Terrain contour matching on consumer hardware using barometer elevation profiles is clever.

Strengths

•Terrain contour matching for consumer navigation is genuinely inventive approach
•Offline OSM + DEM data with A* routing means zero network dependency
•I am lost feature matches your elevation curve against the map to reorient

Weaknesses

•Prototype stage with 1 star — unclear real-world accuracy or battery impact
•Narrow use case since GPS denial scenarios are rare for most users

Post Description

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share what I have been working on recently. I had this itch for a long time to figure out if terrain contour matching could help with ground navigation, by only only relying on iphone's sensors and public data. So far I have had decent results. This is a working prototype, but there is a lot that is in the pipeline. If you notice anything weird, let me know or open a PR. Any feedback, comments are welcome :)
