I use my mobile phone’s GPS to track my bike rides which I then upload to Strava. Unlike purpose built GPS devices, phone GPS can be wildly inaccurate, especially in the steep valleys I often ride through in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The results uploaded to Strava can look like this.
Note how the red line can go tens of feet off of the actual road. It throws the elevation data out of whack, and I can miss segments and KOMs. But an online tool provides a way to fix this track for you!
To use the tool, you paste in the URL of your original Strava track. SNAP then snaps the tracks to the nearest roads. For longer rides, you’ll need to snap the line to the correct roads but it’s easy enough to figure out.
