2. I use Strava mostly because my county is using the heat maps to see where cyclist ride.

I did not think about the use of Strava by our military being used by enemies. One thing they are telling our users to opt out of the heat map portion, but our young people are all about social media. Strava allows for sharing with friends and connecting with Facebook. The heat maps aren't real time but if someone was able to hack into the Strava network they could get real time of activities. Or nearly as fresh look at a few Facebooks.
