Strava Heatmap over regular or satellite map

[pcenachi]

Dear Paulo,

thank you for the information. I've now added Esri Topo with the Strava Overlays.

Christian,

Do you think would be possible to implement in Routeconverter a popup window, requesting the user to insert his Thunderforest key, and automatically use this API key on default.xml respective line?

That's what I'm now working on ;-)

Hello Christian,

Did you see the news about Strava heatmap?

Tiles maps we use are still outdated. Trying to find if they will make available updated tiles map servers... Looking forward to find.

Regards,

Paulo

No, thank you for pointing this out.

What do you mean by that? I don't understand it.

I mean the"globalheat.strava.com" lines used in route converter are not updated with this new heatmap database. I'm trying to find if Strava developers will update these same tile servers, or create new ones.

NEW Strava Heatmaps - updated database tile servers - Lines edited in Routeconverter.html, tested with success in RouteConverter 2.23 Snapshot 5 (screenshot attached).

See attached the difference between Screenshot 1 (new Strava map) and Screenshot 2 (old Strava map).

Definitely looks nicer

I would also enjoy having the new updated heatmap. As a suggestion, after checking Strava's own route planner Beta, I found it would be nice to have one more map showing the heatmap layer over a Satellite map and with Topo contourlines, just the way Strava shows.

Thanks and cheers for your nice work!
