I'd like to merge this as long as we can be confident that we really are allowed to use it in all of the OpenStreetMap editors for tracing. 👋 @drewrobb - we are big fans of the Strava heatmap!.. Can you let us know if there is a license that we can link the attribution text to? (see #323, #358 for some examples of what other companies have done). |
|
There are no plans to change this permission. I'm checking to see if a more explicit license could be provided for you all, but it may take some time. |
|
Yeah, it's probably best for us to wait for a proper usage permission from @strava, especially given some ambiguous statements like openstreetmap/iD#2716 (comment) vs. https://twitter.com/paulmach/status/764125822441533441 in the past. |
|
So did someone tried to contact Strava? I doubt that they will craft special license for us. But e.g., in Debian, it is perfectly fine, if we get a statement from someone@strava.com which state the same sentence as in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Strava#Data_Permission_-_Allowed_for_tracing.21 and when we save the email together with email's headers it can stand as a license. |
|
FYI I've contacted Strava on Nov 23 to allow their heatmap on https://www.freemap.sk/. So far without any response. (We actually have it there already if expert mode is enabled but I plan to remove it.) |
|
@zdila which email you wrote to? Some general or someone personally? |
|
Hi all, Good news: we have internally approved this usage, and are just trying to get the exact license/statement sorted out. |
|
@drewrobb any news ? |
|
Strava changed the layer to a pixelated version for lower zoom levels if you are not a Strava user yourself. Does this change anything? |

It seems that max_zoom is now 12 after https://blog.strava.com/press/heatmap-updates/

hi, looks to me like the heatmap now remains visible even when the zoom level is higher that 16, which is a really nice thing, but its quality decreased a lot, it's now pretty much useless to me.
How can we try fix this issue? Both Strava Slide and JOSM seem to have the same issue.

@tyrasd don't get mad at me, please. For example, we can see https://heatmap-external-b.strava.com/tiles/both/bluered/11/750/1148.png but we can't see https://heatmap-external-c.strava.com/tiles/both/bluered/12/1505/2306.png I am sorry for this mistake. |
|
Ah, I believe zoom 12 is fine, because we're using the 256px version of the tiles: https://heatmap-external-c.strava.com/tiles/both/bluered/12/1505/2306.png?px=256 |
|
@drewrobb I'd love to get the heatmap into the osm editors, what's the mood like inside Strava? Anything we can do? |
|
@drewrobb seems to have gone AWOL. Has anyone got contacts at Strava? |
|
BTW on www.freemap.sk we have Strava layer if you are logged in on Strava.
Otherwise you will see:
