Ik heb bij Strava maar weer eens wat verbeter suggesties gedaan, kijken of het wat wordt...
Hi, The Strava route builder currently works fine as a tool to draw routes, but there are many other route builders that offer similar functionality. Strava however has the data available to make the Strava route builder by far the best tool. To achieve that the following functionality could be added.
1- altitude profile: the altitude profile is visible while building the route but if I send the route to a Garmin EDGE device than the altitude profile is missing; this should be fixed.
2- ability to enter average speed in the routebuilder to have a reference wile riding it as course on a Garmin Edge, even better would be if you could enter: avg speed on flat and VAM for climbs. (http://www.bikeroutetoaster.com has this functionality, Garmin Connect has this functionality but only based on avg speed.
3- Ability to include segments as course points in the route. It would be very nice if you could check segments in the segment explorer and the start and finish point of these checked segments would be included in the TCX files.
4 Ability to include segments and a ridden result of these segments as a virtual partner in the route. (Garmin advertises similar functionality as the key feature of the EDGE1000, but this works only with Garmin Segments.) Many other Garmin Edges have the ability to ride against a virtual partner and to reset that virtual partner during the ride. If you would create a course based on an average speed but with one segment with actual ride data you can ride against this virtual partner data on the segment even if your trip to the beginning of the segment took much longer or shorter than planned. The Race shape website has done part of the work for you, the only thing that needs to be done is to replace the track data of a segment with the data which is generated on this site: http://strava-tools.raceshape.com/vpu/ Maybe the people who made this want to help you?
I hope to find this functionality soon in your route builder, if it happens it will be a real killer!
