Strava
Strava is the global platform for athletes to record and share activities. Although Strava is primarily aimed at runners and cyclists, it contains a wealth of recorded tracks from terrain around the world. Export Strava activities as GPX to MilMap for route analysis, operational reconstruction, or expedition preparation.

How does the integration work?
Open the activity in Strava
Log in to strava.com (web browser) and open the activity.
Export as GPX
Click the gear icon (or three dots) → "Export GPX". Note: exporting is only available via the web browser, not the app.
Import into MilMap
"Import" → select the GPX file. Note: Strava tracks often contain many points — use "Optimise waypoints".
Analyse
Review the elevation profile and terrain analysis. Add operational information for reporting.
