Hi, I have a suggestion which I believe would be useful for many others. I have collected a fair amount of road cycling routes in my profile, typically routes I have either cycled myself and routes I would like to do in the future. When going for a vacation, it would be very useful if I could visualize all these routes on the same map, so that I can better plan how to visit (some of) these routes. I know I can do a search within my own routes, but a visualization would make it easier to plan where to go to visit a suitable selection of them. Such a page would of course be most useful if including the possibility to filter the routes (e.g. by sport/activity type, surface or other features). And, indicate whether I have done the route before or not. ... View more

Need: In rural areas (and non rural?), there can be homes with potentially dangerous dogs.  Feature: Allow users to drop a pin on the map with details based on their experience. Maybe classify into a few levels, one being “extreme caution: will chase you past property.” Note size of dog, eg 100lbs. Maybe time of day. And user perspective “I’m overly cautious” to “I’m brave as a cougar” or whatever.  ... View more

Combine beacon functionality with something similar to "flybys" in real time for group activities. A ride leader can set the route, and then add athletes via link, QR code, etc. Once joined up with the leader, you begin the group ride and can see both the route on the map and location of riders in your group. Add functionality to "stop the bus" and signal the leader that you have a mechanical or have fallen behind.  ... View more

It seems like global heatmap settings (color, activity type, etc.), are not stored in cookies, so they reset every time you reload page. This is suboptimal as users who regularly use global heatmap have to spend time and clicks setting the same settings over and over again. Solution: store settings in cookies or cache ... View more

I often follow a route using the Strava mobile app running on my phone attached to the handlebars. One problem with the map view is that it doesn't show you the live activity data such as time, speed or distance. This would be really useful to save us having to switch back to non-map view to view this data.   ... View more

As the title suggests I would like a way to download the personal heatmap as an image file . Only because I would like to hang this on my wall. I'm sure lots 9f other people out there would like this one  ... View more

I like creating routes on Strava, and I also like following specific trails such as the Jurassic way, South downs way etc.  The problem I've had is its hard to differentiate between one path and another, and finding it challenging to create a route with the trail I want to follow in mind. I've taken to creating routes on the computer whilst looking at a OS map or on a map of the route on my phone and trying to plot the route on strava by looking between the two. My Idea is, on strava maps to have an option to highlight specific official routes that are in the map window in separate colours so it's easier to create routes along them, and also the ability to search for specific routes and highlight them that way as well. For example the pennine way in red, Jurassic coast in blue etc Finally, the ability to record how much of each route you have completed in activities. ... View more

Strava propose actually 2 maps : "Standard map" and "Satellite map". It could be interesting, i think, to have a third map on Strava. The "KOM Map". This idea consists to see all the segment with a specific color about the map where a cyclist hold KOM. I know a Professional Cyclist, retired from sports, which holds enormously KOM where he lives. Thanks ... View more

Ciao. Please make POI icons bigger and clearly visible on map. While travelling in a new place it's difficult to find the best area to train or hike without zooming in. I'm suggesting something like the POI on Komoot. You can spot them immediately opening the route planner. On Strava it's not so simple. Thank you  ... View more

I love to get out and explore new areas on my bike, and I spend a lot of time studying the global heatmap and my personal heatmap searching for new places to ride. I also study other people's rides looking for ideas for my own routes. I would love to have the ability to see my personal heatmap projected onto someone else's ride to see if I have already passed through or close to the area they rode. I could save the other person's ride as a route and then see my heatmap in the route builder, but that adds an extra layer of complication. If the function already exists in the route builder, it should be pretty easy to add it as an option in the ride overview.      ... View more

Would like to see a mid-level subscription maybe in the $2-$3/month or $18-$25/year range that only includes the current free features and adds the formerly free Route features, without including all of the other things that people may or may not want in the full subscription.  ... View more

I would love to zone off an area, say a 1/4 mile around my house where if I go back hone to take a break I don't leak my address to everyone without having to finish my ride and start a new one  ... View more

On the default strava map, the train rails are only visible on a high zoom level. This makes it cumbersome to use.   Rails are important landscape festures for navigation and orientation in the terrain. When planning a long run or ride I often want to end it on a train station to get back. The map shows highways quite well. Give us trains too! ... View more

When viewing a route on a web browser, it would be beneficial to see a floating map and/or elevation profile while browsing the various segments on a route. On longer rides where the list of segments take up the whole page, viewers need to scroll past the map and elevation profile of the route to view all segments. This prevents a user from seeing the corresponding elevation profile and map section of that segment once they've scrolled past those maps.  Having a hover option or putting the segments into a scroll box would enable users to view all of the segments and their corresponding elevation profile and map section without needing to scrolling up and down or open a segment in a new tab. ...

As a runner, I often separate my run into separate sections, like a warm-up before a run, or sometimes I’ll split my run in half: a fast pace section and a slow pace section. To reflect the different pace/intensity of my training, I often post these sections as separate activities, naming them “part 1”and “part 2”, for example.  I would love the ability to record up to three separate sections of an activity, posted as one activity. Ideally, this would present as multiple lines of stats (pace, etc.) above the map labeled something like “section 1”, “section 2”, etc., and these separate sections would be indicated on the map route somehow (such as “start” and “end” markers, or colour coding of some kind).  ...

Can we add location for all official races by Province/County and Country to show a heat map on the world map where you have been. There are people who spend their hard earned money to run all over the world and to show this on a map would be very encouraging especially given the world majors within the running discipline.  This will also help be awesome when you give the annual summary to show all the provinces/counties within a country or in other countries where you have participated in races. Statistics would be  # of Provinces: xx  # of countries: xx ... View more

I'd like to hide the map by default for virtual activities like Zwift.  ... View more

A lot of countries have a national mapping agency that provides their topo maps as web services (usually OGC WMS or WMTS). The national topo maps give additional information about route/trail types, topo names, have better symbology, etc. Within the create route tool (web browser), It would be very useful to add the possibility to add an external map service as background map. Instead of opening another map window besides the Strava planner and comparing, it would be much easier to simply add the map as background.   ... View more
