[Talk-us-massachusetts] Strava Slide, Check it out

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

Have you tried the new Strava imagery in JOSM or ID, It's fantastic and so
much better than the old imagery. A great way to refine trails and to find
new ones. I read about it in weekly osm
<http://www.weeklyosm.eu/archives/9621>


   - Strava has updated its heatmap and written an *article*
   <https://medium.com/strava-engineering/the-global-heatmap-now-6x-hotter-23fc01d301de>
about
   the update. Evaluating three trillion latitude/longitude points (10
   terabytes of raw data), the heatmap can also be used in iD and JOSM
   <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Strava>.


The Global Heatmap, Now 6x Hotter

I tried the Strava Slide Tool in ID today and was
​really ​
impressed.
​ Using the tool, a
 coarse input line is iteratively refined to optimize its alignment with
the GPS heat data.

All the information about the tool is at
https://labs.strava.com/slide/​

I
​'ve found that most of the trails I've mapped with my gps are better
represented in the Strava data representing many more data points.​
