Strava Accuracy Compared to Other GPS Devices

I am puzzled that Strava on my IPhone 14Pro or Samsung S20+ 5G always records longer distances and different elevation to my other devices. I have attached two printouts from GPSSee which superimposes the tracks. The Samsung/iPhone Strava tracks are always the longest with about ten per cent added to a track of about 16km.. The other devices are WorkOutDoors on an Apple Watch, Bad Elf GPS Pro, Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Solar and a Dual XGPS160. Why is this happening as ChatGPT does not have a solution? Thanks.

Why are Heat Maps Activity Specific?

Heat maps are so great but I feel like making them activity specific takes a huge amount of value out of them. Especially when they are split up between trivial differences like Run and Trail Run (or even Hike for that matter). Does anyone know why this decision was made? Any word of just One Heat Map™ on the horizon?

GPX import ignores trkseg XML tags thus violating GPX specification and counting wrong distance

It looks like Strava's GPX importer completly ignores "trkseg" XML tag. In attached file there are two segments.GPX file contains one track (trk XML tag). This track can have one or more segments (trkseg XML tag). Segment have points (trkpt XML tag). Distance should be counted as distance between all points inside one (and every) segment but not between segments.Example:Let's have one track with two segments.First segment: point A, point B, point CSecond segment: point D, point EDistance should be counted as:track_distance = distance(A, B) + distance(B, C) + distance(D, E)You count it as:track_distance = distance(A, B) + distance(B, C) + distance(C, D) + distance(D, E)(which is wrong, distance between C and D must not be in total distance)Distance between last segment point and first point of next segment must not be counted in whole distance.According to GPX specification:https://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/#type_trksegTypeA Track Segment holds a list of Track Points which are logicall

The beginning of the week

Our week starts on Sunday, and my monthly running diary, every week starts on Monday and it's hard to understand how many days I'd ran every week and which week... is there a way to change it? In Garmin, as I remember, I can choose the starting day of the week..Thank you!

Hormonal contraception - running performance

Hello fellow female runners!I had hormonal coil installed about 6 weeks ago and since then Im dragging me feet and my training effect is out of the window. Did extremely poorly on my half marathon race this weekend. I have started to wonder whether the coil might be impacting my performance. Does anyone have any experience of anything similar? Or anyone aware of research done on the topic?thank you!

Password login as prefered first option

Why does Strava now put email or send login to phone as first option? We have a password already why is that the second option? Silly & a waste of time please return to allowing password as first option...Why do I need a email or text from you to login. Has been a simple task forever why change to this as the first option?
