Show HN: Turn GPS tracks into 3D-Printed mountains

Hi, this is Bernat, 3D printing designer...

we launched nicetrails to create unique trophies for mountaineers and outdoor sport activities.

the idea is: 1. Upload a GPS track (.gpx) 2. View the trail in 3D 3. Choose map style: satellite / snow 4. Order your trophy (3D Print in full color)

are you a hiker? biker? trail runner? I'd like your feedback, you can try to upload a .GPX file and see if all looks as expected.

*no need to register

I hope you like it.

Cheers from Barcelona!

Nice work. I'm getting a timeout on http://app.nicetrails.com/api/createXML3D_base_noUV_nobase_U... when trying to upload my own .gpx

I would love to use something like this to capture a ski day. If I could just turn on a mobile app at the beginning of the day to track my route and then export from the app that would be sharp. Maybe integration with Strava and other such apps?

This is extremely creative and cool. Nice job!

Love this. Wish my recent hikes were more ambitious (and thusly deserving of memorialization)!

This is super cool. Too bad 3D printing is still so expensive.
