I am not sure if I'm experiencing what you describe. I just see a radiating circle of black lines, no matter where I click. I decided to click a local, notable "long line" viewpoint -- Lick Observatory outside San Jose. From here, on a clear day, you can see Half Dome in Yosemite, 120mi away. I still just see a black circle.
replyAre you standing on a raised platform when you see the Half Dome?
replyThis is what I get when I set the observer height to 20m, and increase the "max distance" to 300km (200km = ~124 miles so may not be enough).

It's also possible that the half dome is too short and the sampling rate of the line-of-sight jumps over it!
It seems that sometimes it fails to load the height map, try reloading the page. You should see terrain shading if it's loaded properly.
replyI think the lines indicate areas that you can't see?
replyIt's buggy. Mission peak shows much of the bay area occluded.

replyHeh, I almost hit back at the "in Rust" mention.
Would the end result have been different if it were done in python calling C libraries for performance? I strongly doubt it.
Isn't cross language function calling expensive? I assume it is significant.
