Hello,

I would like to bring to your attention that Strava’s new navigation system has become very frustrating to use.

Since the latest update, several features that made your tool practical and reliable have disappeared:

A large stopwatch now takes up the center of the screen, which is very distracting for navigation.

The orange line of my route, which used to remain visible even when the screen turned off, now disappears.

Access to the Global Heatmap, which is still enabled in my settings, seems to be gone.

When my screen goes into sleep mode and I turn it back on, I lose my route and the overall experience is no longer smooth.

I am a Strava subscriber so I can plan and follow my routes, both during my travels and on local rides. Previously, your navigation system was a reliable and reassuring tool I could truly count on. Today, the experience has become difficult and frankly disappointing.

I do not know if these changes were intentional, but they greatly reduce the value of the service for paying subscribers who expect quality.

I sincerely hope you will take this feedback into account, as your previous navigation system was, in my opinion, much better.

Thank you for your attention.

Best regards,
Gilles
