Offline-first mapping SDK

Build a developer toolkit for offline map applications in emergencies. Target NGOs and disaster response teams.

Why now

Recent disasters prove the need for reliable offline mapping when networks fail.

Who for
Disaster response organizations
Business model
SDK licensing
Effort
A few months

Emergency responders often work where networks are down, yet most mapping tools assume connectivity.

Create an SDK that bundles offline maps, routing, and location sharing. Optimize for low-power devices and quick deployment.

NGOs would pay for reliable tools that work anywhere. Governments might fund development.

Start with basic offline tile storage and GPS plotting. Add routing later.

Risk: OpenStreetMap provides free alternatives. Must offer unique emergency features.
