Is anyone else having problems with elevation showing as 0 (flat).All my runs in January are showing as no elevation. Last year's runs are fine. I haven't changed anything. Running the same routes, using the same Fitbit watch etc. Other runners in my area have elevation, just not me. I can't find any way to change the settings for it.It is a bit annoying to be running hills and it not track them at all.I have messaged Strava help, but they just replied with the help page wording that says it's done using the GPS or base map. It doesn't explain why I'm suddenl

Can’t see a feature that exists, but if there is can someone point me in the right direction, if not, may I suggest that Photos have a geolocation attached as well as have the ability for users to add a short description on each of their photos?

Hi I joined the January 5k x Brooks challenge completed my 5k with run and it's not registering as completion 

Is there anyway logging auto racing on strava at all.

Hello, I record an alpine skiing activity from the strava app on my iphone.  I can see the map data on the screen before finishing the activity.  As soon as a I finish and hit upload, the activity uploads with np map data available.  As in the activity just says a distance elevation and time but there is no gps data.  When I export the activity it is a .fit file that is too small to have the gps data (<1kb). One of the times I had replied to a text message while the upload animation was playing.  I think there is something about the upload being interrupted and deleting the data locally before it is uploaded.  I never experienced this issue until this new update with animations on uploading.  This has now happened on 3 separate occasions.  Super frustrating because the gps data seems unrecoverable.  I’ll also try uploading the activity as a ride instead and switching it later to see if this solves it.

Currently, in the desktop version, if an activity has photos with GPS location on them, they are displayed as large round icons on the map. There’s no way to disable them, and they take a lot of space out of the map window. And as in the recent update the ability to resize map windows was removed (sorry, but why the heck?) and especially in the analysis view when there’s not even a possibility to make the map full screen, they take up an enormous amount of space, and block the view easily completely, when you try to fine tune the location of the sliders you want to check a certain section of the activity with. This is extremely annoying and frustrating.So, please, give as an option to toggle off the photo icons from all map windows.

When viewing my activity you used to be able to drag open the map with a resizer or a drag grip to enlarge it to what ever size you wanted and keep all the data in view, now that function is not there you have now to open the map fully which then takes away all the data etc, its also not there when you go into analyze a segment same thing you have to enlarge to full screen why have you done this as it was a good feature and now annoying 

I sent a submit ticket thank you.

When I go to share one of my activities I have no options of images to share including the stats sticker. I have my privacy settings to everyone and have updated the app to the latest version. I've attached a screenshot of the options I have once the share button is clicked for any activity. When I click the share to again at this stage it just gives a list of apps. Any help would be appreciated. TIA 

Did the developer think, when they released a feature, which allows to automatically hide the start- and end-point of a ride, that maybe, just MAYBE, that should NOT be applied to VIRTUAL rides?I can imagine, that someone does not want to bother setting up geo-zones of privacy, and they want to use the new feature (that is automatically enabled btw) for their IRL rides, that they do not want to have to edit each VIRTUAL ride? (especially in a clumsy way, where the start- and end-point have to be edited via separate sliders, instead of the UI providing a simple button, which disables hiding of anything, if people do not want to use the feature on that ride .. if it really "has to" be done manually for every VIRTUAL ride)Let's be honest - I do not care the slightest, if everyone knows, that I did a VIRTUAL ride in Spain, Chile, or Australia .. and I strongly doubt, that ANYONE does.

It would be helpful to be able to add two or three chains to a bike and have a way to rotate them. Example clicking on chain 2 would automatically pause chain 1 and vice versa. Chain rotation is becoming more common as more riders are starting to wax their chains!!  Noticed this has come up in the past but I don’t see a response by Strava or in the program!  What up?  If you’re going to charge as much as you are you need to support longevity in the program otherwise why should people continue to use the platform?  Help us out please! 

So the strava is unusable for me at this point, I use mi fitness to record my data and then when strava gets it it starts to show some bizarre stats like I made 12km on a 1km with 180 kmph speed 

Hi, Winter time is virtual time so I do my exercises indoor with Rouvy and Zwift. While Rouvy workout is measured in Kcal, Strava App shows also Kcal, the Web-Version is in kj. This is a Web-bug, or ? Kind regards, Martin 

Hi everyone!I have a question about importing activities from the SportsTracker app into Strava.I have a lot of workouts recorded in SportsTracker from the past years, but I’ve stopped using that app and would like to move all my activities to Strava.Does anyone know the best way to export or convert SportsTracker files and import them into Strava? Any tools, tips, or workflows you can recommend would be really appreciated!Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi!I was analysing my own data and couldn't find the 'export data', like a table with dates, activities, distance, RAI, pace, time, zones, etc. I was wondering if this is already available to the user.Thanks!

I track everything with my Garmin watch and sync to Strava. When skiing (alpine skiing). Strava detects lifts and cuts them out so that the height profile becomes somehting like this (lifts take no time and do not count towards total distance): This is a fine feature which was requested here:  However, there is a bug in this logic. This is implemented in such a way by just removing all points where you are traveling upwards (sitting in a lift). This assumes that the lift only travels in a direct path, which is correct for majority of lifts. But larger gondola-lifts often have a middle-station and then continue the second part in a different direction than the first part. This confuses the Strava alg

Previously if you uploaded a photo to an activity, it would appear on the map at the correct location in a small box which was unobtrusive and you could still see your route map. Now it appears in a giant circle that looks ugly and completely obstructs the route map - if you’ve got more than 3 or 4 photos on a ride you basically can’t see the orange line at all (especially now you can’t make the map bigger any longer). Can we get this reverted to the original setting please?

Some time ago I linked the Stages cycling app to my Strava account.However, the relative effort numbers via Stages are off the scale! So, I want to remove the link.I cannot find out to do this! I’ve been through all the menus. Someone out there will know…. Thanks.

Hi, for some reasons just can’t sync it!The Xiaomi app detects Strava then when i try to connect, and approve authorizations, it goes to strava.com etc, and then it freezes… Please help.

I done a run and recorded it on my Strava App where I manually click start and finish run from my phone. I usually wear an apple watch series 3 which is synced to my strava but do not use the data. As the watch is quite old I don’t tend to use the data. I did not end my run on my apple watch which was running and only well after my run i ended this on my watch. This data from my apple watch then replaced my data from the strava app. Is there a way I can see my run which i recorded on the strava app rather then the imported from Apple watch? 

Please Strava, can we see segment leaderboards by year! I’d love to be able to remind myself how quick I used to be 🙏

Someone made a post three years ago about this and still nothing resembling this kind of feature is available! It seems natural to want to highlight a favorite activity for people to see on your profile. Also don’t imagine it’s incredibly difficult to implement? 

You can only choose between two distance challenges every month (ride). Thats to ride 200km or 800km in one month. It’s a big leap from 200 to 800km. Why cant they also make a challenge for something in between. 400km or 500km in one month.
