This is really cool, just tried it with a recent hike ( https://cubetrek.com/view/362602 ). Strava has a really basic 3d visualization but it's from a fixed angle which isn't very useful. Being able to move around and the replay mode are really neat. I was confused a little about the flame effect on the route before I realized it was matching my mouse on the other charts.
I second the request to be able to visualize routes without timing, it'd be awesome to take some route I have planned out in caltopo and view it here.
Also it seems like not quite what you're aiming for but I already have a few places I can (and sometimes do) upload these for the sharing/community/diary aspect (strava and peakery) and it would be cool to have some sort of integration where I could visualize activities from there without having to download/upload the GPX. Maybe I really need some kind of GPX multiplexer to upload stuff from my GPS to all the different places it could go :).
Your hike looks cool, thanks for sharing!
Getting the data from Strava is something I really don't wanna touch with a ten foot pole. Talking to other devs, using their API is the stuff of nightmares because they keep changing their ToS very frequently and recently they have become extremely restrictive on what you can do with "their" (actually the user's) activity data.
I never heard of Peakery, need to look into that.
What you can do, however, is to directly link your Garmin, Coros and Polar account to automatically upload data.
That makes sense about strava, they don't seem the friendliest to work with. Good to know about linking garmin, etc. accounts though, I missed that and it would definitely do what I want.
