After 3 Weekend Hikes, I Built My Own 3D Hiking Explorer | React, TypeScript & MapTiler

After three weekend hikes, I kept wondering: How much did I actually climb? What does the entire route look like in 3D? Could I replay the hike from start to finish? While there are plenty of hiking apps, I couldn't find one that combined route planning, elevation analysis, and immersive 3D visualisation into a simple experience. So I built Trailblazer. In this video, I showcase how the application works, the technologies behind it, and some of the interesting challenges involved in building an interactive mapping application for the web. 🚀 Features • Search for locations or drop waypoints anywhere • Build multi-stop hiking routes • Interactive elevation profile • Realistic 3D terrain visualisation • Terrain & satellite map styles • Animated fly-through of your route 🛠 Built With • React • TypeScript • Vite • MapTiler SDK • MapTiler Geocoding Control 📖 Read the full story on Medium: https://medium.com/@patelmuh2003/afte... 💻 Source Code: If you enjoyed the project, consider giving it a ⭐ on GitHub #React #TypeScript #MapTiler #GIS #WebDevelopment #JavaScript #OpenSource #Frontend #Programming #Hiking #Maps
