  • Strava has announced a new photo feature for its subscription members.
  • Via the route builder’s map, users can view location images publically uploaded by other Strava members.
  • The feature utilizes AI tools to identify the most recent and helpful images available.

This morning, the popular social app for fitness tracking, Strava, introduced a brand new feature for its paying users with an eye on adventuring. The app now offers community photos as a component of its Route Builder tool. Strava subscribers can view recently uploaded photos of popular routes and landmarks to evaluate conditions and better plan their own workouts.

Strava’s existing Route Builder tool allows users to plan their workouts in great detail. By simply selecting the sport they intend to complete, members use the app’s interactive map to identify specific roads or trails they want to cover. To get started, users can search for specific locations, addresses, or even landmarks, and add them to a route, effectively setting waypoints as they build. Strava then provides both the most popular route and the most direct. Users can even specify preferred conditions, such as hills or dirt paths. In short, it’s a very powerful planning tool.
