Sounds like the general consensus is:
- Strava heatmap is good for aligning *existing* tracks
- Strava shouldn't be used for the creation of new tracks without some
ground truthing.

Do people have a view on the armchair mapping of tracks from Strava
heatmaps?
I can see a bunch of tracks in Kanangra-Boyd NP that have been mapped by
an overseas mapper off Strava heatmap.
They almost certainly don't exist on the ground. They are known
bushwalking routes (off track), but would be very unlikely to have a
track even in good times, let along after the fires and 3 years of La Nina!
