Hi all, nice discussion. I agree but would broaden the

my approach.
These days, not so simple to get access to the good heatmap direct in
editors, since they restricted the higher zoom levels to when you're logged

Hi Adam
That was my take on why the 'heat' is no longer there.
The fires of 2019-20 burnt that area fairly badly. The scrub in places
is now very tough going, but would have been easier in say mid-to-late 2020.

Sounds like the general consensus is:
- Strava heatmap is good for aligning *existing* tracks
- Strava shouldn't be used for the creation of new tracks without some
ground truthing.

My understanding of the Strava heatmap is that it only shows the last
year's worth of tracking.
The changeset in question was from July 2021, which was around 18 months
after the fires that swept through the area. The scrub would probably
have been negotiable then, but less so in recent
I use Strava heatmaps only as a "referential" source, i.e. seeing
potentially missing or badly misaligned paths and then taking a walk
that way. In addition to other comments about using them directly, I'd
also wonder whether Strava copyright allows it but have not explicitly
analysed.

Having a look at the Strava heat map, I can't see any activity at all.

My view is also that Strava heatmaps are insufficient on their own to prove
a track. They do show that a reasonable number of people have passed along
a particular route in recent times. They don't prove a path or track, and
they give no indication of permissions.
However I did look for details

I can see a bunch of tracks in Kanangra-Boyd NP that have been mapped

They almost certainly don't exist on the ground. They are
I am not familiar with the use of heatmaps for mapping but, if it involves
adding non-officlal trails, then I consider it potentially dangerous and not
suitable for OSM.
I have a strong view that mappers and publishers of maps have a public safety
responsibility. There should be nothing
