MoveMap vs Strava: route maps and social training

Strava records and shares activities. MoveMap explores GPS routes already available in Apple Health on your iPhone. They can work together, but Strava's Health export has route and history limits.

The short version

Use the tool that fits your goal

Choose Strava for recording activities, community, segments, and training tools. Choose MoveMap for a personal map of GPS routes that are available in Apple Health. Using both is possible when Strava-recorded activities send their routes to Health.

Strava says routes from activities recorded by another company's app, including Garmin or Zwift, do not sync to Apple Health through Strava. Turning on Health sync does not automatically recreate a full older archive.

Strava offers free activity recording and a paid subscription for additional features. Its US pricing page listed $79.99 per year in September 2026. Check current pricing and feature availability in your region before comparing plans.

Privacy and data handling

Strava stores account and activity data to provide its social and cross-device features. Review its activity, map visibility, and product improvement controls before sharing location data.

MoveMap processes complete workout routes on your iPhone without a MoveMap account or route-storage server. Maps, area-based street coverage, and purchase access use network services. The MoveMap Privacy Policy explains those requests.

FAQ

Does MoveMap import my entire Strava history automatically?

No. MoveMap reads Apple Health. Strava can send routes for Strava-recorded activities when Send to Health is enabled. Older activities may need an archive export and a route-capable importer.

Can I keep using Strava?

Yes. MoveMap does not record or replace Strava's social features. It can map routes that Strava has actually written to Apple Health.

Will a Garmin ride in Strava appear in MoveMap?

Not through Strava's Health route sync. Strava says GPS route information from third-party recorded activities such as Garmin does not transfer to Apple Health.
