Is there still no way to export existing segments into GPX files? The only thing I could think of was creating my own route, but you can't seem to do that from existing segments. If I manually choose a start and end point, it doesn't accurately follow the trail. Thanks for any input!

It adds a waypoint every time I click on the map. But if I plan a route on a complicated trail network and want to get the route exactly the way I want I need to click on the map a lot. That isn't different from how the route planning worked before. But now it inserts waypoint at every point I clicked at the map. But what's next? - I can't rename those waypoints. Names don't stick.- I can't remove those waypoints because that triggers the reroute. That's not what I want. - Waypoints don't propagate to Garmin. That was the main feature I expected.Basically, these are not true waypoints. They are more like anchor points that Strava calls waypoints. Waypoint is what I want to be notified about during notification. For example Garmin devices allow tracking distance remaining or ETA to the next waypoint. That's not what Strava provides with this update. In fact, as I can tell nothing has really changed other than entering a point by searching for it

Recently, I've noticed my Split Pace and distance to be very off. At first, I thought it was my Apple Watch series 6 that was providing inaccurate data.  But today I ran on the treadmill where my watch and treadmill provided consistent data at a consistent pace, whereas when I uploaded to Strava, the pacing was all over the place by 20-30 seconds off of what the watch and treadmill were telling me. The total distance in the splits was also off by 400 meters, but the overall summary total distance looked accurate. The treadmill run / loading the activity onto Strava looks like it confirms the fact that my Strava has been grossly inaccurate when uploading the data off the watch. Anyone else experiencing this issue and any tips to fix?

Good afternnon and greetings from Scotland.Im looking for on advice on Segment creation please .Im doing a local project of walking all the local Rights of way in my home town .im using strava to record the walks and would like to create a segment for each Right of way in all sports /Disciplines so in the fiture i can view who and how many times the Right of way has been used .can anyone tell me if this is possible to create a multi sport segment or do i have to create a segment for each individual sport catagorie eg walk,cycle,ebike,run,horse riders etc thanks for reading my post and i look forward to hearing your adviceTam Miller 

When I look at the activities of other people, I see whether someone has improved segment times, set a top 10 time, set a KOM time or whether this person has become a local legend of a segment.When I look at my own activities, I only see a trophy on the web with the number of my improved performances and whether I have driven a KOM or top 10 time. In the App, instead of the trophy, gold/silver and/or bronze medals of improved segment times are visible. If I become a local legend for a segment, I cannot see this.People who follow me will see this. They clearly see "Sander has just become the Local Legend of segment X".Now I can see in the app and on the website under my profile that I am a Local Legend on several segments, but why is that not visible to me in the activity where I became this, while followers do see it?Why is the laurel crown not visible next to the KOM, top 10 and medailles icons?

Ahoj , proč se mi trasa v mapě ukazuje černě , nikoliv červeně? Poté nikdo mapu nevidí , díky  TRANSLATION: Hi, why does the route appear black on the map, not red? After that, no one can see the map, thanks

I CANNOT PUT MY GROUP LINK IN MY PROFILE BIO, WHY SO?

Due to the different disciplines (mtb, road, gravel) and the different vehicles (e-bike, bike), it would be useful and coherent if the segment ranking were shown by filtering the results based on the type of activity (mountain biking, pedaling, gravel) and excluding (always) the performance collected through the use of electric or pedal-assisted bicycles to avoid distorting the results.

Hi to all!!!!Please, from last versión many updates around privacy have been added in a good way (I think) but I miss some privacy in the profile page with the option “only me” to hide the annual kilometres to my followers/contacts….. securely some similar request has already uploaded, but I haven’t abled find it within the forum, forgive the inconvenience if it has been so.thanks and best regards.

