Full review
calimoto is a motorcycle route planner by calimoto GmbH, Babelsberger Straße 12, 14473 Potsdam, Germany. The legal notice names the managing directors Sebastian Dambeck and Luca Osten and the VAT ID DE306450342.
The company is registered at the district court Berlin Charlottenburg under HRB 175693 B. It is on this list as a trail-style route planner for a different vehicle, not as a hiking app.
How calimoto plans a ride
calimoto asks for a starting point and a distance and then calculates a route along the most winding, scenic roads. Round trips offer eight directions and four routing profiles.
The Calimeter score tells riders how twisty a route will be before they ride it.
calimoto plans and features
calimoto lists Basic, Standard and Premium plans. Premium adds turn-by-turn navigation with voice, offline maps, group location sharing and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Ride import and export in GPX, KML and ITN formats are listed on the pricing page. Prices were not shown on the pages we read, and a 14-day free test is offered.
calimoto as a European alternative to AllTrails
calimoto does not replace AllTrails for walkers. It is the closest European match for riders who use a trail app to find scenic routes, and its map data comes from TomTom and OpenStreetMap.
Known limits
calimoto serves motorcyclists only and has no hiking trail catalogue. The pages we read show no plan prices, and the legal notice gives Potsdam as address while the terms name Berlin as registered seat. Hosting location is not stated. For walking, choose komoot or bergfex instead.
