   I think it's a very interesting bit of Swiss history. All the work of Dufour (the General of the Swiss Confederation Forces in the Sonderbundskrieg) and his team in measuring, mapping and producing one of the highest quality topographi

   I agree, I misworded the statement, the sun does indeed shine from northwest for a couple of hours in the summer months in Switzerland as well. The point in the linked article is that the grandseigneurs of Swiss topography didn't like

   Damn, that's why I need diligent beta testers ;) Seems to be some problem in redirecting to the "success page", your email should be verified in any case. I need to look into that. Edit: seems to be some issue with my Nginx s

   Thanks for trying it out! I like the idea about the dynamic center of rotation, I have not thought about this. Let me know if you have any other suggestions: contact@cubetrek.com

   I'm facing the issue on how to aesthetically visualize my hiking and skiing GPS tracks in mountainous terrain (similar to the OP, I live in Switzerland, so it's either up or down). I've decided to go directly the 3D route usi

   I agree, the paper and the examples therein are worth a quick look: https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.01256 They mention using DEM data only, no roads, villages etc.

   In Swiss-Style Relief shading, the light comes from North West, which is impossible in the northern hemisphere. This makes sunny south facing slopes shaded and shaded north facing slopes light. Legend says that this was an intentional desig

   Tangentially related: does any one know any nice libraries/tools to generate images (PNGs or whatever, doesn't need to be terminal compatible, colors even preferred) from hashes?

    Damn!! That solves a riddle that has been bugging me the last two weeks or so! I'm in the same boat as OP (not a blog, but a web app, https://cubetrek.com ). I've received the same type of account registrations (gibberi

    I'm not affiliated, but a reasonably satisfied customer of https://maptiler.com for my project https://cubetrek.com . Perhaps also worth to take a look.

    There's a very slim chance of hitting the front page on HN (believe me, look at my post history, I tried a couple of times), do you prepare for such an unlikely event... I mean if course you should, because otherwise why post on HN, bu

    It flopped on Show HN, but got some minor traction in a comment: https://CubeTrek.com visualize your GPS Tracks in 3D. You upload your skiing, hiking, running GPS files and the web app creates 3D topographic models, calculates y

    Late reply, but here goes: currently there are two states only, private (only the user can see it) and public (everyone can see it). There are no social features (yet?), so no friends or similar

    Sure, interested to talk. Conceptually, I'm shying away from both route planning and training management, there are dozens of better apps out there. I see CubeTrek more of a diary for your adventures and a progress tracker for outdoor

    Yes! But only Garmin so far (working on Polar now). You need to set up an account and than link your Garmin account in the profile. Here's the catch: Garmin only allows syncing of future activities. I can't access your past activi

    Yes, give it a try! The steeper the terrain, the nicer the model looks (in my opinion). Here's another one: https://cubetrek.com/view/5813

    I find that a bit hard to believe for the more established device makers (e.g. Garmin, Polar, Suunto). Their device is a watch, if I want to look at analytics, I will need to move the data off to the cloud, I don't want to look at grap

    Nice, where do you get the data from? I'm using OpenStreetMap (OSM features annotated as 'Peak'), and check with PostGIS for peaks that are close to the GPS track. Generating a list of all summits is a nice idea!