I received an email that I got two CRs, but in reality I only got one. The other was a PR and outside of the top 10. Also the name of the user and the name of the segment are prefixed with numbers.I love the app by the way. Keep going 🙂

Hi, In achievements:  where users get medals and personal bests etc. There are still miles (1/2 miles, 1 mile, 2 miles) even if users have "Metric" selected as the default in the settings. Now, users who selected metrics should not be forced to see miles anywhere in the app and vice versa. World standards for running are as follows: 400 meters. 800 meters. 1500 meters. 3000 meters etc. (100m and 200m for sprint)

In this graph/chart at the bottom showing pace and heart rate, can you tell what is the pace and what is the heart rate? If the answer is 'no', then please add legends on the left and right axis accordingly to it please. Thank you.

It would be great to be able to compare all your Strava segments directly with someone on your friends list so you could see which segments you had in common. (This used to be supported by a 3rd party app so its doable). Cyclists are very competitive this would be a great addition. It would make it much easier to see what segments you have in common so you can try and beat their time. I think when this feature stopped working on the 3rd party app it was stated that it was a privacy issue. This seems strange as you only have people on your friends list that you want and you can block people ìf needed

feature maps should be updated and less political or representative of any organization (debunked or not).  

Hello! I am using Strava for recording windsurfing sessions (amongst others). Although I have selected “metric”, the speed is measured in kn. How can I switch to either kmh or mph? Thanks, Aris

I have a problem when logging into my account from my PC to the strava website. I see not info under Activities or routes or anything else. It works fine using my mobile app. I have tried to contact strava support. I have msged them and emailed and have raised tickets. They say they will get back to me right away but Ive had no response whatsoever. There appears to be no other way to make contact like a phone number. If this persists I will have to cancel my membership which is a shame. Looking online this seems to be a recurring issue. Its disappointing. Does anyone know of a phone number i can use or a better way?

I’ve enabled flyby in the settings, via mobile app and tried via URL sit but I can’t get it to work?

I use Map my Run to record my runs and it integrates to Apple Health perfectly.  Is there a way for this to also link to stava so I don't have to manually download the TCX file and upload it?  When I use Apple Workout from my watch to record my runs it integrates to Strava perfectly  Ideally, I don't have to manually move files nor utilize 2 different running apps at the same time. Any thoughts?

I have the band and Mi Fitness app on my iphone 11 Pro. Strava has authorised access . Yet when i start a run and click on the Strava Heart icon it cannot find my Smart Band 7 and so my heart rate is not recorded with my run data.how to solve this ? 

Strava has a lot of great information about my activities, so I'd love to see it use that information to create adaptive training plans.I'd like to be able to do things like:Tell Strava that this is an easy run, so warn me if my heart rate gets too high.I want to increase my efficiency (run faster for same effort/heart rate): use AI to figure this out.I want to increase my endurance for this distance (or where I tell it which route I want to run), again use AI to figure this outEncourage me in appropriate ways during these runsI don't want to have to use other apps (that don't have my long Strava history) to do this.  

My Ergometer supports two modes: normal "bicycle" mode, and "handcycling". When it synchronizes the activites with Strava, I could manually change the sport type to "Handcycle" prior to the recent updates.Since the recent updates, new activities are automatically tagged as "virtual" (which is fine). However, within virtual activities, there are only three sport types: Virtual Run, Virtual Ride and Virtual Row. Because the virtual tag cannot be removed, I have no way anymore of properly recording my activities as handcycle.Hence, I suggest to add the sport type "Virtual Handcycle".Probably, there are also other sport types that should have a virtual twin. An option could also be, to not limit the sport types within the virtual flag, i.e. instead of "Virtual Run", you can just choose "Run" with the virtual tag.

I am not receiving any Strava notifications, and if I try to turn on 'Friends Activities' notifications, the app doesn't realize that it is on. The video upload did not like my link, so here's a video of the app not recognizing it's own settings.https://youtube.com/shorts/OCrteJIsOEE?feature=share

Is there a place where you can see new features being released in Strava?  With the new price increase, I would like to know what new features are being added to know if it continues to be worth the cost.   I do not see a place for release notes or anything like that.
