This is impressively full-featured for a new app. I tried it out for some route-planning and tracking a hike and kept finding the features I was looking for. Can you share anything about your development approach?
I tested it out for route planning and it seems very nice. I’ll be following along!
Feedback:
- Bug report: on my phone, the “measure distance” tool sets the marker far away from the crosshairs, about halfway to the top of the screen. This makes it impossible to set the first point accurately.
- bug report: in an area near me, the base map contains two separate overlapping (slightly differing) sets of contour lines.
- feature request: when planning a route, it would be big to be able to drag the route anchors and add/remove anchors, rather than just removing the latest anchor.
I’ve been working on a homemade CPU (in simulator) and I’m in the middle of implementing an ISA and assembler as a bug step up from working in machine code to working in assembly. I’ve been looking at Forth as a good option for a next-level-up language which is relatively easy to implement and easy to script with.
> You probably don’t remember from a post almost two years ago, but I already implemented generation of temperature, wind and precipitation patterns, and inferred the local climate from those. That was still in C# on a spherical world though, so I dutifully started porting it all to Rust on a flat world.
I absolutely loved FrozenFractal’s Around the World hackathon pixel art game. It has really good gameplay and I find it pretty satisfying and absorbing for such a simple game.
I’ve been enjoying the blog posts about development of the larger Around the World; but it seems like the absolute opposite of a hackathon project. And that’s okay. But based on the pace of development it seems like there’s still plenty of time to wait for something playable.

Thanks for this app!
