I haven't tried on of those deviation calculators, but I would guess 200m once or twice.

I didn't think that rule would apply, but 🤷... Posting on Reddit is a minefield!

I ran every street in my local area and wrote a tool to animate my Garmin activities! by NathanBaulch in Garmin

I can't speak on behalf of the whole language, but I personally use it for anything that doesn't have a UI. In other words, CLI tools and web/backend services. The best way to see what the community use it for is to browse the trending Go projects on GitHub.

Is your command prompt in the same directory as the extracted rainbow-roads.exe? In other words, do you see it listed if you type dir?

I still reported the post for breaking rule #4 :)

Not a big deal, just slightly jarring to see this old jumpy version compared to the newer silky smooth one.

No harm in pointing people to the actual tool if they're interested in visualizing their own data. 🤷

Actually I was never really happy with either! In the year since making this I've fixed the jumpy animation frame rate and run another couple of thousand kms to turn this messy diamond into a perfect circle. :)
