Pretty handy for moments when there's a fork in the trail
to be juuust right. You need to know enough about your route through nature so you don’t end up on a trail that’s too hard, too easy, too hot, or too crowded. But you still want there to be a sense of exploration and adventure.
Helping hikers, runners, and mountain bikers achieve that balance as they hit the dusty trail is the aim ofnewest feature, Trail Routes. Released Wednesday, Strava Trail Routes are an interactive portion of the app’s map that shows trail networks all over the world to help users choose the route that’s right for them.
“People want to explore. They also want to know exactly what they’re getting themselves into,” MacBeth Watson, Strava’s vice president of design, said at an event in Los Angeles on Wednesday. “Planning and making decisions about where to go is an important part of the process.”Trail Routes is the latest Strava feature designed just for paying members, joining perks like advanced performance metrics and a personal heatmap.
As a subscriber, when you click on the Maps icon in the bottom of the Strava app, you can select for the activity you want to do, whether that’s hiking, mountain biking, or trail running. Then, when you zoom in on a trail network, you’ll be able to see individual routes with activity-specific information including distance, level of difficulty, elevation, and more. Then, you select a route, which generates a map for you to follow.
