RikiTraki is a web app for viewing your GPS tracks and photos on a 3D globe. It gives you a simple personal space for your own data and a way to browse public tracks from others. The goal is to keep things clear, lightweight, and easy to navigate.

How It Works

RikiTraki is built around a search‑center–based architecture. Instead of loading everything at once, the map fetches tracks dynamically based on your chosen search center — whether that’s where you are or where you want to focus. This keeps the experience fast and scalable, even as the dataset grows.

Behind the scenes, RikiTraki automatically:

• detects regions and locations from GPS data
• aligns tracks to terrain
• organizes photos by time and position
• keeps your personal and global views separate, so your own tracks and photos live in a clean, private space that works like a lightweight logbook on top of the globe

What’s New in 2.0

RikiTraki 2.0 is a complete rebuild with a modern backend and a smoother, faster UI.

Highlights include:

• a unified Cesium‑powered 3D map — the old 2D/3D switching is gone, making navigation smoother and more intuitive
• personal /username spaces
• improved track and photo uploads
• automatic region detection
• terrain‑aligned rendering
• better performance on mobile and desktop

This is still a Beta release — features will continue to evolve.
