"Strava is the go-to app for runners and cyclists to track their exercise. It has a lot of social features that allow users to race against the times of other users in a sort of social competition, and find popular places to exercise. It's the Instagram for exercise if you feel like boasting about your workouts to the world. You can track your workouts with your phone."
"Strava allows Garmin fitness tracking watches to record workout data on its app via its own platform, Garmin Connect. It's been a fairly good partnership for both companies for several years, but Strava is now taking Garmin to court in the US, alleging Garmin has infringed on two of Strava's patents: segments and heat maps. Segments and heat maps I'm already lost."
Strava provides GPS tracking and social features for runners and cyclists, including time-based segments and global heat maps that show popular routes. Segments let users compare times for specific route sections, while heat maps aggregate route popularity worldwide. Garmin devices have long uploaded workout data to Strava via Garmin Connect under a partnership. Strava now alleges Garmin copied those features, violating two patents and a decade-old agreement that barred reverse engineering certain app features. The lawsuit strains the companies' relationship and concerns many users who value segment rankings and community-driven route discovery.
