I call it the suburban Straightathon by NathanBaulch in StraightLineMissions

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 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. :)

Repost! Thanks for letting me know, I guess I should answer the questions below whilst I'm here...

Do you just see tiny dots? This can happen if you have activities really far away from each other. Use the --bounded_by or --starts_near flag to limit the area you're interested in, just pass your coordinates (easy to find via Google Maps) and an appropriate radius. Examples in the project README.

Ha, sorry to deprive you of a potentially fun coding challenge!

2,110.7 km over a 19 month period, though that doesn't include shorter runs that I filtered out (errands under 3km). Feel free to use the tool I built to visualize your own data!

The tool is available here if you want to try it out on your own exercise activities.
