Built by Relive, a Netherlands-based startup company, the Relive app lets athletes share their rides and runs via virtual 3D video tours on the Esri\u00a0<em>World Imagery<\/em>\u00a0basemap.\r\n\r\nCombining performance tracking data with digital maps from Esri, Relive makes short 3D animation videos that exhibit about a minute\u2019s worth of highlights from a runner or cyclist\u2019s trek. The animation includes the route the athlete took (traced in yellow on the basemap), metrics such as terrain elevation and the length and average speed of the ride or run, and pop-ups with photographs taken during the activity.\r\n\r\nRelive, which currently has 1.2 million users around the world, creates the 3D video stories of bike rides and runs using GPS data collected from its users\u2019 activity tracking apps, such as Strava and Garmin Connect, as well as their personal photographs.\r\n\r\n\u201cPeople love to share\u00a0<em>[the videos]<\/em>\u00a0with their family and friends,\u201d said Joris van Kruijssen, who cofounded Relive with developers Lex Daniels and Yousef El-Dardiry.\r\n\r\nThe three friends came up with the idea for the Relive app during a bike trip they took in the Canary Islands in 2016. \u201cWe were cycling in Tenerife and figured it would be amazing if there was an app to capture our cycling holiday in a movie,\u201d said El-Dardiry, now Relive\u2019s technical lead.\r\n\r\nAlthough van Kruijssen, Daniels, and El-Dardiry were using Strava to record performance metrics on their rides, the visual aspect of their adventures was missing. \u201cIt didn\u2019t fully capture the experience we had\u2014the nice views, discovering the terrain, and the fun we had,\u201d van Kruijssen said. \u201cWe saw a great opportunity.\u201d"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":56632,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"Talk soon turned into action. After fleshing out the idea during a barbecue in Tenerife, Daniels and El-Dardiry began writing code, and the app started to take shape later that same day.\r\n\r\nBack home in the Netherlands, they built what van Kruijssen called \u201ca good working prototype\u201d within two months and shared it with a few friends. \u201cAfter a week, a thousand people were using our app,\u201d he said.\r\n\r\nToday, Relive employs a team of seven people and continues to refine its mobile app, available for download from the App Store or Google Play. The app takes activity-tracking data from apps such as Strava, Garmin Connect, Endomondo, and Polar Flow and maps it on satellite imagery from the\u00a0<em>World Imagery<\/em>\u00a0basemap, which Relive obtained from Esri Netherlands. (Users who sign up for Relive accounts give Strava, Garmin Connect, Endomondo, and Polar Flow permission to share their data with the Relive app.)\r\n\r\nDuring the app\u2019s development phase, El-Dardiry searched for digital map technology to visualize the adventures. He found Esri\u2019s\u00a0<em>World Imagery<\/em>\u00a0basemap in the Living Atlas of the World to be a great fit."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":56642,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"\u201cWe wanted to give everyone the opportunity to create a beautiful video of their adventures, so it was important to find a high-quality map with global coverage,\u201d said El-Dardiry. \u201cEsri\u2019s Living Atlas of the World was the best solution. And the involvement of Esri is great. They understand the unique needs and challenges of our startup and are always thinking of how they can help us.\u201d\r\n\r\nDuring a recent trip to San Francisco, California, van Kruijssen, an avid bike rider, said he tracked his performance metrics as he cycled across the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County. Within a half hour after his trip, he had used the Relive app to create a video of the journey to send to his mother in the Netherlands.\r\n\r\n\u201cI immediately shared it with my mom to show her what great views I had,\u201d he said.\r\n\r\nRelive is already a success, with more than 200,000 new videos being made each day around the world, from countries as distant as South Korea and Brazil. The company recently launched a premium service as well called Relive Club, which lets paying members do more with their videos, such as add music.\r\n\r\nMaps, however, are a staple in the app. And because Esri\u2019s digital maps are scalable, the Relive founders feel confident that their company can continue to grow.\r\n\r\n\u201cEvery adventure starts with a map,\u201d El-Dardiry said. \u201cWe want to provide people with the opportunity to relive their adventures, whether they\u2019re cycling, hiking, running, skiing, or going on a road trip. It\u2019s great to see our idea spread globally\u2026and it\u2019s just the beginning of our adventure.\u201d\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.relive.cc\/view\/v7O9dJQ2NQv\">Watch a Relive
