Show HN: Topographic 3D Track Visualizer
cubetrek.com
As a hiker and (ski)mountaineer I've always been a bit disappointed of how most apps fail to properly depict the topography while analyzing GPS tracks. (I know that Strava offers some kind of 3D view by now, but I still wanted to build my own thing)
That's why I started working on https://cubetrek.com
It's still very experimental, but you can give it test-drive now. Any feedback appreciated.
It essentially renders your GPS Track as a 3D model within the topography. As an example, here's the Bishorn, a 4000 m peak in Switzerland: https://cubetrek.com/view/5807
The front end is based on Babylon.js, D3.js, the back end is Spring Boot and Postgresql with PostGIS. There's a summary on how it works at the very bottom of the homepage.
