That's cool!

#52Very nice! Obligatory and shameless self promotion everytime the topic of 3D maps comes up: I recently created a web app to visualize GPS tracking files in a 3D terrain. You can upload your GPX or FIT files and it generates the 3D Terrain using Babylon.js It's called https://cubetrek.com
Very cool! But when trying stuff like this I'm always reminded how flat things look at scale, hah. Like my bike ride to work the other day: https://cubetrek.com/view/8197 200m of elevation from kilometer 25 to kilometer 31, but hard to grasp how steep some of those hills are, haha. But for hiking mountainsides, or where I specifically bike up steep hills it looks really great https://cubetrek.com/view/8203
I completely agree. To let you in on a little secret: the hills/mountains are already exaggarated by a factor of 1.5 to make them stand out more. So reality is even more flat.
The tracks are definitely more impressive on mountaineous terrains (see some of the examples on the homepage), for flat terrain a traditional 2D map is more helpful.

#53Might be cool, won't know, because of that full page "we are tracking you, do you consent, or do you want to go through a click adventure that'll probably take half an hour before we pretend that analytics and tracking cookies are essential site functionality and we refuse to give you the option to turn those off" notice.
If you can't write your site code to do the right thing when DNT is turned on and without needing sessions to serve restful data, your site isn't done, and your code has bugs that need fixing.

Or just don’t use it?
These sorts of comments always ignore the bidirectional relationship between websites and web users. They don’t owe you anything, you’re just another customer with a choice to make.

like,mind=blown. i was on a trek last month and was following a trail from a gpx file. there was no other guide with us so i had to constantly keep the phone on, try to be on the dotted line and more often i would divert to one side and had going up, we diverted a lot, had to face trouble being rimrocked more than once. one, i felt like a need for voice navigation on OSM for hiking, just a simple "you have diverted f…
Thanks for checking it out.
No, it's not open source yet. I don't yet know where to go with this and if there's enough interest to continue development. I'm currently working on having accounts, so users can upload their tracks to their own profile. Also, integration with Garmin Connect is almost finished (so Garmin tracks will be automatically synced to your profile). Sign up to the newsletter if you want to keep in touch (or write me an email).
Regarding 3.: It only works for GPX files with timing data (i.e. from a n actual activity) in order to show speed etc. But this is the most requested feature so far, so I'll work on it...

Yes, that's implicit to the complaint: "too much tracking and profiling being requested: won't use." And then you post a comment letting others know, in the hopes that they do better on their own websites because they see people voice the fact that they'll bounce on unreasonable tracking modals.
They don't owe me anything, I don't owe them anything, and when someone with whom we have no debt relationship one way or the other goes "give me your personal data or I won't show you anything, not even a preview to justify handing over your data" should be called out as making an unreasonable request before, as you suggest, moving on.
