I built a tool that lets you click anywhere on a map to see visible mountains in 3D

The idea is dead simple: click anywhere on the map, and it scans your line of sight and renders all the mountains visible from that exact point in 3D.
I initially built it because I always wanted to know things like:
Can I actually see the mountain range from this street / house?
Which stretch of a road trip has the best unobstructed mountain view?
What am I actually looking at on the horizon during a hike?
Attached a quick screen recording of the current demo. What do you guys think of the concept? Any specific features or use cases you'd want to see in something like this?
