After six weeks of cycling, he had answered one of the big questions motivating his trip\u2014whether he could physically handle a supersized trek. And he was having the experience of a lifetime. Career decisions could wait until he returned. For now, he was slowing down, bucking routine, and embracing adventure.\r\n\r\n\u201cI thought it would be cool to see [the country] each day morphing as I traveled through,\u201d Ball says of his nearly 2,000-mile bike tour from the Canadian border to the Mexican line.\r\n\r\nAnd even though he couldn\u2019t remember exactly how many hills he\u2019d conquered since Tuesday or where he\u2019d eaten dinner on Friday, he had something that did\u2014a modern-day, location-based travelogue that was capturing his trip and giving loved ones a glimpse of his life on the road.\r\n<h3><strong>Relive App Helps Preserve the Journey<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nEach morning as Ball set off on another rolling spin class, he opened the Relive app on his phone and began tracking the day\u2019s 40- to 60-mile trek.\r\n\r\nAt least, that was the idea. \u201cIt's not uncommon to just start the day rolling and then get three to five miles down the road and [realize] \u2018Oh, whoops, I've got to find a place to pull over because I've got to turn this tracker on,\u2019\u201d Ball says.\r\n\r\nThe app captured key aspects of his two-month odyssey and made them accessible to family and friends. \u201cI wanted to keep people in the loop and wanted to share my experience,\u201d he says. He just didn\u2019t want to spend hours updating a blog or writing emails.\r\n\r\nThrough the Relive app, Ball shared a 3D animation of each day\u2019s journey, complete with photos he had taken along the way. If he took a picture while he cycled through a tunnel of redwood trees, it showed up in the right location on the map. If he wanted to relive the agony of climbing the hills outside Leggett and Crescent City, California, he could replay the 3D video and marvel at the unforgiving slopes.\r\n\r\nBall liked the way the app told the story of his journey\u2014simply, visually, and geographically."},{"acf_fc_layout":"storymap","title":"","description":"","storymap_url":"https:\/\/video.relive.cc\/41405727001_relive-tracker_1626142171312.mp4?x-ref=site"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"&nbsp;\r\n<h3><strong>Borrowing from the GIS Platform<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nBall isn\u2019t alone.

But six years ago, when Relive was just an idea, none of its cofounders knew which technology could bring the app to life. Yousef El-Dardiry, one of the three cofounders and the primary architect of Relive, had never heard of GIS software. A chance encounter with an expert in the technology changed that.\r\n\r\nEl-Dardiry soon learned that he could integrate select services from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-platform\/overview\">GIS platform<\/a> into the Relive app. That included satellite imagery of the earth\u2019s terrain, elevation maps, SDKs for building functionality, and APIs for integration.\r\n\r\nAs El-Dardiry explains now, \u201cWe are a very engineering-heavy company . . . We're not interested necessarily in having a one-size-fits-all solution, because we're building something new. So [we\u2019re looking for] a mix or match fit.\u201d\r\n\r\nBy incorporating GIS-based location services and 3D maps into the app, Relive helped users capture realistic animations of their adventures.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe map is the best way to really visualize your outdoor story,\u201d El-Dardiry told <em>WhereNext<\/em>. \u201cTo turn it into a visual, compelling story, the map forms the centerpiece.\u201d\r\n<h3><strong>An Ambitious Climb Yields Unexpected Inspiration <\/strong><\/h3>\r\nMany tech companies\u2014including Apple and HP\u2014trace their roots to their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanexpress.com\/en-us\/business\/trends-and-insights\/articles\/6-incredible-companies-that-started-in-a-garage\/\">founders\u2019 garage<\/a>s. Relive was born on a volcano.\r\n\r\nIn late 2015, El-Dardiry and seven friends\u2014all in their 30s, all former engineering classmates at Holland\u2019s Delft University of Technology\u2014decided to do something many observers would consider foolhardy. Having taken up road cycling earlier that year in their home country\u2014one of the flattest on earth\u2014the group of eight decided to cycle up a 3,715-meter, 12,188-foot mountain in the Canary Islands.\r\n\r\nThey tried their best to prepare.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe did a weekend somewhere in the south of the Netherlands where it's kind of hilly, but the biggest hill there is like 200 meters,\u201d El-Dardiry explains.\r\n\r\nTheir next stop was off the coast of Morocco: Mount Teide, a dormant volcano on Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands. In December, the eight friends rented a house on the island and spent four days cycling its roads, getting acclimated for the big climb. Their bikes were adorned with gadgets\u2014cycling computers and mobile phones that tracked their distance, pace, heart rate, and practically anything else that could be measured.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe were kind of geeking out on all the numbers and all the stats,\u201d El-Dardiry says. \u201cThat, for us, was super cool.\u201d\r\n\r\nThen came the crescendo\u2014the trip up Mount Teide.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe were all maybe a little bit nervous and eating way too much pasta the night before,\u201d El-Dardiry remembers.