It would be nice if the colours were available within the full map functionality rather than just the high-level map on the feed. The colours seem to form a more natural part of the map than the efforts of Polar and Garmin. The STRAVA implementation is nice and the gradations of colour work well and are pleasing to the eye without being too visually intrusive.

Please feel free to add in the comments below any other platform that has this kind of feature. This only seems to give me the option to add PACE. I thought the following image was showing my L4 ascent of Box Hill but IвЂ™m pretty sure I can do it a little bit faster than 11:51 minutes and probably harder than L4вЂ¦oh well, thatвЂ™s roughly the idea (I think). Anyway, I think what it is doing here is that it auto-identifies matches/efforts and then вЂStatMapsвЂ™ the colour of the effort onto the ride map. IвЂ™m also not entirely sure what it shows but, rest assured, Golden Cheetah is very will definitely show something clever. IвЂ™ve been aware of the Golden Cheetah StatMap for a long time but confess to never really looking at it until today. I prefer GarminвЂ™s and I also think that the colours of Polar get washed out by the maps, the same being true of Garmin at times, but to a lesser extent. ItвЂ™s horses-for-courses as to whether or not you prefer this method to GarminвЂ™s. IвЂ™ve chosen to display HR here and you can see that the line colour on the graph has been changed to match the zone colour on the chart. HereвЂ™s an example of the StatMap on the web version of Polar Flow. So on this following example, I was running at a consistent pace for about 90 minutes but in this particular section there was some variability and hence Garmin started adding some colours. Garmin doesnвЂ™t seem to vary the colouration by Zone, instead, it seems to be relative to the average for the run/ride. HereвЂ™s an example of a Garmin вЂStatMapвЂ™ which were only added in September and IвЂ™ve chosen to display this one by PACE, with HR and elevation also being available as the other options. HereвЂ™s a few examples from STRAVA then we continue to have a look at how Garmin and others have done this. Temperature #TemperatureMapВ вЂ“В Red is hotter.Time #TimeMapВ вЂ“В Darker colours appear later in the activity.Power #PowerMapВ вЂ“В Darker colours are higher power outputs.Elevation (Gradient) #GradientMapВ вЂ“В Red is climbing, Green is descending.Elevation (Absolute) #ElevationMapВ вЂ“В Darker colours are higher elevation/altitudes.Heart Rate #HeartrateMapВ вЂ“В Darker colours are higher heart rates.Speed #SpeedMapВ вЂ“В Darker colours are faster speeds.Pace #PaceMapВ вЂ“В Darker colours are faster paces.These are the hashtags and you put the hashtag in the activity description. Now, these are not coloured automatically and you have to manually choose which StatMap to apply to which workout and then you add a specific Hashtag which changes the colouration scheme that you see AND which any other STRAVA will also see. Clear? In my words, I would say that STRAVA willД¬olour your GPS track differently depending on how fast you were going at the time.ДЄctually itвЂ™s cleverer than that as you can colour the line based on different criteria which are speed/pace, heart rate, elevation, time temperature, gradient and power. Good question! STRAVA call these вЂњdata-driven polyline colourationsвЂќ and they replace the existing monochromatic (orange) lines on your post-workout tracks that show where you have been on your adventures. STRAVAвЂ™s StatMaps are available now to subscribers, they are not novel but they are new to STRAVA and I like them. FTC: Affiliate Disclosure: All links pay commission STRAVA StatMaps
