realtime viewshed analysis in mapbox! So many possible uses for terrain data in browser maps

Viewshed correctly showing that you can see Mt Rainier from Lake Washington in Seattle

@mouthofmorrison Now do RF path loss. Non line of sight. And channel model

That is really cool!

Damn, this is very cool. Where can I find this?

just a little vibe coded prototype for now. the hard part is the underlying data -- once you have that there's a lot you can build quickly on top of it

Sick. Built something like this for an elk hunting e scouting app so you can see what vantage you would actually have in terrain for glassing spot.

Add a sun-position slider and this would be excellent for planning sunrise photos. Find out whether another ridge blocks the shot before getting up at 4am.

I wanted to do something similar but for places wher the landscape changes a lot depending on the tides like in the channel islands

visualizing terrain like this makes standard 3d maps feel flat

Make the circle bigger!!!

What you’re not realizing here is the commercial retail application. They care a lot about view corridors.
