App route creator strange

The route creator on desktop is very good. On the app there are basic problems about route selection and making the same start and end will create very different routes on app vs desktop. The app will route longer in sometimes comical ways. Even when attempting to draw a route versus select points. Some examples when trying to make a simple route.

Promoting a Sponsored Cycle

Myself and group of other teachers at my school will shortly do a sponsored cycle over a period of around 10 days. We would like our pupils to be able to easily view our progress on Strava, but we don't want to risk them being able to interact with the the associated activities or muck about with the feed containing them by allowing them to join an associated club themselves. We would also want to stop pupils being able to easily see our previous, personal rides, from before we started the sponsored cycle, by simply scrolling down to the bottom of a club feed. I think this rules out using clubs for this cycle, and joining a group challenge (which might otherwise have worked, at least to a certain extent) is now restricted to premium subscribers, which would exclude 70% of the staff involved.Is there any way we can safely promote our sponsored cycle in Strava or do we have to look elsewhere? And if we do have to look elsewhere, does anyone have any device-agnostic suggestions? Thank you

Heart rate data suddenly not synching from Fitbit

All of the sudden no heart rate data.  And this is the foundation for relative effort and fitness. I tried to manually upload the file but Strava would not accept a duplicate file. Any ideas?

Family plan not in same country error

Hi, I've upgrade to the family plan and invited 3 people to join. We all live in The Netherlands, however 2 people get the error message that they don't live in the same country as me. We all live in the same city in the same country, so we should be able to join in the family plan. Please help out.

Tilt on the draw Route feature for mobile

Hello. There is probably an easy way to do this, but I think there needs to be a button to change the view back to a direct overhead vs tilt. I live in a very flat place where the tilted view is never that interesting. However, I do draw a lot of routes on my phone. Sometimes the screen gets tilted and for the life of me I can’t get it back. If there was a button or if you tapped the compass twice it would be nice if this changed the tilt back.  Thanks!

Manual upload multisport activities - duplicate

Hi ThereI've downloaded all my activities from my old strava account and now tried to upload them again in my new profile. I'm doing triathlon, so there are a few multisport activities. While uploading the files strava ist mentioning "xxxxxxxx.fit duplicate of Morning swim". So far so good. But then checking the activities, all those files are uploaded twice. Is there a solution to get them only uploaded once?Thanks and regardsBen

Adding heart rate to an activity (merging 2 FIT files)

Hi all,I'm trying to add my heart rate information from my smartwatch to a Strava activity. The Strava activity was uploaded from my stationary indoor bike.I tried the following two methods:Method 1:I exported both actives as FIT file and tried to combine these files with "GOTOES". The FIT files have been loaded correctly, and also the merging looked good.When re-uploading the combined TCX file to Strava I noticed that the "laps" data is wrong. My stationary bike is listing the different watt intervals as separate laps.Working:    Broken:    So I thought maybe there is something wrong how the files got combined because the first lap distance shows the total workout distance.Method 2:Therefore, I converted the two FIT files into CSVs (using the download "Download Raw Data" from GOTOES). I manually added the heart rate information into the Strava export, saved the CSV file, uploaded it to GOTOES again, and saved it as FIT.I can see that the laps in

Heat Map Not Updating Again

This issue is happening again periodically. Whilst there wer some slow updates following the recent server issues, I've two over the last couple of days which aren't showing up on my heatmap. I've tried changing sports and then resetting to no avail Funnily enough on both today and Friday when the no-shows have been recorded I've done another activity which does correctly show up up. On Friday the first activity showed, but not the second. Today it was the other way round. I'm getting a bit fed up of this.

How to remove/mute "motivational" messages from Strava

Since a few weeks ago Strava is at it again with pushing "features" down your throat. Now among the notifications for an activity I have to read Strava's stupid "motivational" messages (you're doing great, keep at it, da da da). Anyone can help me get rid of those?

Not getting Qoms I've earned

 Hello fellow sport-enthusiasts, I've started cycling three years ago and discovered Qoms. I love chasing qoms and gathered about 2000 of them in the those three years.Now *every* ride when I earn Qoms about half of them do not show up in my Qom results.When I go on my PC to a specific segemnt on which I am the Qom I do not get it, even if my time is much lesser than the current Qom.***What I have tried so far:- refresh results (both on the ride and on the segment page)- wait 14 days for Strava magic to happen- label my ride as a 'canoe-trip', refresh and turn it back to a bicycle ride and refresh- smacked my keyboard hard to my deskAll of this does not work.I emailed Strava and they could not help me. Just told me the 'canoe-trip-trick'.***Who has a brilliant idea?(I have added some examples for clarification and OF COURSE my rides are 'public')

Change Default Activity to Tennis

Hi All, I changed my workout patterns entirely and play tennis 4-6 times a week but want to track my cardio performance etc. I play competitively now but in my strava it only offers me to switch a default to cycling. It does, however, let me manually change activities to Tennis once they are registered. My activities are tracked on my Garmin and auto-upload.  Any help, workarounds, or alternative ideas for those mainly doing non-triathlon sports are welcome.

Edit a ride after saving

There's been a couple occasions when I wanted to edit my ride route after the ride was complete and there is no ability to do that.  A couple examples:The GPS tracking gets screwy and the shown route is actually not the route you took.  I'd like to be able to straighten out the screwiness after saving the ride.I forget to unpause a ride which removes all route info until I resume.  When a ride is resumed, Strava will draw a straight line from where I paused the ride to where I resumed.  I'd like to be able to fix that after completing the ride.

A way to filter KOM’s by user on map

Is there, or could there be a way to do this? You can obviously filter on the map for your KOM’s or starred segments, but say I want to poach a KOM from someone, but it appears you need to view a list of their KOM’s and individually check which ones are close

Edit a run distance

Hi All,I know you can crop a run however when I do Parkrun the route goes under a large highway bridge and the distance is too short, not too long. I can't figure out how to add the extra distance into the activity in my Strava app. I have the paid version and can edit in Garmin, just not in Strava. It seems odd to me if this is not possible. Am I missing something?

Subscription help allow others to join free

Hi there, will the change apply to users who join a group challenge or just to those who want to create a group challenge? We would like to create a challenge for volunteers at our charity to all participate in and were wondering if just one of us needs a paid account, to order to create the challenge, and then everyone else involved can join it with free accounts? Thanks! I have already started my a month trail and paid subscription from end of Sep. I tried to invite others to my group but they are not allowed to join without a subscription. Please could you help me.
