Utility for setting Strava cookies in JOSM preferences. This allows to get high-resolution Strava Heatmaps as an overlay in JOSM. Permission has been granted by Strava, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Strava and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Permissions/Strava

This tool relies on Python 3, which comes pre-installed on most *x systems. For macOS, a convenient way to install Python 3 is homebrew; see, e.g., https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/osx/

For Safari users on macOS, no further packages are needed. For Chrome or Firefox users, please install the package browser_cookie3 (from command line, run $ pip3 install browser_cookie3): https://github.com/borisbabic/browser_cookie3

This tool supports macOS and Linux. Support for Chrome/Firefox on Windows has been added but not yet tested--test reports are welcome!

1. Browse to the Strava Heatmap and setup a Strava account.
2. Log in with your Strava credentials, flagging the remember me checkbox. Move the map and zoom in and out to be sure that the required cookies are present.
3. In JOSM preferences, activate the Strava imagery URLs that you need.
4. Change each default imagery URL string from e.g.:

tms[3,11]:https://heatmap-external-{switch:a,b,c}.strava.com/tiles/run/hot/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png

to:

tms[3,15]:https://heatmap-external-{switch:a,b,c}.strava.com/tiles-auth/run/hot/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png

5. Close JOSM.
6. If using Safari on macOS: grant Terminal with full disk access (macOS System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access > Add the Terminal application).
7. From the command line, run $ python3 josm_strava_prefs_upd.py
8. The imagery URL should be updated to:

tms[3,15]:https://heatmap-external-{switch:a,b,c}.strava.com/tiles-auth/run/hot/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png?Key-Pair-Id=<YOUR_KEY_PAIR_ID_COOKIE_VALUE>&Policy=<YOUR_POLICY_COOKIE_VALUE>&Signature=<YOUR_SIGNATURE_COOKIE_VALUE>

It is also possible to prepare Strava Heatmap TMS URLs for Cartograph. Cartograph runs under iOS and macOS, as well as Android.

Run $ python3 carto_strava_omapdef.py to write out Strava URLs in an online map definition file. An online map definition file is a JSON file that can be imported directly in Cartograph.

A choice will be offered to save the omapdef file either in the current directory or in iCloud. The latter option is only relevant for macOS users, and the file will be saved in the <HOME>/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Cartograph Pro folder, for an easy import into Cartograph from mobile devices.

After importing the map definition file in Cartograph, the following maps will be available in the Manage Maps menu:

• Strava Heatmap (all)
• Strava Heatmap (ride)
• Strava Heatmap (run)
• Strava Heatmap (winter)

Before importing a new map definition file to update the Strava URLs, remove any previous Strava Heatmap.
