Which are you using?

For most things (day trips, few km after work...) I use multiple of them.

Mapy.cz

online and offline mobile app
trip planner works pretty well
you can check out places (photos, reviews...) when online
well maped whole Europe
not enough information about roads (asphalt, paved, gravel...)
basically interactive version of KČT maps

Cykloserver.cz

can't find app
basic planner, but better for drawing your route
much more helpful info about roads
it is just automatically scaled paper map, so you have to know how to read it

Osm clients - I tried multiple of them.

Paper maps - from the same company that makes the Cycloserver maps. You can get set of them for about 100€ (CZ not sure about SK). There is just something special about planning trip on paper maps.

I like https://cycle.travel/

You can use it to plan a circular route as well as a one way trip

Is it localised as my picks?

Seems to me that it is made for UK.

Yeah it definitely covers Europe, it's free so try a few routes, maybe it will work for you

Yeah it is basic OSM client underneath. For me openstreetmap.cz has better rendering of layers. But it is just preference.

I use Komoot mostly

I was researching ridewithgps once again to see if I can justify the premium over Komoot onetime map plan. I finally thinkered around the web view of rwgps and I must admit it is very powerful already in the free functionality. I don’t think I will ever go back to Komoot, but I haven’t decided on the premium package for rwgps just yet.