\r\n\r\nOn the morning of the ascent, they dipped their bike tires in the ocean, gathered on the road, and began the climb. El-Dardiry remembers the camaraderie of the ride and the skirmishes that broke out as friends tried to overtake each other on the hill. \u201cSome kilometers later, all energy is out and you still have to go to the top,\u201d he recalls ruefully."},{"acf_fc_layout":"form","form_type":"aside","form_position":"Right","form_title":"THE ESRI BRIEF","form_desc":"A biweekly email connecting business leaders and innovators with thought-provoking articles on location intelligence and emerging tech trends.","form_button_label":"Sign up now","form_content":"https:\/\/go.pardot.com\/l\/82202\/2017-10-12\/jw1bmb","form_tag":"low-commitment-form\/sign-up-form"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"For new road bikers from a flat country, they were holding their own. But the climb seemed unending, and it took its toll. When they finally reached the top, some members of the group were nearly in tears from the effort. It had taken many hours and all their reserves, but they had reached their goal. As they enjoyed Mount Teide\u2019s long descent, night fell over Tenerife. El-Dardiry calls it \u201cone of the most epic days of our lives,\u201d an experience rich with pride, pain, and memories.\r\n\r\n\u201cThen, when you look down at your device or your app, you see something like 100 kilometers and 3,000 meters elevation gain. All these stories . . . were all compressed into numbers,\u201d he says. \u201cWe realized, \u2018Hey, something is missing.\u2019\u201d\r\n\r\nThey wanted to remember the roadside restaurant where they enjoyed a beer, and the barbeque dinner they devoured at the end of the long day. They wanted to remember the feeling of standing triumphantly on the summit. But none of those sights lived in a number, or even a two-dimensional map of their route.\r\n\r\nFor the Tenerife eight\u2014and millions of people around the world\u2014the goal wasn\u2019t to collect more data. It was to make the data more human.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe really enjoyed being active and enjoying the healthy lifestyle, but also just having a good time with friends,\u201d El-Dardiry says today. \u201cSo we wanted to build something that would capture more of that experience and allow us to share [it] with other people.\u201d\r\n\r\nEngineers being engineers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fvPg4S8EOn4?co3=true\">El-Dardiry, Lex Daniels, and Joris van Kruijssen<\/a> decided to build the solution they envisioned. Before they left the Canaries in December 2015, the idea of Relive had been born.\r\n<h3><strong>A Platform for Every Journey <\/strong><\/h3>\r\nAs Emmett Ball wheeled down the US Pacific Coast in summer 2021, the Relive app captured his travels. Each evening\u2014often by a campfire in a state park\u2014he opened the app, labeled the day\u2019s ride, and within five minutes had shared the video with family and friends.\r\n\r\nHis parents enjoyed the animations of his route, and nudged him to take more pictures. His grandmother \u2018liked\u2019 his posts and comments.\r\n\r\n\u201cIt's cool to use it as a family update device,\u201d Ball says. \u201cIt lets people stay in touch with you\u2014almost paradoxically\u2014from a distance.\u201d\r\n\r\nWhat family members saw in his Relive pictures and 3D maps was a tapestry of terrain. Although the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventurecycling.org\/routes-and-maps\/adventure-cycling-route-network\/pacific-coast\/\">Pacific Coast bicycle route<\/a> sounds like an oceanside idyll, it is in fact a remarkably varied experience. Riders pass through intertidal zones and old growth forests, agricultural oases and deserts, and major cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.\r\n\r\nBall saw variety in the people he met, too\u2014everyone from young wanderers like himself to older couples riding tandem bikes. There was camaraderie in their encounters, and transience, too.\r\n\r\n\u201cSome people you'll meet, and you'll see them every day for a week, and then somehow you just get a little off track between each other, and then you never see them again. It's funny that way.\u201d\r\n\r\nBall counts many highlights from his journey, but his passage through California\u2019s Bay Area made a special impression. Those two days were a cocktail of wonder, reflection, and exploration, and the Relive app played a role in celebrating it.\r\n\r\nAs he biked south through Berkeley toward Oakland, Ball used the app to orient himself and ensure he made it through the urban center to the ferry. Later, he watched a 3D animation of his trip around the bay. Clicking on pictures he had taken, he could see the weather change on a short ferry ride\u2014from the clear skies near Oakland\u2019s Alameda Island to the clouds roiling the sky over the Golden Gate Bridge. He thought about the topography of the place, and how it made San Francisco a choice spot for a thriving city.\r\n\r\n\u201cThat day I remember feeling like the app\u2014and specifically tracking myself geospatially\u2014really helped me digest what I was actually looking at and digest what the city was, almost. Having the tool really helped me feel oriented,\u201d Ball says.\r\n\r\nThe Relive app preserved many nuances of his time on the road: The people who shared water or stories along the way. The white-knuckle ride over the five-mile Astoria-Megler Bridge into Oregon. Pedaling silently beneath 300-foot trees.\r\n\r\n\u201cI think the record will kind of stand on the app,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd it will be cool to see how my perspective changes on it as I revisit the journey, as the years go by.\u201d"},{"acf_fc_layout":"quote","image":461462,"text":"I looked at the app as . . . an opportunity to share.
