We keep hearing paper maps are making a comeback but OS maps have never really gone out of fashion. They are an essential ally on any adventure, particularly in places as off the beaten track as the Scottish Highlands. And combined with a digital navigation app such as Komoot, you can afford to get lost every now and then because you know you can dig yourself out of trouble.

Cycling Plus’s Big Ride demands the best mapping tools and Komoot is the navigation app aimed at all adventurous types, whether you’re a roadie, mountain biker or gravel adventurer.

Either through your computer and uploaded onto your Garmin or Wahoo device, or via Komoot’s iOS or Android phone app, Komoot can build your routes for you, according to bike type and fitness, requiring only a start and end point. You can add photos, include highlights or points of interest, and share with friends and the Komoot community.

Head to www. komoot.com or download the app for your phone.
