Hah thanks! Unfortunately hillmap is in a semi defunct state. Most of the apis that made it work are gone or really expensive and i haven't had time to make my own replacements.
Oh man! Thank you so much, It is hard to convey how much I have used hillmap. I just had to check in and make sure the site was still up.
Anytime I want to roughly get a sense of distance it is my first and only thought, from planning offtrail backpacking and ski trips, to trying to figure out how far I ran on a given day, or trying to talk my girlfriend into swimming various point to point routes.
I'd say of the pin bindings the race style are the ones I think of when I admire the design.
Thanks! It is all almost all client side and easy to keep hosted but the elevation and slope stuff has stoped working. If you or anyone on here wants to figure out a cheap alternative to the google elevation service and slope angle layers and wire them in let me know.
Yeah the original u spring design now used in race bindings is classic (I use afk trofeos now) but really it is the boot binding interface that is important and remarkably versatile/long lived.
HillMap -- I use it all the time; it just works.
:).
(Also, pintech-bindings are the best. They changed the course of my life. The TLT5/6 design is sublime as long as you're not scrambling in talus.)
