Strava, a popular social-fitness tracking app, is looking to make route planning easier for its users. The company has recently implemented a new feature to its mobile app that allows users to crowdsourcing photos of potential routes.
The new feature allows users to find and plan longer routes with more detail and control. It also provides users with the ability to see exactly what a route looks like on the ground, instead of relying solely on an overhead view. All uploaded photos can be seen on the route overview in the mobile app, making it easier for users to map out an ideal route for their chosen activity.
To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the photos, Strava is only displaying photographs that were shared publicly by users who have been verified. In addition to verifying their accounts, users must also provide the exact coordinates of the photo they are uploading. This will allow Strava to map out the route and display relevant photos in the app so that other users can enjoy a more detailed look at where they should or shouldn’t go when planning future runs or rides.
The feature can also be used by other organizations and companies. For example, local bicycle shops can now provide customers with more detailed route overviews of trails in their local area. This will allow shops to better serve their customers and provide them with a personalized experience. It also makes it easier for local governments and outdoor enthusiasts to plan outdoor activities with more information on hand.
Strava’s new route planning feature is an exciting step forward for the app and is sure to make it easier for users to plan their activities. With the ability to view and explore potential routes, users can now make more informed decisions and create routes that meet their needs. This feature is expected to make Strava more popular than ever and continue to be a top go-to app for fitness tracking and route planning.
