Overall I really like having the maps route creation feature. It is much easier to create routes than using Google maps, since it smoothly connects the dots over much longer distances, sticking to roads and paths. Much much quicker to create a route. But there are some glitches …First, the distances are often long by as much as 5% … I don’t know how you are determining those distances, but they never match what I get on my run with my Garmin. Google maps is more accurate in that regard.Second, some of the decisions when connecting the dots are wonky. This is especially true if the option to follow most popular is selected. And since that’s the default, that’s what you get unless you change it. The routes are almost useless in this mode.Check out some of these route decisions:What I expected is marked in green. And I’m su

Hello Community Members,  We are here to let you know what to expect as FATMAP transitions to Strava. FATMAP and Strava joined forces in January 2023 to make outdoor experiences more accessible. Over the next several months, FATMAP's 3D maps and other features will be built into Strava to create the world’s best platform for planning, navigating, and sharing outdoor adventures with the largest global community of active people.As we move towards this joint mission, we will retire the FATMAP app and website on October 1, 2024. Until then, you’ll be able to use all the FATMAP features you currently enjoy. After October 1, several FATMAP features will be available in Strava, and the FATMAP app and website will no longer be available. FATMAP users who wish to transfer their routes or receive copies of their

Can someone at Strava provide an update on when we’ll be able access the 3D backcountry ski mapping capabilities that FATMAP offered through the platform integration? (i.e. slope angle shading and topography details?) This was a critical tool for alpine travel and many are hoping to rely on this for winter activities. 

Could we get an additional privacy setting for clubs?  If would be nice to have the option to have our rides private but being able to select the club of our choice to share our data with. This would be more probably targeted to competitive athletes that does not want to share training information with anyone but their teammates/coaches. 

Being able to go to the previous or next activity when you are on an activity. Rather than having to do "previous page" and click on the next or previous activity.

It seems that the Strava status page has been out of order for quite some time now. Is it under construction, or is a fix on the way..?I don't visit the page often but when I do, I appreciate the status information - to clearly see whether an issue is on my end or whether it's some hiccup on the server. With the lack of Uploads and Dashboard Latency information, it's hard to tell though.Thanks!   

Using anonymisation, could local legends (and segment competitions) be participated in by those with private profiles? Maybe Strava could anonymise local legend winners with private profiles using their initials, rather than giving their full name? Or usernames rather than first and last name.  

Add the option; remove activities/sports I dont use on Galaxy wear OS please.There are too many options to scroll through to find the ones I use

It would be cool to be able to search for ski touring/ back country routes, like you can search hiking and biking routes. I see there are some on there as you can come across them googling, but you can't currently search them in the app

Please make it possible to filter the heatmap by daterange or at least season.

Curently you can report riders from the web interface when they have forgot to tun the computer of after a ride sothat there effort in the car does not affect the segment leader board  my ask/suggestion is to have the same ability from the mobile app. Unfortunately I have alot of segments close to me that are next to a main road and weekly there are new KOM's where people have not turned of the cycling computers.

We should be able to record Saunas 

Hola me gustaría que Strava incluyese las actividades de deportes de combate y artes marciales en su seleccionador de actividades. Creo que sería muy útil para deportistas de multidiplina.

Hi,While my activities are visible to “followers” only, I get suggestions for “who to follow” on strangers whom Strava has determined that we’ve done activities together. How can this be disabled? I dont want to see this and vice-versa, i dont want strangers or bunch of strangers to know we’ve done activities together. While this is very general, finding the same information across a given group of users could provide some information about me I didnt agree to disclose. Please advise. Thanks

It would be ideal to have the option to view only the activities of the people I follow in the feed. For example, I currently see posts from both people and groups I follow, but sometimes I would like to filter it to display exclusively the activities of people, without including posts from groups.

Hey all. Would anyone know the Support ticket waiting times? I put in a ticket on the 1st January 2025 and it's still open. Even though it's under high priority. I thought they would of cleared the backlog already. 

Strava has options for different types of shoes and bikes for their activities.  Why not add the same idea for skiing? Alpine skiing, Backcountry, Nordic, etc.  Skiers have different skis for different conditions, e.g. powder skis, groomer skis, all mountain skis, skimo skis.

I am mostly active during winter on a hometrainer. To provide numbness down under I split up long activities into 2 or 3, 40-45 minute workouts.. This gives me a few minutes to give my sitting area some rest. But on Strava all the activities get uploaded separately. Also whenever doing any type of ride, I do a warm up workout of 18 minutes before diving into the planned workout for that day (to trick the fitness level a bit). Off course these workouts get uploaded separately. But here is what I’m requesting for, is it possible to add to the choose-able goals the choice of a counter that counts the days instead the number of workouts on a day? Off course it’s very pleasing to see by the end of the year that I have 600 workouts but to me that’s not fair, is it? Definitely not when working like my last example of the warming up/workout combination. 

Hey team, It looks like I accidentally turned off the .Ai analytics feature. Is there a way to switch it back on?

i’ve got this problem. i’ve recorded my weightlifting activity on my apple watch se this morning and have done an activity on the rowing machine and it hasn’t synced to my phone. does anyone know what to do if this has happened to them

Add “Fat Bike” to Sport. What’s the big deal about one more sport being added. When I ride my fat bike I’m riding a fat bike. Yes, it means more when ridden on snow, because no bike under 3” tires can’t come along. Riding on a beach or on the sand when the reservoir has been lowered 80ft. No standard bike can come along. If you are riding on an MTB trail, use MTB or fat bike. Theres different shoes, boats, bikes, and ski’s.

in the instructions for segments for Garmin devices there is a bar with the option to enable or disable 20-30 popular segments nearby. However, neither on the website nor in the application is there a possibility to enable such an option. I bought a Garmin device so that I wouldn't have to think about constantly marking segments with a star, but could ride and see popular segments at the same time. Why can't I enable this option?

Political polarization and division are constant and inescapable realities of life these days, and Strava is one of the few platforms that has remained mostly free from political discord. It would be nice to keep it that way. For the past few weeks I’ve been seeing constant notices in my feed that one of my follows has joined the Cyclists for Trump club. This strikes me as incredibly inappropriate and has nothing to do with what Strava is supposed to be all about. It would be just as inappropriate if the club was focused on any other political figure or cause. Politics simply doesn’t have any place here. Please get rid of any club focused on politics or political figures.  

What do you think about an idea to suggest in the section of possible friends, people who often run on the same routes by checking used  routes consistency, or often running same segments?It can work the same for other activities in the same way.This will let networking for people who live nearby to socialize in real live, to run or ride together, compete etc 

I will be happy if the platform can add one more control to the privacy settings, which is to make the activities visible to a smaller group of contacts, like favourite contacts for example. I don't mind sharing my activities but I don't want everyone to see what I am doing, except my close friends, groups, training buddies, etc
