Thanks! Yeah, that's exactly my target audience for now. Next up: Travel Vloggers (maybe) and tour organizers.


Fantastic feedback, thanks! Yeah, I am still figuring things out and your response gives me some perspective of how the videos might be used as well.

Regarding rendering time: 20s at 4k60 takes around 6 minutes. There is, highly likely, a way to make this more performant but it's not on the priority list at this moment.

As user pmdfgy mentioned, outdoor events is exactly the market I am focusing right now: Marathons, bike or trails races. Most of them have a simple map of their race, if at all, and when it comes to more extreme races like running or cycling in the mountains I'd like to see a preview of what I am getting into as a participant.

One of my first users, the Vietnam Mountain Trail Series, uses it to visualize their races like the Vietnam Mountain Marathon. They've put it on their YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5GMPNfEDbU


Not at this moment. The whole thing is build on top of Mapbox though. Give them a try!


Ah! Good eye! Thanks for pointing that out.


Thanks! Can you elaborate on weird vertical lines? Do they look like small spikes?


Yes, going from the ground to the sky. Maybe because it was on a volcanic island ? There were some in the Ocean as well.


Ugh, yeah, that's a bug with Mapbox itself. I need to update to their latest version but it comes with some downgrades for me. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It happens rarely but it happens -- and I need to fix it. Will focus on this soon.


Hey, I'm Tobi. After burning out some time ago, I took a long motorbike trip to recover. I recorded my trip with a GPS tracker but didn't know what to do with the data. So, I created a tool to visualize the route.


Feedback I’d have like more examples to watch at the top of tha page and less “create your video” buttons. All the buttons feel desperate.


Great feedback, much appreciated!
