About ZwiftGPS
About ZwiftGPSDeveloped by Andy Lee and powered by Zwift Insider, ZwiftGPS maps your current position in game, as well as the position of your friends. Clicking a Zwifter shows you the current speed, ride time, wattage, and more.
ZwiftGPS also works with your Zwift ride history and Strava account to pace yourself based on past activities!
It is optimized for use on a second monitor or a mobile device.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m only seeing myself, but none of the people I follow.
First, make sure people you follow are currently riding! If they are, check and make sure your account isn’t set as a private account, which seems to disable being able to see friends’ locations on course.
Will this show the correct map if I use the world tag hack to ride in an off-schedule world?
Not at this time, since the Zwift API does not tell us which world you are in.
What do the different colored rider dots mean?
The colors are used to display rider w/kg ranges (0-1 W/Kg = grey, 1-2 W/Kg = blue, 2-3 W/Kg = green, 3-4 W/Kg = yellow, 4-5 W/Kg = orange, 5-6 W/Kg = red)
Are there privacy issues we should be concerned about here?
We don’t think so. The app only uses the data made public by Zwift’s API. Zwift has a “private account” option which presumably locks much of this data down, although we have not tested this.
Updates
- 5/15/17: connecting to Strava now works on iPhone/iPad
- 4/24/17: Strava live segments added, plus a world chooser. Details >
- 3/11/17: Better zooming, and there’s also a button (bottom-right) to make the map follow you once you’re zoomed in.Rider fill color is now based on Watts/kg:
0-1 W/Kg = grey
1-2 W/Kg = blue
2-3 W/Kg = green
3-4 W/Kg = yellow
4-5 W/Kg = orange
5-6 W/Kg = red
After 6 W/Kg, it starts flashing between white and red, and the flashing gets faster as it goes ever higher.You can click/tap on a rider to see more stats (distance / speed / power/ heartrate etc).In Chrome on Android, you can double-tap to switch to full screen (hides the browser bar and other chrome). In Android you can also “Add to Home Screen” to get a more app-like experience. - 3/7/17: changes to polling optimizations to solve problems with rider positions not updating consistently. Additional changes include rider name styling to improve readability, addition of Feedback links.
I attempted to use ZwiftGPS on the Tour of London this morning and could not get it to show myself at all. I did select the event in the interface. I’ve not had this issue with PACK group rides. Ideas?
Im having a problem with zwiftGPS – it will no longer load my previous rides, or display any strava segment times. One day it just stopped working, maybe about a month ago. It asks me to log into strava almost every time, and to enter my zwift ID almost every time, which it never used to do, and then it just gets stuck on the loading activities screen (As per screenshot) I have tried the following: – Opting out, and then opting back in to zwift GPS in my Zwift account settings – Revoking access to zwiftGPS in strava, and… Read more »
Hi, I have Zwift GPS working and I find it great, but when looking at the stats of a rider speed and distance, it show in miles and mile per hour. Is there by any chance, a way to display km and km/h?
I follow all the steps correctly and it says rides from Strava are loading but nothing ever is loaded… anyone else having this issue (it did work about 3 months ago for me so I know I’m doing the steps right) ….
Would it be possible to show strava live segmet KOM instead of your own PR?
ZwiftGPS used to work very well, but lately it fails 30-40% of the times I ride. There’s nobody on the map. Sometimes it works on the warmup and fails when I’m joining an event. Sometimes it fail but suddenly starts working when I’m almost done with the ride. I have no connection issues (Zwift works fine). Hoping this issue will be resolved.
I see nobody, not even myself. Once or twice when I opened the app I did see myself and one or two friends but usually nada. I am in the right world and viewing while actively riding. I am fairly new to zwift so it very well could be something that I am doing, or more likely not doing.
Happening to me. It was working a week or so ago but has just stopped. I’ve tried restarting, reconnecting, training rides, regular routes, and nothing seems to pick me up anymore. Any thoughts on how to fix this? thanks.
