Hello Fellow Fitness Focused Lemmings!
I started biking more a few years ago for fitness purposes and the thrill of exploration. Strava has a feature where you can overlay all your rides on top of a map that you can pan and zoom in and out on. They call this the “Personal Heatmap”. I always try to cover new ground and explore places I haven’t been and (as a map nerd) it gives me a thrill to see all my tracks and even the epic long distance rides I did on trips or a few years back.
- Does anyone else know of any other applications or programs that can do this?
I like how Strava shows the “heat” (how many times you’ve been through a particular route will change the color), but this is not absolutely essential for me. Most important is that I can put all my GPX files on top of a map in a giant messy web of everywhere I’ve been.
Extra credit goes to any recommendations of FOSS solutions because my main motivation here is to make sure that I can persist my data even if I am not using Strava anymore.
- Additionally, if you know of any other communities on Lemmy that might be well-positioned to answer these questions, I would appreciate your insights as well.
Im not currently an iOS user, but that’s still good to know for others I occasionally ride with.
