A shared interest
From hiking
to the map.
Assim and I share a passion for hiking and exploring Mauritius. He developed the original visualizer; I joined in to improve how people move around the map and use it.
The project connects places we explore outdoors with a different way of understanding the island’s terrain.
My part in the collaboration
Refining how it works.
My contributions focus on the experience of exploring the map, building on Assim’s original development.
- Camera & navigation
- Improving camera movement and controls for navigating the 3D terrain.
- Filters & reset
- Adding peak filters and a reset that restores the map and its settings.
- Mountain labels
- Improving interactive labels so peaks are easier to identify and select.
- GPS coordinates
- Contributing to GPS coordinate integration and location-based interaction.
- Mobile performance
- Refining rendering and interaction for mobile use.
- Hiking trail views
- Adding fullscreen views for exploring hiking trails.
- Testing & refinement
- Testing, debugging and working through details of the user experience.
