# Bogotá route maps

A route-map study using cycling as a way to think about geography, constraints, pacing, and visual storytelling.

## Use this with an AI agent

Use this as context to turn a route, workflow, or dashboard path into a clearer visual story with labels and constraints.

Paste this file into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, or another AI agent before a design critique, implementation pass, content review, or product-planning session.

## What this is

A visual route study inspired by gravel rides around Bogota and the Sabana. It treats a ride as a small data story: start, effort, terrain, uncertainty, and the shape of a route.

## What it demonstrates

Maps are interfaces. They decide what to show, what to hide, what to label, and where the viewer should look first. That makes them a useful playground for product thinking.

## Design notes

The route uses a simple line language, a clear highlight, and restrained labels. The goal is to make the path readable before adding any deeper layer of data.

## How it connects to product work

Many product screens are really maps: dashboards, funnels, setup flows, permissions, and operational tools. They all ask users to understand where they are and what matters next.

## What to look for

### Recruiter signal

Shows personal context without fake metrics: Bogotá, cycling, geography, and information design tied back to product thinking.

### Useful output

A framework for deciding what a map-like interface should emphasize: path, current position, terrain, risk, and next action.

### Next iteration

Add a small route-data demo using GPX-like mock data, elevation labels, and responsive SVG rendering.
