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

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.

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

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

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.
