Description: Car navigation application for Linux A turn-by-turn car navigation app built with Qt 6, MapLibre, and OpenStreetMap data. Features include voice guidance, Overture Maps POI search, and offline route calculation via OSRM or Valhalla.

I am confused. Looking at the code, both OSRM and Valhalla are actually online routing services and require an internet connection. There is no offline route calculation in this code as far as I can tell.

    Yeah, it doesn't have downloadable maps or offline routing (at least yet). It does however cache the map tiles it downloaded, and it seems to also cache some POIs (e.g. I can see opening hours for shops around me even without the internet).
