www.veloviewer.com just stumbled across this and was astounded by the level of strava geekines available. Beats the crap out of a premium membership. The best feature by far is the open cycle map with segment overlay, just the job for hunting out the allusive trails in the woods.

There is also a '[url= http://blog.veloviewer.com/strava-bookmarklets-map-flipper-for-open-cycle-street-map/ ]bookmarklet[/url]' which will allow you to use different maps with Veloviewer - including OS 1:25,000... but my favourite feature is the 3D ride mapping.

My activities are only picked up on that up to the start of November last year... refreshing doesn't update beyond that. Any ideas, anyone?

edit - it's ok, found it. i needed to click on my user icon and select update, it's pulled in all my more recent rides as well.

Does it carry over privacy settings/zones from your Strava account?

That Veloviewer score discards downhill segments, so only really any good for road types (apologies if that was obvious to everyone already).

OS map overlay widget is great. works on the explore segments pages as well so handy for working out where segments are on the ground.

Thanks OP for sharing. So I'm wondering why Strava are ok with sharing their data with veloviewer given that it seems to cut across what they offer with premium membership.

strava have an API, what talented programmers do with it is up to them.

i think strava employed the guy who used to run raceshape.

I can understand the technical side of it, just surprised that they allow it. It really is great though and I already feel better about my lack of riding so far this year as I can see that I'm not actually far behind what I did last year...

What jam Bo said, the heatmaps feature available to premium stravarers (or whatever the correct collective term for people who use strava is!)
started life like this. It's a shame about the downhill thing as those are the only bits I score well on!

And I thought I was doing well with 83.58 out if possible 99.67. I have only been through 164 segments ever though. I couldn't tell you where any start/finish in real life. I guess that may change now though. Give it time.

I can't get over 40, stay in the 38/39 range! Maybe in summer when I have my light weight road bike in use I might smash that particular ceiling.

The analyst in me loves it!

Apparently my VeloViewer Score is 80.64 from 33 of 130 segments

Maximum possible score: 98.04

Again, unfortunately while I have about 20KOMs, most of them are descents!
