Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker behind **x-route**. As a cyclist and runner, I've always been frustrated by modern route planners: 1. Paywalls everywhere: basic route building is locked behind expensive yearly subscriptions. 2. Clunky elevation data: phantom 25% gradient spikes caused by bridges or 30m DEM grid noise. 3. Privacy & Lock-in: forcing an account just to plan a weekend ride, storing every track on private cloud servers. So I decided to build **x-route** — combining the fluid, modern UX of Strava with the industrial-grade routing engine of BRouter, completely client-side: ✨ **What makes x-route different?** - 🔒 **100% Local-First & Private**: Powered by IndexedDB. Your routes, names, and tracks never leave your browser. Zero tracking, zero login. - ⚡ **BRouter-Grade Elevation Precision**: Gaussian low-pass filter, physical slope clamping, and 11-level gradient categorization. No more fake walls on highway bridges. - 🧰 **Advanced Editing**: Lasso box-select to batch-delete waypoints, one-click track reversal, Douglas-Peucker simplification, and mid-point route splitting. - 🗺️ **8 Versatile Basemaps**: From high-contrast OpenFreeMap and CyclOSM to OpenTopoMap contours and Esri Satellite with 2D/3D tilt. - 📁 **GPX In & Out**: Web Worker-powered background parsing for multi-megabyte files without freezing the UI. - 🆓 **Free & Open Source**: Licensed under MIT, built with React 19, MapLibre GL v6, and Vite.
