Hello R2Tom,
thanks for pointing to the activity lists, I do not use this often and it’s another great feature of intervals.
So I made a filter to find the same distance run, I know it’s the same route, I choose “apply route” as you said but nothing happened, there were not linked to my route # ID 465423
It could be that you have to reanalyze first, to create the route of that run.
Thanks @david .
If I sort by name, the deleted ones still appear in the sorted order, if they had a name.
I now have nearly 600 routes, really many commutes to work, shopping etc. 
so a filter still would be really nice. 
Or some kind of “starring” some routes, because while the commute routes are good to tag them automatically, but there are maybe only a few interesting/favourite routes, which I would like to see on top
Is it possible to edit route? E.g. I would like to have start of the route not exactly from my house, but rather a bit late.
I wonder if that would make it a “segment” and not a route?? Then that’s starva’s area.
Ah, right. Their patents probably cover that.
You need to do Edit → Analyse and tick the “Only find routes” box:
“Apply route” updates the activities with the settings from their routes (e.g. they become commutes if the route is a commute etc.).
thank you, this was the fix
@david: thank you for this great feature. I wonder if it would be possible to detect loop routes? I mean, some of my routes are actually loops that I might complete several times in a single activity. See for example: Intervals.icu
Now your code does not identify the route as identical to other activities on the same loop route if the laps (rounds) in the related activities are not exactly the same.
The number of laps of the same route might be and often is varying across activities. As a user of intervals.icu I wish that intervals.icu recognized the route as a loop-route and associated all activities on the same loop-route as having the same route regardless the number of completed laps on that loop.
This loop detection could be also a basis for advanced analytics w.r.t. of the loop-nature of the route, too, such as auto-detecting the number of completed laps, average data of this and that per loop, etc., etc.
The route of Intervals.icu is actually the “Coastal Loop Reverse” route of TrainingPeaks Virtual, if that matters.
To handle loop routes I would need to develop segments (the loop is a segment) and I need to stay away from those (Strava patents).
If detecting loops conflicts with a Strava patent, then that patent is ridiculous and unenforceable, IMHO
@david , could you analyze ONLY the segments created in Itervals.icu? In this mode you stay away from the Strava segments. How are you doing with the routes…both Strava (brevets) and Intervals handle the routes, and you have handled them very well
all operations with segments (creation and matching) is covered by patents they own US9208175B2 - Defining and matching segments - Google Patents
it will expire only in 2031, if it won’t be prolonged
Personally, it would be enough for me if I could compare my own created sections (I won’t use the name segment). I would therefor also create this every time. For example, a mountain that I ride up once a month. Create an interval from the starting point to the end point and give it a name. And then I would like to have a list visible somewhere with all the data for this section that has been created. This is currently not possible and would not infringe the patent.
Yep, it will. Let say you can create segment (name doesn’t matter), you have to find effort on your activity which matches the segment. And that process is under the patent.
Strava has many patents for segments, this is just good example of what they have.
I understand, but only the STRAVA segments are under patents, NOT the ones I create on INTERVALS… just DO NOT use the Strava segments but ONLY the segments created on INTERVALS.
Trainingpeaks also uses segments, but only those created on TrainingPeaks, NOT those created in STRAVA.
I intend to use intervals created from 0 in Intervals, NOT STRAVA intervals that are imported into Intervals, they are 2 different things. The Intervals intervals are not under patents
Exactly, a bit like @david is doing with routes: I create my own segment in Intervals, the app saves it (I don’t know where :)) and every time I travel that route it is recognized. I will have an “intervals” page (like routes) where I will have the list of all my intervals and for each interval I will have a page similar to this, but for the interval
