Pretty straightforward request: please allow us to set a default Map Type (eg. Surface Type) instead of Standard. I train and explore in mostly rugged terrain, and I would like to convey that with a simple set-it-and-forget-it setting.

Thanks for submitting your idea on enabling a default map type. It has been reviewed by our moderation team and is now open to voting.

Take a look at ActivityFix (activityfix.com). I use it to set the map type for every ride to "gradient", and it happens automatically, without me having to think about it.

We shouldn't have to use a third party tool for something like this. Strava should be more user customizable.

I was looking for this setting for hours but it looks it doesn't exist.

How do I vote for this essential option?

@millardjk Thanks a bunch for the suggestion—ActivityFix is really super powerful. Now I wish Strava would allow setting an activity to public via the API.
