Strava Alternative? (lemmy.world)

Strava's enshitification continues. It's basically useless now without an expensive subscription. I mountain bike. All I want is to track my lap time, segment time, and compare against personal records.

I tried MapMyRide today, which pretty much just tracked my lap time. Not ideal.

Are there any decent alternatives?

Thanks in advance.

** Thanks for all the suggestions. I've got some research to do. Fingers crossed. **

Garmin is definitely what I would have recommended until a month ago when they started pulling subscription crap.

They're still better than Strava though, so if that's what you've been using so far it could be worth it. Polar also introduced subscriptions in the last month. I'm not sure about Wahoo, Hammerhead, or other fitness brands.

I have a Garmin watch. I haven't ever seen any segments or personal record tracking, but maybe I'm not looking in the right spot?

Records should be here: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/personal-records

Segments are much less used on Garmin than Strava, but they also exist, here: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/segments

Hammerhead is at least subsidized by SRAM.
