I’m done sugarcoating it: Strava is absolute garbage. They bought Fatmap, which was hands down the best mapping solution for trail runners, ski mountaineers, hikers – basically anyone who actually goes outside and does real adventures. Fatmap had incredible 3D maps with detailed topography, advanced route planning, and safety features that made exploring complex terrain not just fun, but safe. It was revolutionary.

And what did Strava do? They butchered it. They promised to bring all that amazing functionality to Strava, but instead, we got the same generic, watered-down Mapbox 3D that’s barely useful for anything beyond basic navigation. No advanced terrain analysis, no elevation details, no intelligent route planning. Just a shiny gimmick that’s about as useful as a paper map in a hurricane.

Let’s be real: their so-called “3D maps” are a joke compared to what Fatmap offered. It’s like comparing a crayon drawing to a masterpiece. Strava’s 3D maps are basic, and almost completely useless for anyone doing serious outdoor activities like ski mountaineering, alpine hiking, or technical trail running.

It’s clear as day that Strava bought Fatmap because they were terrified of the competition. Fatmap was gaining traction in the trail running and mountaineering communities, and Strava couldn’t handle it. So they bought it out and buried it. They didn’t buy it to innovate; they bought it to kill it.

Strava is more interested in selling overpriced subscriptions and virtual trophies than actually improving their product. If they cared about their users, they would’ve integrated Fatmap’s advanced features by now. Instead, they threw in a half-assed 3D Mapbox layer and called it a day. It’s lazy, it’s insulting, and it’s a slap in the face to every serious outdoor athlete who loved Fatmap for what it was.

They took the best tool in the industry and flushed it down the toilet. For what? To eliminate competition? To protect their bottom line? It’s disgraceful. Fatmap wasn’t just a mapping solution, it was a safety tool, a planning guide, and an inspiration engine for outdoor explorers. And Strava just killed it.

Strava bought Fatmap, promised to integrate its revolutionary mapping features, and gave us a half-assed 3D Mapbox layer that’s barely better than what they had before. They didn’t innovate, they just killed the competition. It’s greedy, it’s pathetic, and it’s a slap in the face to every serious outdoor athlete.

I’ve lost all respect for Strava. They’ve shown their true colors: they don’t care about their users, they care about domination and profit. I’m done supporting this dumpster fire of an app.

Have you ever scrolled back through your Strava history and realized… this is more than just workout tracking?

A year ago, I was in a different place—different fitness level, different mindset. And yet, Strava remembers. The runs, the routes, the struggles, the progress… even the photos. It’s like flipping through the pages of my own personal sports diary.

And now, with AI evolving, Strava is becoming even more than that. A coach. A data hub. A global community. I can’t help but think—soon, it might be our personal AI trainer, analyzing our runs, suggesting improvements, and keeping us accountable in ways we never imagined.

It’s fascinating to think about. A tool that not only tracks our past but actively shapes our future.

What do you think? Are we heading toward a future where Strava isn’t just an app but a true running companion? Let’s dive into this—how do you see the future of AI in sports?
