No Dems?  How about 3D with track elevation only?
« on: November 27, 2004, 09:03:01 PM »
Having to download, convert and manage DEMs can be a pain, so here's an attempt to do 3D without DEMs -- only with the elevation data available in the tracklogs themselves:



And here is what it looks like using the DEM:



This is the backside of Mt. Lemmon and it works fairly well since I have trails down the some of the ridges and in the CDO valley.  It won't predict peaks or valleys that it doesn't have data on, but it can be kind of cool if you've got a fair amount of data in an area.

It'll be in the next beta (hopefully soon) just as a different interpolation method in 3d options.

Not sure how useful this feature is, but it is cool that you 1) thought of this idea, and 2) made it work! I'm reading a 9 on my gee-whiz-ometer.
