Hi all, I’m looking for some insights into the new territories function. I find it super cool and also super confusing! Specifically, I’m wondering how often they’re updated and how much overlap is required between activities for a connection to be made. The northern bound on my largest territory should be quite a bit further north from what I can tell, as the line is drawn across the middle of the road that I continued on within a single activity. It’s in the middle of a neighborhood I’ve run and walked in a couple times, and as far as I can tell, the activities overlap in a couple places. I’ve seen some gaps shared in other posts, but that doesn’t appear to be my issue. A little problem occurs at the southern bounds of my territory, but I think that may be a trail run issue, while the north is definitely on noded roads. Any information is greatly appreciated!

There is no minimum amount of overlap, but there is _zero_ gap tolerance.
It can take a keen eye to see the gaps sometimes. In your case, I see a frustratingly tiny gap at the intersection of Saddlebrook Rd and Lapp Rd, which will exclude everything north of there, up to Saratoga Springs, from your largest territory.

Hi Tim, thanks for catching that. I guess I misunderstood the bounding algorithm then. Since that area was still contained within the territory I assumed it wouldn’t interfere with edges. Got it now.
