Did it based on NASA’s SRTM Digital Elevation 30m and cool libraries like three.js to plot it. You can try any location at [uptowhere.com](https://www.uptowhere.com/)
Would love to recieve feedback on it to be able to improve it 🙂
EDIT: Server’s getting a little hot by all the traffic! Working on it – if you hit any issues, please try again soon.
Great! This helps planning any trip for hiking for instance.
well the only down is the long calculation time…
I’ll have to check on my desktop. My mobile browser seems to restart the calculation every time I go back to the browser. I hope Reddit doesn’t hit the site too hard haha. I can’t wait to try this.
how is this different to google earth?
“0% complete”
for minutes, now…
Well that’s really cool! I always wandered whether my house would technically be visible from different mountain view points in the area. I was thinking of bringing binoculars or something, but now I can know in advance! 🙂
Well, it was stuck at 0% and I left the tab open. After some time I come back and see it did compile something.
