Personal Heatmap Clusters gone again

I just checked my heatmap and it seems like after the latest update we lost activity clusters again. I cannot figure out a way to toggle them off or on. They are not showing up. Can someone please explain how, maybe I am missing something but this article seems outdated already after 6 weeks. https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918467-Personal-Heatmaps The clusters are the best way to see where in the world you have done activities, otherwise you have to keep zooming and scrolling around trying to maybe find where you were. Plz bring them back.

Virtual ride from Garmin does not import to Strava as such

Hi, whenever I use my Indoor mode on Garmin Edge 540, my rides import to Strava as standard Rides, not marked as Virtual in any way. Can we have a fix for this or at least give us the option to choose it in the drop-down?  Thank you!

Completed Challenges Displayed @ Activity

I wonder why Strava randomly picks one of the challenges that are completed in a single activity. Usually Strava picks one that is subpar to the others.. Ie if a 30hr challenge, a 1hr challenge and a 5k challenge are completed i would like to see the one where i put most effort in displayed @ my activity. In this example that would be the 30hr challenge. Tho as said usually Strava picks a subpar one, ie the 5k or the 1hr. Ideally all completed challenges would be displayed, or less ideal but better than random would be if we could choose which challenge will be displayed from a dropbox.

FATMAP

Hello, I loved FATMAP and used it regularly to plan ski touring routes. Now on their site it’s says you have migrated. I have now signed up for a free trial of strava pro. But there is no access to maps that I can find the same way there was on FATMAP. Any chance you can turn FATMAP back on untill you guys have worked through the bugs?  many thanks adam

My routes does not work. Impossible to creat a route.

As I enter my start location and point and click with the crusor the spot i want to go to, it choses a point somewhere else, sometimes close, and even upto 1000 km away.  It is impossible to create a route i was used to.  Even the route that gets suggested, i can not change, impossible to put extra route points or to alter the proposed route.  In chrome and in Edge, I have this problem.  Do any other have this problem?  Is there a way to solve it?  Greetings.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE losing access to paid account

What is the complicated issue I’m solving?? <<< I lost access to an email address (which was part of a Google suite, so no actual password but click-through logins). I can no longer log into a paid account. >>>That’s literally it. Since I lost my account, I had created another account to contact Strava support. I submitted tickets, emailed the support desk directly, and attempted to call. No help whatsoever. Now if I submit a ticket, it becomes flagged as solved (wth??) All I needed is to change the email to the account so that I am able to log into my account (shouldn’t it be a given if I’m paying the subscription???). It’s not that complicated. You should have built the functionality to recover an account in case they lost an email address or Facebook account. People change jobs and they become logged out of what they had. Don’t you get it?? How many more hours should a paying customer spend on solving this issue? It literally should’ve take

Heatmap Errors

I have an oddly specific heatmap issue I am hoping someone may be able to help correct. I often use a bike-train-bike approach to commutes, pausing my watch for the train ride and resuming during the second leg of the bike ride. There are 2 specific efforts where the train ride remains on the heatmap, so using the custom date filter I was able to find each effort and split into 2 activities, then cropped out the last few hundred feet before/after the train, but the tracks still remain in the photo below. As I said, oddly specific, but does anyone have an idea how to correct this minor aesthetic issue?

Inconsistency when creating segments

When I create a segment, I don't understand why the segment in the opposite direction appears as a segment similarity. It has nothing to do with it, I think it doesn't contribute and it causes the list of suggestions similar to the segment to be very long.

Weight Training duration cannot be cropped, I often forget to stop activity. Is there any chance to set max duration ?

User interface problems

Hello Community,I’m reaching out to address some user interface issues I've been encountering recently and to seek advice or potential solutions from fellow users and the development team.Here are the key problems I've noticed:Navigation Confusion: The layout of the navigation menu has become cluttered, making it difficult to quickly find frequently used features. An intuitive and streamlined menu could greatly enhance usability.Inconsistent Button Functionality: Some buttons do not respond as expected or have inconsistent behavior across different sections of the app. This inconsistency can be confusing and frustrating, particularly when performing routine tasks.Display Errors: Occasionally, certain elements do not load correctly or are displayed improperly. This includes overlapping text, distorted images, and misaligned content, which detracts from the overall user experience.Accessibility Issues: There are some accessibility features that seem to be lacking or not functioning as in

Erroneous Notification Indicator

When I get kudos the notification indicator in the iOS app tells me I've got 3 kudos, but when I go into notifications there will be just the one. Likewise when it says I've got 5 kudos, there may only be 2. Anyone else getting this issue?

Activity views different

Strava browser web view is archaic and hasn’t changed in 10 years or more!Does Strava have any plans to update this view and make it match the more modern Android app data display? How do I make heart data always display in web view? Mousing over the graph below the map in webview is the only way to obtain certain data, such as the current BPM or the starting/ending minimum heights.  However, the resolution is poor, with a spacing between data points of about 15 seconds.  This is unacceptable. 4. When mousing in webview, it is difficult to control the mouse in small increments.  Should be able to use the cursor keys to move left/right in 1 second increments. Splits should show average and max BPM, if available. Webview shows the moving time and pace but not the average speed. “Elevation” should be changed to “elevation gained”, otherwise people might confuse the number with max elevation.

Mentions - Visibility

If an activity’s visibility is set to “Followers”, when I mention an user, who is not a follower, do they get an information that they got mentioned? I suppose: yes.But does this overrule the activity visibility setting for this mentioned user as well? I suppose: no So, these users get notificated, but cannot see the activity, right?

route in parts

I am going to cycle 350 kilometres in a route that is 500 kilometres. I will cycle 70 km and 30 km in a car, another 70 on the bike and 30 in a car and so on. Can I get this on strava in one ride or do i need to upload each 70 km?

Average speed is incorrect

Strava is displaying a far more slower average speed than it actually is. On a 5km 32 minutes run it shows an average speed of 6.2 km/hr. This should be 9.4 km/hr

How to digitally remove a section of an actually walked route?

I’m trying to find out if it is possible to correct a route you have made in the computer but failed to follow exactly due for example temorary roadworks. Or you inadvertently turned into the wrong street and had to back up. How can you remove those ‘tails’ from your route after the route was saved in strava?
