Hi @chrismarino2020, and welcome to CityStrides! I’ll let @stone.kev answer separately, but thought I could throw in my two cents as a supporter of the site, and an other enthusiast like you.
Check out this Wiki, which explains everything About Becoming a Supporter. I have certainly found the benefits transformational in how I train, run, and cover my city streets.
I use Garmin, and being a supporter got access to the new integration as decribed in this announcement. It’s taken the loading time from multiple days to being instantaneous.
