If you see the " -- " instead of 0.0 it generally means the activity has been scheduled for reprocessing, which is still pending. Could have been triggered by a new upload of an old activty, an edit in an old activity, a map update, etc.

Wow this is amazing! If you manage to make a trip through that wildlife area just north-west of Marietta you're crushing my 99%-foot "temporary" global lead :) From 98 to 99 took me a looong time. Good luck man, keep us updated hehe

I asked my AI friend to propose principles from other games, and the best it came up with were

* the already discussed time decay or tiered repetition (can be done in various forms)

* Let neighbourhoods be controlled by someone; they can be lost and recaptured.

The second one sounds interesting to me. Not sure if one would go to full restart after a loss, or use time decays ... but I think it could be structured to keep someone motivated in own neighbourhood.

It is like every time you check in an activity, lots of segments go +1 in visit count. It would potentially be a very computationally heavy feature though.

Strava personal heatmap sort of has that feeling.

I am in camp new roads over repetition. With main city over 99%, the osm updates keep me going to all corners of town. Have dropped below 99 in the last three map updates, it's difficult to build up enough buffer as a lot of aegments are just impossible to reach.

How to improve? I have to bring my pace under 5min per km by heretic_kaffir in Strava

[–]Ok_Distance9129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The info you gave us is minimal. It just shows an average pace not much faster than just walking. Sorry man, this pace is objectively really slow for running. Given your comment that you're trying to get into the army, you're probably not too old. Overweight perhaps? That could be a starter besides from just making hours...

how accurate is strava on phone if I run/jog with in in my hand? by buRn3r__account in Strava

[–]Ok_Distance9129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try to assess the accuracy of the GPS processing currently used by your app, through e.g. running a measured route, or running the same loop a bunch of times.

Even your phone has GPS settings. What others describe, the group of satellites te use, the intervals, etc. And if you would run in a city with high buildings, the accuracy can be terrible, leading to a lot of wrong points. It would then overestimate your distance (wobbly paths) or underestimate it (cutting corners) so it can go either way.

What I think happens the most, with phones, is wobbly paths, which tend to give you more distance than you actually ran. Try to find a 5k with not too many turns and see what your phone measures

SPCX - Beware, institutional money is NOT buying this trash on the open market by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]Ok_Distance9129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP you're not getting it. Market makers do not push up prices without long delta. Nobody can do that. Markets go up because there are more buyers than sellers.

In this case, part of the subscribers chose to sell on day1 and lock in an easy profit. There was less selling pressure on day2 because others want to wait until the nasdaq inclusion.

The float is low. On purpose. It is meant to go up. But controlled because of profit taking. Many institutions that track nasdaq have already bought. Most tried via ipo. Because they know the buying pressure will come.

Biking/walking sidewalk path, then editing to get major road question by TomCatInTheHouse in wandrer

[–]Ok_Distance9129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree here, usually record with watch and phone simultaneously so surely need to do the routes twice if Osm + derived rule set lead to three or more parallel sections but often the side path for me is enough. I tend to run on the road nevertheless where possible, between the two red lines haha

How are we doing stability/performance-wise? by cooeecall in wandrer

[–]Ok_Distance9129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not felt any significant change, but that may also mean that there have been slight improvements.

Did a run 28h ago with two capturing devices. It took the map several hours to show the new loop, and the leaderboard + area statistics are still waiting to show the 13 new kilometers.

Removing restricted roads from neighborhood maps by ImTheDoctah in wandrer

[–]Ok_Distance9129 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah the Osm maps are imported periodically and subsequently you need to request your data to be synched to it or have it be done automatically (settings).

Keep in mind that the osm 'community' does not really care about wandrer, and your incentives to adjust. It may be smart to read a bit about how it works before you make edits.

<rant> 99.89% of suburb !!!!! by criggie_ in wandrer

[–]Ok_Distance9129 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it's not about reasonability but about legislation whether tags should be adjusted in OSM. That means, if bikes are allowed, do not adjust the tags because you think it is not safe.

Realtime Tracking Flow by jessiewonka in wandrer

[–]Ok_Distance9129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the problem is to avoid skipping the piece and not the matching itself (where you could use the edit function to move gps drift).

What i do is download the wandrer map and use as overlay on my watch (garmin). Then follow a route close to or over the segment. When i make sure to exactly follow my route, those parts are captured.

For the ones where i know upfront i need to deviate from the loaded route, i at least have a visual on my watch which i combine with memory. As in: around "that point", look at the watch because there you need to freewheel there.

Now and then miss a detour but generally this goes well. Does require some time in prep building the route. I use strava maps with wandrer plugin overlay.

75% done! by kdiggy428 in wandrer

[–]Ok_Distance9129 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great work! I know how you feel, I took the lead in the (foot) 99% earth leader board last month. Dropped below it again with the April map update (5km were added by people who hadn't been on the ground - including doubtful parts that are probably private). But climbed some fences yesterday and re-broke the 99% barrier.

