Strava developed a online map of the world showing activity tracker of people's paths that wear the Strava devices.

It was released in November 2017.

The map shows activity of billions of activities around the world. Unfortunately it also showed activity at sensitive locations like areas 51, the pentagon, and arms services bases overseas. This was pointed out by Nathan Ruser on Twitter (Twitter Reference)

File this one under 'Unintended Consequences of New Tech'
