Description
AirPath is a heat-aware navigation app for walking in hot cities, currently available for Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Instead of optimizing only for distance or time, it helps you find routes with less direct sun and more shade, indoor spaces, malls, covered walkways and air-conditioned stops. Choose between Coolest, Shortest and Balanced routes depending on how you want to get around.You will be automatically redirected to the store page in a moment.

Could you build this?
Partial The navigation UI and routing app can be vibe coded, but accurate thermal routing requires 3D building shadow modeling, solar positioning calculations, and indoor/pedestrian transit network mapping.
What it would actually take: Requires high-resolution 3D GIS data (LOD2 building models, trees, covered walkways) and solar ephemeris algorithms to calculate dynamic real-time shade polygons throughout the day. Custom routing graph engine (such as Open Source Routing Machine or Valhalla) modified with custom cost weights favoring shaded segments, indoor walkways, and air-conditioned connections. The critical bottleneck is acquiring and maintaining accurate micro-level urban shade and indoor pathing geometry.
