FULL STORY ======================================================================Strava is expanding its new Heatmaps feature There are new Night and Weekly Heatmaps They're designed to help users find active trails and roads, as well as populated routes, during winter

Strava has today rolled out an expansion of its helpful Heatmaps feature, bringing two new options to improve your winter workouts.

The new Night and Weekly Heatmaps are designed to help users make better decisions about the routes they take during the winter, especially in the evening after dark, or early in the morning. The Night Heatmap will show activities recorded between sunset and sunrise, so you can find popular areas for working out where there are plenty of people around.

The Weekly Heatmap is a broader look at activity from the last seven days, which should help inform users about which trails and roads are currently active, and which might be getting less use because of inclement weather and the changing seasonal conditions.

Strava's Heatmaps are available to its premium subscribers only, and this week's additions bring the total number of Heatmaps up to four. Alongside the new Night and Weekly options, Global shows users the most popular areas all around the world, and the Personal option shows a one-of-a-kind record of all your recorded exploits, only visible to you. Only the Global Heatmap is available to all users, the rest are for subscribers.

To access the new Night or Weekly Heatmaps following the rollout, simply head to the Maps tab and select your desired Heatmap. You'll be able to filter by activity, and you can even view multiple Heatmaps at once.

Strava is definitely one of the best fitness apps out there, especially for adventurers. Its outdoor tracking and social networking features make it one of the most popular fitness communities on the planet, boasting 135 million users in more than 190 countries.
