TrailShed
Rapid terrain and building visibility, from anywhere
Trailshed gives hikers, commuters, and roof climbers an instant idea of what their views look like from any location. Freely drag your marker around to get an instant viewshed of a location, or have it follow your own upload GPX trail file to see the prime views on your next hike. Optionally toggle buildings to see how they impact your view, and even draw new buildings to see if new developments change your view of certain landmarks! Available on our website and the App Store.
When I was in college, I had the (questionable) hobby of climbing the roofs of buildings on campus. My favorite part was getting to the top and seeing the view of the whole city in front of me. The sense of wonder I got when I experienced a view that was off limits and hard to get to was incredibly special.
While I haven't snuck onto any roofs in a while, I always like to imagine what the view would be like from anywhere I haven't been, whether it's a house I'm about to move in to, a random street corner, or the top of a mountain after a multi day long backpacking trip.
This is why I made Trailshed. Trailshed allows you to quickly and easily see what your viewshed would be like at any location on Earth. My friends and I have used it to see if parts of lake Tahoe would be visible from certain ski slopes, see if buildings would obstruct our view, and find quiet romantic spots with great views of the skyline. Hope you can also use it find a place with a great view!
