Hi all,

In 2014 Strava developed a custom version if the ID editor which included
their heatmap. The tool could adjust OSM ways to better align them with
their GPS heatmap.

Some years ago that tool stopped working and use of the heatmap for
improving OSM was drawn in to doubt. That doubt has now come to an end as
Strava have been able to reconfirm that we are ok to use it in to improve
OSM:

This is a good supplement to the OSM GPS traces and can be used to help map
public rights of way and improve road alignment.

Happy mapping,
*Rob*
