This any good?

Yep, I think I can see the issue. Let me think thru it properly when I’m back home. The way it works right now is that Docker Compose pulls the Python/nginx/BRouter images (and Kiwix if you’re using that), then bootstrap grabs the CORE WA assets as a once-off download.

The problem is that on a fresh install bootstrap doesn’t recognise pre-seeded CORE assets if you grab them manually. The ZIM is the exception (that one can be be validated and reused locally). So at the moment it assumes a once-off net connection to grab the PMTiles, search DB and routing data, and then you can basically lobotomize it from the internet afterwards. That was because I didn’t want to package the whole thing as one giant glob with a half GB d/l, as that might choke a SBC (it made my Rpi4 do exactly that).

A cynic might think this is all a data gathering exercise…and wonder why [AIP] isn’t needed for a pretty clearly vibe-coded site? 🫥

Nah, I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Well…if you’re looking for an idea for the second moto phone… can I suggest “Google in a box”

How many “Google-like” services could your phone server serve at the same time?

• Google Photos <-> PiGallery2
• Google Keep <-> Memos
• Google Drive <-> Syncthing
• Google Calendar <-> Radicale
• Google Contacts <-> Radicale
• Google Tasks <-> Radicale
• YouTube Music <-> Navidrome
• Google Password Manager <-> Vaultwarden
• Google Reader <-> FreshRSS
• Chrome bookmarks <-> linkding
• Google Analytics <-> GoatCounter

And, if it still has RAM left:

• Google Docs <-> Etherpad
• Google Search <-> 4get

How far can 1 GB actually go?

Yeah yeah, the project is cool… but can we talk about those absolutely banging tunes?

Is the moto serving them? Please say yes.

Enjoy. You’ll need to tweak it etc but GPT did a pretty good job writing up the documentation.

DON’T FEED CANDY TO THE ASD KID

(but yes, probably, now that I think about it)

God fucking dammit, now you started me thinking about this. Fuck you very much :)

• “Monday at 8am, this section normally takes 14 minutes.”
• “Sunday afternoon, it normally takes 7.”

Record GPS traces for each road, bucket the results by weekday/time, then feed those historical speeds back into routing. Tada - averaged pseudo traffic flow, barring outliers (like traffic accidents etc). That’s what you’re thinking?

Sadly, I am not Peter Steinberge.

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.

Thanks.

It’s Lemmy. Everything is apparently AI slop now.

• Post about a personal project
• People ask “can you share the source”?
• Share source
• Idiots crawl out the wood work calling it slop

Again: coded by meatbag ™; documented and poked by clanker.

Because I don’t want to :)

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).

I called it Pimaps because I host it on a Pi. Radical, I know.

What exactly is your malfunction? You’re chasing me through three communities calling a freely shared, hand-coded project - one folks here begged me to share - slop. Put up or shut up. Audit the codebase if you have the chops. Or do you just like to talk shit and hope no one calls you out?

Someone over on !perth asked a good question and it made me realise…it’s PiMaps (duh).

Which means you could probably host this on a Pi Zero 2 W with an SD card, then just connect your phone to its Wi-Fi hotspot.

Plug it into your car lighter via a converter, or even easier, run it from a USB battery bank.

So, for about $100 USD, if that, you could have a little “car server” that feeds PiMaps to your phone using basic off-the-shelf gear that you literally Lego together.

They do. They’re generally just… not very good or are very expensive.

Samsung had a good one in the Xcover. I’d get one but… well… Samsung.

We are glad to inform you that your application to the USS Enterprise Engineering Department has been accepted!

Please do not turn Admiral Archer’s beagle inside-out on day one and refrain from creating perpetual energy machines, sapient missiles or sexbots until you have undegone the requisite HR training and completed your schedule of immunisations.

Fork it call it and call it Chazzwazzers? 🤣

Kidding aside, it was designed to run on a low memory device, specifically the raspberry pi. It displays maps. So…

No. Reliable, universal and contemporaneous traffic data is generally not open source. You’d need to find a source and populate it yourself (aka the Main Roads department example I gave).

I can’t do that for every place on Earth. I’m not even sure I can do it for myself. It’s genuinely a hard problem and if anyone has a global fix, I’d be curious to see them add it. Not being snide, actually curious.

Best route choices: possibly, but it depends on what you mean. Geometry is pretty easy. Inferring best route based on traffic conditions…see above.

Someone asked if I would do live turn by turn & voice navigation. Yes and yes…but not for a while / I’m sick of this thing for now.

I outlined in the other post of how I think it should be added ; if you’d like to give it a shot, have at it.
