Data: Personal GPS data exported from our Strava accounts (GPX files).
Tool: I built a custom rendering engine using Leaflet.js with some logic to find to matching GPS traces in all activities from two different Strava accounts.
As I like maps, I wanted to see where we have been together (running, cycling, etc). I already had a webpage to visualize Strava data, so I extended it with this ‘Together mode’ functionality.
The lines are rendered with low opacity, so areas where we ride often (commutes, favorite loops) naturally “burn in” and become brighter/hotter, creating a heatmap effect without using standard blob-style heatmaps.
I got the final high-res render printed and framed it as gift to us on Valentines day. Hope she will like it!

The visualization plots 531 individual activities (Cycling, Running, Hiking) totaling 8,204km.

Did you walk this whole distance?
