Enable a Strava Heatmap overlay and log into Strava with the extension. 2. Draw a rough line along the trail, or select an existing one. It can start and end on other roads or paths: those junctions stay in place. 3. Press Shift + S, or right-click the line and choose Slide. To slide only part of a way, select two or more of its points instead. 4. Review the result before saving. One Undo restores the original line. Junctions, tagged nodes (gates, fords…) and the line's ends stay in place, and parts without a usable heatmap trail are left as drawn.
