Does anybody know of something to edit a recorded GPX for the purposes of moving a section of the track closer to the path I was on?

I did a ride last night and had a good go on an off road climb, but Strava has not matched the segment because it was not close enough. Now I am not talking about taking a KOM or top 10, more to see against my personal best.

Have tried some online editors but they rewrite the timings. I know I could ask Strava could look at it themselves, but it is just for my own amusement.

Thanks

Used to be a good tool for this called Raceshape SNAP (strava needs a polish) but the website is offline and sadly no longer seems to be in development

I've used http://www.gpstrackeditor.com/ in the past to correct errors in recordings (deleting rogue points etc)

You can probably drag the points to nearer the segment on this?

Personally id say just leave it and try it again another day.

If you are on PC you can try the "Dont see the segment you are looking for" button and try to force strava to give you a time on it. Its at the bottom right.

Thanks, this did look very promising and appeared to do what I wanted.. but Strava then awarded me the KOM when I reuploaded so I quickly deleted it and will leave it alone. I think I can work out a rough time even if Strava does not.

I thought Strava would just look at your time stamps at the entry and exit points of a segment, but apparently not as my track had a few crazy speeds recorded on a couple of points which threw the whole thing. I can see why GPS errors can give people KOMs
