Before you start: MoveMap shows GPS routes available in Apple Health. A workout summary without a GPS route cannot appear on the map. Free shows the most recent 12 months; Pro unlocks the full available history. Check Strava route sync and Garmin route limits.

What the heatmap shows

A route map draws individual workout paths. A personal heatmap emphasizes places covered repeatedly. MoveMap renders a heatmap from the GPS routes available in Apple Health. You can filter by activity type to focus on running rather than rides or walks.

The map is not a complete record of every run by default. Indoor runs have no outdoor GPS path, and some recording apps write only workout summaries to Health.

Make your running heatmap

  1. Open Apple Health or Fitness and confirm a sample outdoor run has an attached map.
  2. Install MoveMap and allow read access to Workouts and Workout Routes.
  3. Switch to the heatmap view and filter to running.
  4. Explore the most recent 12 months for free. Use Pro for full available history and custom Timeline ranges.

Load time depends on library size and device. MoveMap does not record new workouts; keep using a recorder that saves routes to Health.

What if some runs are missing?

Strava can send route information for activities recorded in Strava when Send to Health is enabled. Strava says routes from other companies' activities, including Garmin, do not transfer through that connection. Garmin Connect writes workout summaries to Health but not GPS tracks. Older history may need an original file export and a route-capable Health importer. Test one activity before importing a large archive.

See the Strava export guide for the current Strava Health settings and archive steps.

How it differs from Strava's heatmap

Strava Personal Heatmap uses activities available in your Strava account. MoveMap uses GPS routes available in Apple Health. The maps may differ because the source libraries and filters differ. Strava lists its US individual subscription at $79.99 per year as of September 2026; check current Strava pricing for your region. MoveMap offers a recent 12-month map free and Pro for full available history.

Before sharing the map

A heatmap can reveal repeated visits near home or work. Crop or zoom out before posting a screenshot. MoveMap processes complete routes on your iPhone without a MoveMap route-storage server, but maps, street coverage, and purchases use network services described in the Privacy Policy.
