Map Rendering Engine (MRE), which looks at layers that include an avalanche gradient, an aspect layer that helps pinpoint the best snow and a winter map.

Similarly, questions about komoot are running rampant, including related to an unconfirmed social media screenshot that reports “most of its [komoot’s] employees will be losing their jobs in the coming weeks.”

Germany-based komoot syncs with major activity-tracking brands, such as Garmin, Suunto, and Wahoo. Notably for Garmin-users, komoot’s robust mapping and route-planning features were highly desirable, because the Garmin Connect app utilizes Google Maps and is noticeably lacking in terms of trail markings, topographical identification and other features for off-grid users. Komoot did well to fill that gap.

Markus Hallermann, komoot’s CEO and co-founder, said that the platform has 45 million users. Komoot is available for free on both the app and web in order to download the app and plan routes, while single regions, region bundles, and the World Pack involve one-time purchases. There is also an annual-pass option that renews automatically unless canceled.

It’s unclear how any of these tiers would change under the new ownership, which has officially closed on the acquisition.

“Komoot inspires millions to explore the outdoors, improving both physical and mental well-being, and continues to grow worldwide. However, what got us here won’t take us to the next level,” Hallermann said. “Scaling a company requires a different mindset and skill set than building one. That’s why we believe Bending Spoons, with its unique expertise in driving innovation and scaling platforms, is the perfect partner to lead komoot into the future.”

No further details were release by the companies.
