Feedback: Heatmap changes

[GuyBeels]

What have you done to Heatmaps?  I do not care about businesses, or where other people have run, walked, or biked, and the new color selection interface does not allow basemap changes from the same interface (as it should).  Also, as I zoom out, the once-useful aggregation of workouts (showing a circle and number at scales where the actual paths get tiny and useless) is now gone.  Writing this as a cartographer, recent changes are not an improvement.  Is there a way to recover the old display mode?

The more the kudos/support/votes there, the more likely and sooner it will be implemented.

When I click that link, it brings me back to this thread, is that right? Or is there a new thread we should be voting on?

The heatmap update is so bad I am considering after >5yrs cancelling my subscription.   

[Trevvy]

Likewise. They have until it expires this summer to bring it back. No idea why they have changed it.

Yes, please bring back activity clusters to heatmaps. As someone who travels frequently it was one of my favorite features. Now it's next to impossible to find the various activities I've logged throughout North America and Europe.

The heatmap is one of my favourite features however I agree that the recent changes are a massive down grade. When zoomed out you no longer can see all the countries easily that you have covered and it takes a lot of zooming in before you even can see the activity. The old numbers were a great locator of where you have been but now you have to rely on memory to see where you have been. Please bring back the number count!!

The new date selector in the personal heatmaps is a nice addition but please bring back the "year picker" to quickly select a year. 

With the new date picker it is really hard to quickly compare years. 

[ClaireBear]

yeah, I agree,  the old one is considerably more functional.  

specifically, It was useful for seeing my heatmap for the current year grow for running and walking activities.  Now it is more complicated to select just the current year,  and impossible to show more than one activity type at a time.

Please bring back the activity clusters on the personal heatmap! The old version of personal heatmap was working just fine and it was one of the features why I renewed my subscription.
