For the English version, I'm kind of waiting for an English-speaking expedition. Both expeditions so far were french-speaking. That said, I may translate the whole thing anyway during long winter nights. That may help getting English speaking expeditions.
Besides that bilingual thing, the improvements I would like to implement over the winter are:
1) automatic real-time high-resolution distance calculation. With this, the the accumulated distance during the trip would be displayed in real-time on the map. I have something working but it's not accurate enough, yet.
2) an elevation tracker along the itinerary as this the attached animated gif, and this demo that you can try yourself
https://dev.peterscheerer.de/playground ... e_gpx.html3) add on the itinerary map pictures taken by the expedition members or automatically selected from Flickr along their path as they progress.
4) Add automatic frequent update of visible satellite base map from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite. This can help seeing in near real-time water levels along the shore and around islands, white water and ice coverage. That one was very useful for the Akor expedition since the George river was mostly covered by ice during the first part of their trip. For example, satellite picture was aken 6 days ago for an area just west of Montreal:

5) real-time water levels from similar to this web site:

PS: I've just added a measuring ruler and compass as a tool on the Akor itinerary map. See the the other gif. Works well on desktop.
