The Flyover feature by [Strava](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strava-heatmaps) is a new tool that consumers can use to replay their driving journey through a 3D video map. Using the powers of [Fatmap, a 3D mapping platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threedimensional-spatial-data), the feature showcases 3D animated videos that detail your most recent travel history.

Accessible by clicking the "flyover" button located on the bottom right of an activity, the feature provides a bird's-eye view of the route taken during the tracked activity. Users can engage with this immersive experience, gaining insights into the geographical layout and terrain encountered during their journey.

[Strava acquired Fatmap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-fitness-and-strava) back in early 2023, with the platform primarily focusing on ski resort maps. Now, the company has positioned itself as a "Google Maps for the outdoors."
