Strava *Deleted* FATMAP | Join the Fight to Save It!

Strava is deleting FATMAP on Oct 1 2024 - Please sign & share this petition!!! https://www.change.org/savefatmap

Despite announcing that some features would be integrated, Strava has yet to address the concerns of tens of thousands of users. With the October 1st, 2024 deadline fast approaching, we are worried about losing critical functionalities, including slope layers, winter satellite imagery, snow depth, and avalanche slope color grading—features essential for safe navigation in mountainous winter terrain.

I'm sure most of the community here has heard about this and many of us are saddened to lose our beloved mapping software. I just started a petition regarding this matter, so please take a look at what I've gotten together if you too care about this change. You can find a link to the petition near the beginning of this post.

I will also be uploading a YouTube video to my channel Subalpinism shortly regarding this devastating news and inadequate communication. This video will go even more in depth about this topic and hopefully draw some more attention to this issue.

Please feel free to share this petition! Hopefully we can gain some traction and be heard by whatever idiots over at Strava have been overseeing this transition.

I have also voiced my concerns to [email protected] and on the Strava community hub and I encourage others to as well! Unfortunately as a huge, faceless tech company Strava intentionally makes it quite hard to provide any feedback or reach any actual human.

This is the only spot I have seen this issue addressed directly, and may I say completely inadequately. Perhaps we can flood this thread? https://communityhub.strava.com/t5/ca...

Even if nothing actually happens, Strava should definitely take some serious heat from the community for buying, scrapping and trashing our beloved mapping resource. These kinds of take-overs by faceless tech corporations should meet resistance!

Thanks,

Sid
