Could you build this?
Partial While the map UI and GPX parsing are straightforward, industrial-grade offline routing across road/trail networks and high-resolution elevation profiles require compiling routing engines like BRouter/OSRM and massive digital elevation models (DEM) to WebAssembly or local vector tiles.
What it would actually take: A real offline-first routing system requires porting a graph-routing engine (such as BRouter or GraphHopper) to WebAssembly alongside chunked OpenStreetMap routing data and global DEM raster tiles (like SRTM or Copernicus). The architecture must manage client-side spatial indexing, dynamic routing queries along specialized surface types, and local caching of multi-gigabyte geographical tiles via IndexedDB. Building this requires specialized experience in GIS data structures, graph search algorithms (A*, contraction hierarchies), and WebAssembly memory management.
