Route planning on Strava using OS Maps (or others)
Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 5:24 pm
So I just accidentally discovered that Veloviewer have some tools (MapFlipper) to replace strava's maps with OS Maps, OpenStreetMap Cycle maps or other types too.
The info is here with a guide how to do it: http://veloviewer.com/mapFlipper
So with strava route planner, road ride planning is great as it uses popularity of routes etc, not just standard google routing. You can show a heatmap of popular routes, as well as showing segments if you like that sort of thing.
I think this is a lot more useable that the terrible OSGetALife planner, or bikehike, which invariably has overshot it's API limits with OS.
