Editorial interest 87/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Spanish configurator for ordering physical 3D terrain maquetas from hiking routes, GPX files, or selected map areas.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The configurator converts GPX coordinates and elevation data into a terrain mesh, with a preview before ordering. Models are offered in 10, 15, and 20 cm sizes, with terrain-only, multicolor, or route-marked treatments; the page lists a 1.40× vertical exaggeration and a walnut base surcharge. The site says routes may carry distance, elevation gain, and altitude information, and attributes its mapping data to OpenStreetMap and official topographic sources.
