Es wird bei den Apps wohl kein sichtbares Kartenmaterial von anderen Usern mehr geben.
Wandrer:
Hey folks -- got some things cleared up with Strava today, and it's about what we expected. They had two requests:
* Leaderboards should be opt-in by default for new wandrers. Ok, not a big deal.
* Wandrer maps should not be visible to other users. This is what took some back and forth with Strava's legal team because the change to Strava's API terms specifically covers the visibility of "Strava data", which is also defined in their terms as data originating from a Strava API endpoint. My pushback on this is that no data that originates from Strava is visible or accessible on your map: it's all drawn from OpenStreetMap geometries, and Strava data definitely informs the boundaries of those geometries, but only after it's gone through Wandrer's algorithms and datasets, and not in a way that identifies time or frequency of travel on a road. I don't think it's fair to call Wandrer's data "Strava data", but anyways.
The only options Strava sees going forward for sharing your map is that the user has something where they could export an image of their map, or maybe generate a one-time link that someone could use to view their map. Neither of those feel like great options to me. My proposal of "let people decide if they want their map visible to others, with a check-in pop-up every few months for those who have publicly-visible maps" was not accepted.
I know many of you love sharing your map and looking at other peoples' maps (I do, for sure), so I'm going to provide an option for you to be able to keep doing that going forward: getting your data in to Wandrer through some place other than Strava. If you don't care about other folks being able to see your map, you can just stay where you are.
I'll have a longer blog post with more details as we get those worked out, but I can tell you a few things right now:
* I'm still devoted to working on Wandrer and getting new features and updates out to you (there's new map data available as of last night)
* There will be alternative methods of getting data in to Wandrer if you want. If you have any services that you'd especially like Wandrer to work with, let me know.
* Nothing will change with your data visibility until mid December.
