Has anybody seen/used the new Route Builder on Strava? I’m still seeing the older version. Any way to force the new version to load?

Did the same check yesterday - it’s very European now, with a high density of routes there, but quite limited in Canada, for example. There was a selection of bike and run routes around me, but not a lot, and most from just a few users.

The estimated time is based on your past rides, I forget the exact formula. On z2 rides (1-3 hours) I’ve found the estimated time to be within a few minutes.

I submitted to Strava support about incorrect or unknown surface data and received the following response: [image] Pretty cool that I received a pretty quick response. (less than 24hr)

You can expect the same issues from komoot, they also use OSM as their data source (including surface data).

Got the free 60 trial days and am giving this a shot. Unfortunately, the paved route and popular tarmac area I mentioned earlier still isn’t able to be routed over. I guess this must be an OSM error or something… Here’s a pic of my dragging the waypoint onto the heatmap zone, but Strava still won’t …

You can always switch to manual mode if you know there is a road there. I do that sometimes when I have the same issue. Distance may be off a touch but it works.

For sure, that’s always an option. The problem is this road is part of a huge percentage of my routes, so every time I go and create a new route, I have to manually work it out. RWGPS, MapMyRide, and Komoot all recognize the road so it saves tons of creation time. Makes Strava seem extremely slow

Since it’s OSM based then you, yes you hanging around at the back of the class, you!, can make the changes yourself. Just create an OSM account then edit accordingly. Obviously be mature about it - upgrading someone’s private driveway to a public road isn’t clever. The next time Strava (or Komoot, …

Thanks for the detailed info on OSM and mapping in general! That’s good to know

One thing that would be cool for Strava routes is a pacing plan. I’m not sure how the estimated time is worked in to the route specifically, but say i have a 4 hour route planned. It would be neat to click on a point on the map and have strava tell me “1:45” so I know to get the route completed in 4…
