Field notes

Route Recce accepts a GPX file and turns it into a replayable route inspection, combining a terrain map, a synchronized elevation profile, gradient bands, and camera modes ranging from Overview to Ground. Its contextual layer draws on OpenStreetMap for landmarks, surfaces, road classes, and hazards, while Panoramax and Mapillary supply street-level photos. The page also states that processing happens in the browser, with no account, server upload, or tracking.
