The problem.

Every hiking app assumes service. I wanted one that assumed the opposite and behaved perfectly without it.

II · Build

What I shipped.

What

An offline-first trail map with routing, elevation, and SOS.

How

Flutter for cross-platform, MapLibre tiles baked offline, OSMAnd routing.

Why

Reliable in a dead zone is non-negotiable. Drift Map has zero service-dependence.
