Fatmap was great, but i suspect it was a bit niche and difficult to monetise. Well done to the boys who sold it to Strava and hope they are enjoying the $$, but having watched a bit of the webcast when they took over, there didn’t seem to be a huge amount of synergy. in that call Mr Fatmap didn’t seem to have the chops to present the case (might have just been a self-effacing brit in a techbro world), and i really wasn’t sure how either partner was going to get something good out of it.
It would be great to have free access to IGN and Spain and have used it a few times on FatMap, but how do you make that pay in the real world as a business. As Oliverracing says – “trying to find an alternative for a reasonable cost” – and no-one else able to do it for free….or for any money as far as i can see
