Yep, started in response to a suggestion on twitter. I'm not intending to make it a super routing tool - that's covered by these other amazing websites - but let me know if some tweak would make it more useful or if it has bugs.
@boomboom it's just the heatmap tiles from Strava, I'm not sure what their criteria are ie when the color step-changes. Maybe 50% of some arbitrary gradient, but don't know on what regional scale. I find the color1 scheme a bit intense, some of the blues are easier to work with. Most of the settings are sticky so you don't have to change them every time.
Edit: found this blog post that explains the methodology; sounds like it's counting gpx points and using neighbouring tiles for scale.

It's really good @Yemble. Just wondering how much you know about the heatmap parameters? What makes a road red etc? I presume it is in comparison to other local volume as opposed to total volume?
