About this extension
This browser extension makes it easy to use the Strava Global Heatmap in JOSM, iD, and other mapping applications that support TMS imagery.
Accessing this imagery externally requires a set of key parameters that you obtain by signing into the Strava website, copying the values from several cookies, and then assembling into a query string at the end of the url. The keys expire after a week or so at which point you must repeat the process. This extension builds the url for you which makes this weekly process a bit less annoying.

Instructions
Manually adding the imagery in JOSM
Copy the url without the tms: prefix. Add a new TMS layer in the JOSM imagery preferences. Name it Strava Heatmap and paste in the copied url. If you are updating an expired Strava Heatmap layer you can just double-click it to replace url in the list view. In this case, copy the url with the tms: prefix as it is required here.
Manually adding the imagery in iD
Copy the url without the tms: prefix. Open the Backgrounds panel and select "Custom" at the bottom. Paste the copied url into the Custom Background Settings window that opens.

Release notes for 5
Strava changed the url and UI of the heatmap the other day and this extension stopped working as a result. This update should get it working again. The currently selected sport and color parameters are now pulled from the url query string.
