"View segments map" is missing

Hello everyone. I can see that Strava is pushing out some decent new features lately, but a recent one has given me a negative opinion. While it's really cool to see PRs and trophies on the activity map, a feature I really used a lot was the classic segments map. 

 

I and surely others enjoy seeing all segments on an activity, with PRs or not, in the context of the route. I use it to compare times from previous activities, discover new segments when I review, and find local athletes. Consider this missing use case: if you are or follow a user who does a lot of the same roads or new roads, you might have nothing show up on the current map for a given activity. Yes the list view still exists, but it would be a less enjoyable experience to go to a new location, ride or run, and need to dig around to learn about each segment you passed rather than the map+list. This change slows me down. The classic map+list also allows you to see where and how an athlete traveled, in case of an obstruction or updated routing, but the segment view screen shows how it was created which could be 2, 3, 5 years or more! 

 

In short, the full segments list with map is a powerful feature that I used all the time when reviewing my and others' activities. Perhaps not everyone uses Strava this way, but it's important to power users like me. Please reinstate this feature.

I am in definite agreement with you arc88!

I'd really like to see this feature reinstated.

Absolutely agree. I used to use the segment map all the time for context of where it was in the ride. Hope they will bring it back.
