I made a tool to visualize ultra routes in 3D (helps with “dead zones”)

I’ve been playing around with GPX visualizations and built a small tool that turns routes into 3D animations.

What I found interesting:
For long rides (500km+), there are always sections where:

• nothing happens
• no footage exists
• but the distance still matters

This makes it possible to “fill the gaps” and still tell the full story.

Example from a longer route:

It’s still early and a bit rough, but I’d love feedback from people actually doing ultra rides.

I currently only support Europe.

Would this be useful for:

• sharing rides?
• planning?
• storytelling?
