It appears with the new heatmap update(?) that the feature of being able to see a personal heatmap overlay when looking at the ride/run of someone else has been removed. Perhaps I'm mistaken? If this is no longer available it is a big loss! I hope it will be restored!
Being able to see where someone has been and where I've been nearby is a great feature. I hope it hasn't been lost for long!
Thank you!
Hey
Could you be referring to our Global Heatmaps? More information on Global Heatmaps and Heatmaps in general can be found here.
Otherwise, unfortunately there isn’t a way to view your personal heatmap on top of someone else’s activity I do apologize.
This feature was operating as recently as a few days ago. Android app, fyi.
Hey
I’ll reach out to my team to gather more information on the recent changes to heatmaps. Once informed, I’ll provide an update within this thread.
In the meantime, if you have any additional questions or concerns please let me know.
Thank you for being a part of the Hub!
Appreciate it. Thank you!
Just a day or two ago I opened an activity by Jens Voght, riding in Tucson. It was cool to be able to compare his route to where I've ridden. As of today I'm not able to do that, though of course it could be something temporary.
It seems strange that this feature has been removed from the latest version of the app (which also coincides with the release of day and night heatmaps).
Until a few days ago (on the previous version of the app), I could open an activity, open the associated map and I had my personal heatmap as an overlay (as well as the route of the map). I think this could be toggled on and off.
This allowed me to see if a route I or someone else had run, overlaps with somewhere I have been. Useful for my own routes to see if I cut any corners/found a more efficient way of the mountain and with other people's routes for the “oh I run that trail 3 years ago” moments.
Very sad and strange that this feature has been removed given that heatmaps is the main reason I pay for Strava Premium and you seem to push she refine heatmaps. Hopefully, you will bring it back asap (and fix maps sometimes not loading at all).
Agreed, this was a great feature which is now missing 
please bring it back!
Hello everyone, I received an update regarding this feature.
Our team is aware of this being temporarily taken down and they are working on bringing it back sometime next year.
Thank you for your patience & understanding.
