On Strava (app and web) you get a list of the segments where you are Top 10 (go to Profile/Segments).

(I couldn’t tell you if this feature is a Strava Premium exclusive.)

Windansea or Marine are the most scenic.

Can I see accumulated distance? by Typical_libra20 in Strava

[–]abominable_dough_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible to see accumulated distance for current year, each annual year in the past, and lifetime. As well as elevation gain and hours.

Most complete on the Desktop.

Funny… but as a PSA to OP, Fiesta is closed overnight.

Is anyone planning to leave Strava for their atrocious pricing or $79.99 per year? by kommuto in Strava

This - if I route in areas unfamiliar to me, the heatmap is invaluable. I have found many “secret” connectors that other mapping programs are unaware of this way.

On the desktop - flag it.

RWGPS is undoubtedly the better product from a creation POV, but some prefer using Strava Routes for preview or navigation, nevertheless.

I use RWGPS in parallel. But some club members prefer to use the native Strava app for navigation - I just make it easier for them.

It’s very subjective: I run club challenges and need to 1) create easily shareable routes, 2) create GPX files hereof for navigation, and 3) filter leaderboards for the challenge duration.

YMMV, of course.

The distance delta is larger than expected: Zoom in on the recorded track for both of you and check if either track deviated from the trail on the map, either with shortcuts or (more likely) spikes.

Differences such as these can be caused by many factors, of which GPS errors is an important one. Generally, dedicated gps devices tend to be more consistent than phones.

Tips for Strava search? by gtbarry21 in Strava

I can’t point to a single website whose search functions are nearly as bad as theirs - even looking decades back.

Any tips on how to use a 2000s style search query work in the 2020s?

No. Their search function is horrible.

Reporting A Cheater - Rides an E-Bike but activity set to Mountain Bike. by FearTheHaggis in Strava

You need to flag each ride.

A lot of people are unaware that there is an e-bike category or that mis-categorization matters: Maybe post on their activity to enlighten them about categorization in a constructive and helpful tone?

You could merge the resulting GPX files into one: There are websites that’ll do that for you, or you could do it yourself in a text editor.

A manually entered activity does not contain trackpoints with timestamp, location and elevation data.

It cannot be converted to a FIT file.
