It would be interesting to be able to indicate on the map the points where we take the photos/videos that are placed in our activity.

Hey guys , any idea when Strava will stop ruining mountaineering stats? A week ago I was hiking Kilimanjaro and I was surprised how badly Strava is working while hiking or walking slowly at high altitude. My Garmin data show the elevation gain of 1200 meters and 9 hours of hiking during the summit attack but then after the synch with Strava, my stats showing just 500 meters of the elevation gain and 2 hours of moving time in the app.

I am reporting a bug. It's cosmetic but annoying. If there is a better place to report this let me know. "Hey Google. Start run. Sorry, that shortcut will only work on an Android phone with that app installed" This Google Assistant command works fine without warning until you add in "Pixel Buds Pro". With Buds the command still works but with the added warning. https://store.google.com/product/pixel_buds_prohttps://assistant.google.com/services/a/uid/000018da566a3838?hl=en-US

My Wahoo elemnt bolt reads 18.3 Ave speed and Strava 18.2 Ave. This happens quite often on many of my rides at the moment. Why is this?

Currently I have the phone app looping around forever attempting to sync an activity, which possibly fails because it exactly overlaps a existing activity. Only one actual activity was recorded today. See below.Reviewing the details of the pending activity:

Is there any way to filter activities included in the global heatmap in Android app ? This would be useful as when I'm riding a bike I don't want to see ski trails.Also should the personal heat map be working in Andoroid app ? Currently it says that "Your heatmap isn't available yet. Your heatmap will generate automatically after you upload at least one GPS-based activity". I sure have upload a lot of GPS-based activities ...

I am glad the issue with 3D mapping was fixed rapidly, however, live tracking/mapping is still faulty: The 2D map has only one scale for tracking. If you pinch to zoom out the blue dot stops scrolling and the map has to be constantly repositioned. Pressing the crosshairs will centre and scroll, but immediately rescales to fully zoomed in, i.e. the map should scroll with the scale I've selected.

I downloaded Strava with one intention. To beat my brothers time to hike up Ben Nevis. I Paid the annual subscription and I drove to Scotland. My brother and I had walked up a few weeks before that and ranked 5th fastest without really pushing. So we decided to come back and try again, but this time we would walk our own walk and see who could go up fastest. I beat my brother and was sat waiting for him at the top for 3 minutes. Somehow, Strava did not record it. It clearly shows my route and the time, but doesn't match it up to other people. I followed the same path as my brother and I had walked last time. My brother followed the same path as me (only a few minutes behind) and he was recognised! I don't know why this has not worked but its very annoying. I am not walking up again to prove my point, its a 6 hour drive away. If I bought a smartwatch just for that walk and it didn't work, I could get a refund. This is a simple consumer rights issue. 

Unsure if this is available in WearOS 3 as I haven't received the update yet. But in the current version, it would be very handy to link the HR to an external monitor (chest straps/forearm straps) as getting HR reads from the watch (wrist) is inaccurate in many devices and the problem worsens as the intervals shorten  

Just curious what you're using and why you like it ... I have the Apple Watch 6. It's cool. Nothing to rave about. I mainly track strength training, HIIT, walks and hikes. Only been swimming with it a few times. It pairs nicely with the Apple Health app. However, I don't use the Strava app on the watch. I like the way the Apple fitness options sync with Strava and doing a manual import vs auto. Just me.  

Hello. I can upload photo and vidéo to my activities using wifi. But when I am using 4g mobile data, it is not working. It keep turning without uploading or progressing. Once I turn on wifi it works fine.Has anyone the same issue?

Hi Guys, have just found and joined the Climbfinder website, which is well worth using and exploring, I was very sorry to see however that Strava currently does not sync with Climbfinder. The team at Climbfinder tell me this is because Strava are currently developing their own feature or version of this, does anyone know anything?

The integration with Garmin is probably my most used, clocking in at 5-6 times per week, followed by the Concept2 ERGdata app. One commonality I've noticed is that STRAVA will shave a very small amount of distance off a recorded run or row, but more frequently on runs, and it's not much - less than a tenth of a mile.  But it's so prevalent that the folks in my run clubs have just defaulted to "rounding up for STRAVA".  It's quite an agonizing thing to race a half marathon, stop at 13.1 miles on the nose, only to have STRAVA record it as 13.09.
