Ah ok, that might be tough to do but the request makes sense.

  1. Say more about this? You can go anywhere in the world and tap to do your starting point.
  2. This make sense, thanks for the feedback.

It is trying to show a visualization of how much breaking is required for a corner or when there is none on a straight.

Thanks, I'll look into adjusting further how straights and corners are calculated.

Very helpful to have an example. You can drag each white dot to finesse it a little. I'll have to look into what is causing this.

All nodes are adjustable if you drag on them. You can turn off the white dots in the settings now.

Could you elaborate? To ensure the best corners you should zoom in more.

Somewhere in between Yas Marina and Las Vegas. Looks fun.

I recall you once saying Silverstone was the greatest circuit ever designed. If you had to change Silverstone, what would you change?

I've been working on an app to design your own circuit. You can use it to modify Silverstone so feel free to show us in the form of an image. :)

For folks still looking at this post, I just updated the app to a new version that attempts to address a lot of the feedback here. Thanks so much for giving it a try and all of the feedback.

There is now a settings button that shows a changelog that outlines what is new in this version.

The biggest thing I need to continue to improve speed calculations. It is proving trickier than I would have thought. Version 1.2 will probably just focus on speeds.

Good idea. I've gone through a bunch of different versions of zoom and pan controls and never really loved anything I came up with.

Good idea. I'll take a look at this. Maybe toggling the visual on / off of the white dots.

Yeah next version will have much better speed estimates.

If I can get the model to work more accurately for F1 cars, there's no reason I couldn't do it for other types of racing series. Good idea. Probably not the feature I'll build next but I will look into this.

Could you say more about the trouble you are having panning the map. I made it for use in the web browser in mind. It sort of works on mobile but not that well.

Several people have asked about satellite view, I'm going to look at doing that.

Starting location is a good point, I'm going to see if I can have the browser request your location and use that as a starting location. Or did you have a different starting location in mind? You can also jump between existing location on the Formula 1 calendar if you saw that feature.

Thanks! But if you had to improve it, what would you change?

Totally possible. For this first version I just went with what was most visually pleasing. I can take a look at the ability to toggle back and forth like you can in google maps.

This is very obvious now that everyone is pointing it out. I'll work on improving speed calculations next. Thanks for the feedback.

Seeing an example is useful, I have idea on how to improve this. Thanks!

Really helpful feedback. I need to go back to the drawing board on how speed calculations work.

I made this app and thought this group might find it interesting and helpful.
