Don't have a mac to try but site examples look cool! How did you handle arctic regions, arctic DEM? I assume it's an online app so you're serving the terrain height data or does it run offline?

Cool project. Feels like google earth mixed with a lowfi steam game i love Art of Rally :)

Thanks, this is an online app and it uses protomaps[1] and mapterhorn[2] data for cities and elevation. So the app streams relevant elevation tiles based on your current location and uses those to render the terrain.
