Show HN: UpToWhere – Visualize What You Can See from Any Point on Earth

The idea came to me after spotting the sea peeking through mountains on a drive near Barcelona. It left me wondering what else was visible from different locations.

Some of the features I later added include 3D maps, sun path calculation, adjustable elevation (calculate from a drone/plane POV), and mountain detection.

To celebrate the launch, the first 100 HN users can get 1 month of free premium access with the code: UTWfirst100.

I’d love your feedback, questions, and suggestions. What would you use this for? What features would you like to see?

Super cool! The interface is a little slow and navigation on the 3d map could be improved, but still I like it. For example, I think the view should be anchored to the pin and when I drag the map it should behave as if I'm turning my head around or up/down. Don't make me use different controls for different movement directions because it's hard to navigate that way.
