It would be great if one could select multiple "Catchments", since "Region" seems to select a whole country, while Catchment is dividing the island I'd like to capture into three pieces, one of which is huge and the others kind of small. Made a small demonstration of the problem here: https://imgur.com/a/tyudJvW

Another thing that would be awesome is if we could download the .glb files via a link/button in the visualizer, instead of having to manually grab the download link from the developer tools :)

Nice!

I'm working on something similar but aimed at visualizing GPS tracks, e.g. for hiking and biking: https://cubetrek.com/view/6638

Let's share some notes, if you're interested! Code is open source: https://github.com/r-follador/CubeTrek/

Nice, what was the motivation?

The Amazon made my poor unplugged M1 stutter.

I love that, however, RIP in advance ;)

Which DEM are you using? MERIT-DEM? It seems to exceed SRTM's coverage, but be smaller than ASTER's coverage (except it does include the Northernmost island in Greenlan which I think falls outside 83 N). You might consider adding BEDMAP2 or REMA to cover Antarctica...

Update: Thanks for all the interest!

I've run out of monthly credit at map tiler, so I'm going to have to tinker a bit with the explorer view.

Edit: Switching to protomaps for now.

That's sweet, I'm planning to implement something like this on my project[1] as well (also a Christmas gift to myself). Right now it spits out points but regions and polygons is on my to-do list. Suggestion: make the map cover the entire browser window/remove the black borders, it gives it a more HD feel and it makes it immersive.

Taiwan renders pretty good for me: https://topography.jessekv.com/?lat=23.9339&lng=121.0158&mod...

Do you consider open-sourcing the code behind it?

I wish there was a way to select multiple catchments at once, because using "region" for Canada or the US selects the entire country and not individual states.

A favorite of mine to look at is October Revolution Island and its glaciers.

While Russia (in the "best" traditions of USSR) has recently, as a response to Ukrainian drones, outlawed detailed Russian topographic data _inside_ Russia.

I was hoping to be able to visualise a mountain peak, but watersheds doesn't work for that.

Is it maybe possible to download object files or something like that (that I can convert to stl)?

I see you use glb files. Any way to convert them into something that can work with GDAL?

Really nice P.S don't try viewing Everest :)

Lovely. Need a compass point image added.

Cool work!
