Could you build this?
No Building offline depth-aware marine auto-routing requires complex maritime GIS processing, bathymetric data ingestion (NOAA ENC/vector charts), mesh routing algorithms, and live AIS/weather stream processing.
What it would actually take: Requires a native mobile stack (Swift/Kotlin or Rust core with C bindings) capable of offline spatial indexing (R-trees, GeoPackages) over gigabytes of NOAA bathymetric data. A specialized routing engine (A* or Dijkstra over constrained water depth polygons avoiding charted hazards) must be developed. Real-time AIS and weather ingest requires UDP/WebSocket parsers handling high-frequency telemetry streams.
