🧭 I Built an Offline Navigation System Using a Local LLM (No Cloud, No APIs)

What happens when you lose internet in the middle of nowhere… and your navigation app stops working? That question stuck with me during a trip to a national park - where signal dropped, maps froze, and “smart” apps suddenly weren’t so smart anymore. So I built my own. 🚀 The Goal Design a navigation system that: Works completely offline Understands natural language queries Doesn’t depend on external APIs 🧩 The Stack Here’s what I used: OpenStreetMap (OSM) → map data OSRM → routing engine Local LLM → natural language understanding No cloud. No API calls. Everything runs locally.
