For several years, the social network for athletes Strava has been providing access to everyone to the map, which displays the routes of people with fitness trackers. This map is called the Global Heat Map. Using the location data of users of fitness trackers (this is mainly GPS coordinates), the service shows the routes of the owners of these devices. Currently, access to this card for Russian users is also blocked.
