From 3 comments
I saw this when the Palisade Crest was the farthest point. Now there is a line almost straight down. It's been almost 15 minutes since an update, I hope that wasn't a tragic…

qrohlf on HNAppreciate the response. One thing I've struggled with in threejs is what coordinate system to use when pulling in data sources. Obviously UTM and lat/lon are inappropriate when…

qrohlf on HNWow that's really neat. The pinch zoom spins it vs. zoom. Would be curious underlying tech for the topography. Will look into it more. I'm looking for a way to find high rises of…
