Description
Windy Gap generates hiking and running routes based on what you ask for. There are potential routes all around us and it finds them. Ask for a route: distance, hills, terrain and more, and it searches the map for the best options.

Could you build this?
Partial Standard routing from point A to point B is simple via existing APIs, but generating custom circular or exploratory running/hiking routes constrained by arbitrary hills, terrain, and exact distances requires specialized graph algorithms.
What it would actually take: Requires an OpenStreetMap routing engine (such as GraphHopper, OSRM, or Valhalla) paired with elevation models (SRTM/NED) and topological graph-search algorithms. The hard part is generating optimal closed loops or terrain-constrained paths (e.g., prioritizing trails over pavement while hitting an exact elevation gain and distance) rather than shortest-path routing. This requires GIS engineering and algorithmic graph traversal customization.
