Hi! I have a very rough route drafted for an upcoming trip. We're planning on doing it from May to August this year. So far I've just added the major way points we want to hit. Manhattan -> Toronto -> Detroit -> Minneapolis -> Yellowstone -> Seattle! Taking all route advice! We would like to stay off busy streets as much as possible. Also this is my first time using komoot so trying to figure out route options. If I switch from gravel cycling to just cycling then there's major route changes. So not sure what's the best options.

i used Komoot for my last tour and it worked really well where I was riding (W Europe). I’ve only used for shorter routing back in the US, but it seems comparable to RideWithGPS, which I’ve used a lot. If you aren’t familiar with it, Adventure Cycling has various maps/routes that may be of interest, such as the Northern Tier. The Great American Rail Trail Route is also worth investigating. It’s eventually supposed to link up an East/West route of bike path/rail trail, but for now uses what is there are routes between it on roads.
