Strava’s new Night Heatmaps look to make subscribers safer after dark

The app also unveiled Weekly Heatmaps to track an area's activity.

Strava has announced Night Heatmaps, a feature that shows which areas have more activity — or "heat" — between sunset and sunrise. While this added awareness is great for knowing where to go, some people might also purposely choose to avoid the busiest times, for fear of unwanted attention (there's no winning here). It's also worth noting that Heatmaps pull solely from public activities on Strava, so you're not getting the full story of how many people go where.
