Strava has introduced new features to enhance route planning and discovery for runners, hikers, and cyclists. The update includes a more intuitive search function that allows users to find routes by name or points of interest using natural language. An expanded route inventory offers a broader selection of curated paths, while redesigned route cards provide better visual assessments through user photos and activity data.
Offline maps now display saved routes directly on the home screen, enabling navigation without signal. Workouts started in offline mode will upload automatically once service is restored. Subscribers will soon receive turn-by-turn audio directions for walks, hikes, and runs.
The platform is also adding community-generated tags and descriptions to highlight points of interest along routes, and bringing route discovery to the web for browser-based exploration.
