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.
It’s not FOSS but if you’re on iOS and your data is synced to health, HealthFit does this.
Im not currently an iOS user, but that’s still good to know for others I occasionally ride with.
