“Every adventure starts with a map,” El-Dardiry said. And because Esri’s digital maps are scalable, the Relive founders feel confident that their company can continue to grow. The company recently launched a premium service for paying members called Relive Club, which lets users do more with their videos such as add music. Relive is already a success, with more than 200,000 new videos being made each day around the world including from countries such as South Korea and Brazil. Green symbolizes cycling, blue symbolizes running, and purple symbolizes hiking. This map, created by Relive and Esri Netherlands, shows where cycling, running, and hiking videos have been made globally. He found Esri’s World Imagery basemap in the Living Atlas of the World to be a great fit with the app. (Users who sign up for Relive accounts give Polar Flow, Endomondo, Strava, and Garmin Connect permission to share their data with the Relive app.)ĭuring the app development phase, El-Dardiry searched for digital map technology to visualize the adventures. 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 World Imagery basemap, which Relive obtained from Esri Netherlands. Today, Relive employs a team of seven people and continues to refine its mobile app, available for download from Google Play or the Apple App Store. “After a week, a thousand people were using our app,” he said. 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 the same day.īack home in the Netherlands, they created what van Kruijssen called “a good working prototype” within two months and shared it with a few friends.

We saw a great opportunity,” van Kruijssen said. “It didn’t fully capture the experience we had-the nice views, discovering the terrain, and the fun we had. While van Kruijssen, Daniels, and El-Dardiry were using the Strava app to record performance metrics on their rides in Tenerife, the three friends realized something was missing: the visual aspect of their adventures.