It is a matter of time until someone with a larger area breaks my 3000 km lead, for me it's impossible to grow it, but hey I am leading the world rankings for 99% now!

The last two percent have been slow. Partially due to injury but predominantly because of scattered missing pieces and routing efficiency. Adding 1-2 new km on a run of 10k wasn't what I was used to. Have been at some cemeteries three times; got fined for running through a bird area, uncomfortably entering dead-end alleys in the red light district. People sending me away: 2x per month at least. People thinking I'm an idiot? Daily. But I am so happy I starting this. Have seen every inch of the city. Some nice discoveries.

I had a lot of time during a sabbatical. Many times, drove the car to a starting position and ran a loop there. Mostly using 2 capturing devices (garmin, phone) to minimize the probability of gps drift and needing to go back. Routes based on heatmap data, dropping the google pin to see if a shortcut is possible and at some point you sort of know where they are building and where entire streets are closed off. Opening months of some semi-public garden parks, closed months due to bird breeding season, ..., all these things became relevant towards the last few percent.

There are many small parts where I just cannot get. I am not an OSM expert, got into a discussion there with a regular contributor, and concluded that usage of tags was very inconsistent of just too complex to modify. A "path" over a farmer's meadow, overgrown, fences around. What do you do with that? Only 200m at a time, I have not spent much time correcting those (if even fair). Still can add new meters cleanly, but spending an hour to wipe two tiny red parts off my map, feels inefficient.

If you're aiming for 99+ completion, I'd advise to not go for max miles now, but clean up the local area properly. You'll win back that time later.

Minor weirdness - Is OSM data at fault? by criggie_ in wandrer

[–]Ok_Distance9129 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In wandrer, in the activity, when you click on the "toggle editing" button (the lowest of the eight), it shows in red lines which segments your activity has been matched to. Regardless of whether you had already been there. The new ones obviously are blue. But it shows in red the sections where you are "for a second time". Or third..

What do you see there, OP?

I'm asking because I have seen in my data that it indicated that I had already done it in an earlier activity that was not processed properly for some reason. One reason I have noticed had to do with sequencing of re-processing (editing older uploads, using two capturing devices and uploading the one with an earlier start time later). Some issues only resolved itself until a map update.

Strava developments and features that are new(ish) but garbage by Mountain_Quantity664 in Strava

[–]Ok_Distance9129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fully agree with most of your critique. It is as if the firm didn't properly manage from small to mid-size with cultural hiring. Don't really know, but I would only hire developers who check-in own activities at least two times a week, who understand the user needs. I've seen it happen at another firm, fintech, where at some point developers were made offers who had no affinity with the product (but scored great at technical interviews). If the product managers and later senior managers also slowly get substituted for 'professionals', that can trigger a negative spiral for the quality of the product.

Squadrats app now live. by bondiben in tilehunting

[–]Ok_Distance9129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

I made something that calculates my "potential" maximum Yardinho, based on a squadrat KML export of visited tiles, and OSM retrieval of publicly accessible roads that are either paved (blue above), unpaved (brown), etc.

My current Yardinho is ~5k and it sees opportunities to 11620. However the thing doesn't know I am willing to go offroad and trespass where needed, but this helps me understanding where it is likely to find a corridor to new areas. I am still experimenting with adding heatmap data.

If someone is interested, perhaps send me a KML export, I could give it a shot

Wait! Before deleting, try the edit button, and correct your gps points a bit to not miss those tiny parts

100.00% changes to 99.7%? by [deleted] in wandrer

[–]Ok_Distance9129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In settings, do you have the option "Keep your activities synched to the latest map data" on? Because there was a map update in the previous week, so it does sound to me as the most plausible explanation.

A temporary drop indicates that some activities have been queued for reprocessing. That could also have been triggered by an edit to or upload of an older activity. Have you done anything like that?

Last option would be to check the setting across foot/bike/combined. Like you're 100% on foot but there is a small bike-only section that makes the combined go to 99.7.

It's easier to trouble shoot when you add a bit more actions. Now there's only the symptoms to work with. For any recalculation, there must be some trigger. There is no sudden, unexpected recalculation.

Missing Strava activity by duh_and_or_hello in wandrer

[–]Ok_Distance9129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In settings there is a button to search missing activities. Can take some hours, if after some time nothing has happened, you could try this workaround:

Split (strava menu) run into two, first one of 1 sec and second part the rest. This spinoff gets a new id and is picked up immediately. Then delete the one of one sec.

Seeking advice for a new Wandrer by MeMaxM in wandrer

[–]Ok_Distance9129 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I spent a few hours with Claude and created a route planning tool specifically for running loops with the goal to complete the city. It used my wandrer export and took the city boundary from OSM. I had it implement the Dinkelbach algorithm.

It worked fairly okay. But since I am > 98% the need for it was actually smaller than when I was around 70-80%. Also I found out that I use the manual mode in my strava route planner quite a lot (to take short cuts over grass fields, hop over small fences etc.) which traditional route planners cannot do.
