GPX replay map that shows terrain shadows during activities
Nextzen has freely available DEM tile data to zoom level 15, so about 5 meters/pixel. You need a free API key [1]
Mapbox has paid DEM data to zoom level 20, but I think it's just zoom level 15 scaled up (but the data is cleaner and more recent) [2]
Nextzen also open-sourced their elevation tile generator, but I haven't tried to generate my own tiles [3]

Do you have programming skills? MapboxGL JS is a great library for stuff like this, you can really easily add a layer of GeoJSON data to a map. If you're looking for something less technical Google map lets you create custom maps where you can add a bunch of pins.

Experimenting with Mapbox GL JS's upcoming globe projection
From the latest commits (not released/stable yet): git clone https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js.git yarn install yarn run build-prod-min yarn run build-css Then use the generated mapbox-gl.js and mapbox-gl.css files. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.

Reimagining projections for the interactive maps era
> too bad it doesn't come with some code
Mapbox changed the license of their code last year I think to a proprietary one. https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/blob/main/LICENSE.txt
It requires a mapbox user license with billing enabled to use this code, let alone make modifications. But the source is viewable on github.

MapLibre GL is a free and open-source fork of mapbox-gl-JS
The software stopped being open source from v2 onwards. The new licence makes it merely shared source.
This GitHub issue where this change is announced provides a number of more in-depth explanations why this is a bad thing for most users of the software: https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/10162
