It combines offline mapping, search, wiki backed POI and routing into a service I control and can use across my own network.

It “solves” the problem of me wanting to do exactly that, using a Raspberry pi, and does so in under half a gig of ram.

It’s not a product I made for anyone else; I’m sharing it because people asked me to share it (thus the all at once remote push to github btw; I had no intention of sharing this until Lemmy asked).

That - and the fact that you may be used to radically more modern clients than my family seems willing to nurse.

I’ve got a dude with an OLPC. And another with an HTC One M8. A third with an Android 8 flip phone.

“Hey- you know computers. Make us a Google Maps.”

“Just…buy a modern phone.”

“No.”

“…”

Anyway, it was fun and I wanted to do it. So I did. I only ever write code under four circumstances

  • you’re my kid and you ask me to do something impossible
  • you pay me
  • it’s fun
  • sheer spite

That list may or may not be ordinal.
