Very nice work! Sleek interface. I'll need to field test it soon ;)
Have you by any chance also evaluated MapLibre (https://maplibre.org/ https://maplibre.org/) as an alternative to Leaflet. I'm just wondering if anyone has any insights on how they compare. I use MapLibre for one of my side-projects [1].
What are you using as source for height data (I see the curve colors represent the altitude). I've noticed that one of the most commonly used datasets [SRTM](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/srtmgl1v003/ https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/srtmgl1v003/) has some deviation compared to OSM data in high latitudes. E.g. some peak locations from OSM don't match to the contour lines from SRTM. But I have never found any further infos about this.

- jameal 4y agoI haven't tried MapLibre. I'm learning that there are lots of alternatives to Google Maps and Mapbox which I love to see. I learned of Leaflet through GPS Visualizer[1]. It's an excellent resource. They also have a tool that will augment your GPX file with elevation data[2], though I'm not sure what source they use. According to their site: > Complete copies of the SRTM3 and USGS NED databases, as well as a large number of SRTM1 and ASTER tiles, are stored on GPS Visualizer's server` One thing I learned through this project is that elevation and distance data are all over the place depending on what source you're pulling from.
