I often use Strava when commuting, and I start & end recording a few minutes before I set off - so I don't forget before I pack my phone and get my gloves on etc. I have privacy zones setup around my home and workplace. What would be real innovation... Not obscuring the area I'm trying to crop with a message about privacy zones, that it must have shown to me a thousand times before.

None of them were from recent times. ;)

@@gplama you got my Buninyong though. That's worth a few in the local #@$& swinging contest ;)

Mt Buninyong. Not my

😂

It's a handy bit of insurance to be able to trim anywhere you are as soon as it's uploaded.

No, that is impossible. Nobody ever had any issues with it, but they just can't offer it anymore.

I'm not sure they'd get into moto/vehicle tracking.

This only crops start/finish. It doesn't do any chopping (as I'm aware).

@@gplama Oh. I’ll just record them seprately.

See the link in the description about exporting the original from Strava. Or just perform a manual upload of the FIT file from the Garmin when mounted as a USB drive.

It's a new feature in the mobile app... as per the video title. I agree with what you're saying... but Strava can't win. We give them a hard time for not implementing things... and when they do, people give them a hard time.

I agree, it's a nice feature. Good to see something being developed by Strava, however small.

Good feature. One thing Strava could be more clear about is people stealing KOMs on Ebikes, and littering legit segments with fake times. Some users don't even know how to change the settings and on a couple of occasions I've come across people who claimed they had no idea they did anything wrong

@@gplama Strava has some great requests for features - see their support forums - by interested and engaged paying customers, which go back several years in some cases. Yet these requests are ignored. Kudos to Strava for doing this particular minor tweak, however it's kinda fiddling while Rome burns...

From what I've been told, it's the way they've chosen to deal with gaps in the data that makes this hard. They'll join two distant data points with a straight line if there's nothing between them. It's for people who forget to switch their head unit on after a mid-ride stop. It's also a reason Zwift needs to split files when you jump locations to start pens. All things that need to be looked at and adjusted, imo.

Shane Miller - GPLama There are instances when “cropping in the middle of a ride” is needed (i.e. ferry). A situation that happened for me was during a century ride. I had a mechanical. Once repaired, I opted to hop in a SAG wagon to catch back up to the peloton (maybe 5 - 7 miles). In the process, approx. 2 KOMs were “stolen.” Because of this, my entire ride gets flagged. If there was an option to not include data (speed, distance, etc.) during these instances but, still keeping the integrity of the actual ride without having to create (2) separate ride files, that would helpful. Basically, ignore this specific data from points A - B (KOM, mph avg. etc) but still use the GPS data for map line continuity 🤔💡

@@mega2373man Fair enough. I wasn't against the idea, it's just restricted by the current system for a few reasons.

I often see anomalous data points when I am hiking - less so on my bike. Caused I think when phone loses GPS signal momentarily so switches to best-guess mode (usually phone mast triangulation) which can be wildly inaccurate and leads to huge jumps. This looks crap on the map and I would like to edit it before sharing with my hiking buddies. The only option I have found is to export as a GPX file, edit that, delete the original route and re-upload.

@@mega2373man , you could have maually paused the ride on your head unit for that section then re started when you commenced riding again that would have saved any grief and stopped being flagged.

Not possible. Those are separate activities. One for Strava Support.

Do you not use the privacy zone function?

Robbie yes i do but it has been shown in the past (last I checked was about a year ago) it's easy enough to put multiple Strava rides on-top of each other and then work out the diameter and halve it to find the centre and therefore my location. Thankyou for checking though, definitely better than nothing!

@@nedt interesting, I wasn't aware of that

Not within Strava..... but if you want to merge file: www.fitfiletools.com/

One for Zwift Support. Segment timing is not as as accurate as expected. Strava segments will never be the same due to how the segments are created.

@@gplama Thank You.

I genetically apologize :)

From the activity stats? GPS is reliant on accurate time... so removing the start time won't do much, and it'll reduce the usefulness of other features. It'll also be really easy to cross reference it based on other users (FlyBy times, etc).

The start time isn't visible to non-followers, even when your activity is public. (although it's still possible to find the start time by looking at the flyby's, but that's a separate option you can disable)

There's already an ebike ride classification that disables all cycling segments. But... people have to correctly classify their activities.

how to export original n more just like u say , idk can u teach me how

You're best off asking Strava Support.

Even some basic parsing that says "Mate, you've just logged a 'ride' that went over 80km/h in a zone where the average speed is 25km/h... did you want to trim this before we publish it?". They have the data to do this.

@@gplama absolutely! Same as you, few KOMs on busy roads. Clearly no one is averaging 90km/h on the Great Ocean Road or 55km/h up a climb. Great mystery to why they're not auto flagging

By accident. Forgetfulness.

@@gplama ok

Clearly an issue with GPS accuracy ;)

Yep. And Strava is LIFE! ;)

It'd be better for Strava to address that issue than to remove the crop functionality.

Shane Miller - GPLama your right...but they have to solve the problem

Ebike users with a flat battery? *shrug* :)

It's mostly by mistake. People upload when they get home/wherever then forget to crop it later on. This makes the process easier to fix.

Shane Miller - GPLama not you talking about people who do it purposely and have no interest in cropping it. But that cropping is wicked cool 😎

You'll need to get in line with the people who are on my case for how I pronounce battery, route, IOS, and whatever else they dislike. KOM, COM, potato, tomato. Back on track, this is a new Strava feature in their mobile app.

@@gplama Ha! Only "com" bothers me - but seriously - keep up the good work!
