If so how?

Admittedly I'm yet to look, but jnr insists it can't be done.
He's 10 and I'm 45, so we can fairly safely say he knows better than I do, but I just wanted to check.


(If it can be done, any answers will need to be directed to me as you are talking to your Nan...

    I don't think you'll find Strava on the Amazon Appstore so you'll need to sideload it from an apk or modify your Kindle Fire HD to install Google Play on it.

    Google "install google play on kindle fire hd"

    Once you have Google Play installed then you will be able to install any of the apps on there - including Strava.

    Having said all that - one other thing - does the Kindle Fire HD have GPS?
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    I think this leads to the key question, does the OP want to use Strava on the Kindle to simply upload/analyse rides or use the Kindle to actively record GPS activity??

    Oh it's just for jnr to look at what we are doing.

    just go to strava.com? I don't use the app just load the website on the ipad. may have to experiment with different browsers, my mother has a kindle fire, seems fine but the browser is a little basic.

    I would say no....... Only because he will start analysing your activity and slagging your KOM attempts :D

    Why do you bother looking at other peoples Strava?
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    If you're just looking at strava, can't you just visit the website on the Kindle?
