Since you have the data could you show how far you can see in every direction rather than the longest direction?

- bartread 9mo agoThis would be incredible - please add this!
- tombh 9mo agoYes, but, there's one small problem, storing this extra data for the whole world starts to run into the petabytes!
- em-bee 9mo agowhat if you put a limit on it? like only a dozen views per point, and only views that are at least 100km. or only do this for peaks or points of interest. or some combination like more views for higher peaks, less for lower ones.
- tombh 9mo agoOhh yes, nice ideas.
- em-bee 9mo agoi don't know if that makes sense but it could be interesting to split the views of any point into multiple segments, and then for each segment find the largest distance. next between two of these largest views find the shortest view. if the ends of each view are connected by lines the result would be a zigzag circle around the starting point that gives you a rough idea of the visible area. most points would be on a slope so they would just have a half circle, only peaks themselves would have an all around view.
