Heat Map Feature

Thoughts on adding a heatmap feature to this so that routes run more often change to a certain color? I use this website (Strava Multiple Ride Mapper) to create a heatmap of where I run the most. If you could make a setting for a global heatmap of everyone running in your city to see where people run more often then others (could be for a variety of reasons like safety, bathrooms near, etc…) it could let you find better places to run depending on the need. Also a personal heat map for your live map would be cool that you could compare to the global one. Just a thought.

Hi @generalgreenlee, have you checked out Strava’s Heatmaps?

I think that’s a better source because there are >40million users there vs >100thousand here.

I think a citystrides specific heatmap would be cooler than a global one. It would tell a very different story. CityStriders tend to skip all the popular routes, so the map render would look quite different, potentially.

Plus let’s say a huge city has only a few runners (like 100s), you’d see areas of the city that have never been heatmapped at all, which sections have more coverage, etc.
