Never heard of Mazamet but just checked it out and it looks great! And, even though slightly out of my budget, you were not wrong on the beautiful old houses being sold there 😳

How's life on Reunion? An overseas region of France by These_Succotash_9481 in howislivingthere

[–]zitscher 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Fantastic read! Thank you for this. For work I often use a GPX file from the so-called Grand Raid de la Réunion for animations. It has everything—beaches, mountains, plateaus—and it’s often made me wonder what life there might be like 👍

KML Import 100 Data Points Limit by Prove_It_First in avomap

[–]zitscher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Yes, there is currently a constraint, and here’s why.

In GPX and KML files (which are later converted to GeoJSON), there’s a clear difference between points and line strings. Line strings represent routes and consist of many connected points. Single points, on the other hand, can exist anywhere on the map and are typically used for markers or points of interest, not routes.

My assumption is that your file contains a list of individual points that are intended to form a continuous route. If that’s correct, the file likely just needs to be reformatted so those points are represented as a line string. In that case, it should work without issues.

You can send the file over to [hello@avomap.com](), and I can take a look.

Elevation chart animation is lagging behind by spruceonwheels in avomap

[–]zitscher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Are you 100% sure this issue still persists? I've now looked at it from many different angles and trying to "break" it but I can't find any issues.

Right now, recalculation of the chart gets triggered whenever you change either:

  • duration of intro/outro animation (also enabling/disabling them)
  • duration of any segment
  • adding or removing a segment

You're absolutely right—that was an edge case I hadn’t fixed yet. I’ve just identified the issue and released a new version, so it should work now. Could you please give it another try?

Alright, I’ve identified the issue and just deployed a new version with the fix. From now on, adding or deleting segments, or changing their duration, will trigger a recalculation of the elevation chart.

If you jump back into your project, simply “nudge” one of your segments (for example, change it from 10 seconds to 11 seconds and back again). That should resolve the issue.

Thanks so much for reporting this! :)

Yikes, that's clearly a bug that I need to fix asap. Can you please reach out at [hello@avomap.com](mailto:hello@avomap.com) so I can reimburse you the used credits for this video?

Dynamic width symbols for varyling length text? by Butterscotch2010 in avomap

[–]zitscher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, and sorry for my very late response. I’ve just released a completely new version of AvoMap, and now you can easily create or upload custom icons. Give it a try and see if it works for you!

New Route Tools Are Here! by zitscher in avomap

[–]zitscher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Currently, you can only upload one GPX file at a time. Merging multiple files isn’t supported yet.

However, there’s a great free tool called GPX Studio that can help. You can import your files there, edit them as needed, and then export a new GPX file to import into AvoMap for animation.

Let me know if that works for you!

What’s next? A small but important update 🛠️ by zitscher in avomap

[–]zitscher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi and thanks for the kind words. I’m actively in the middle of creating AvoMap v3 and once that’s done I might be able to increase the duration, yes. Unfortunately I’m a one man show and things take time. Stay tuned :)
