Matt 95dd4438fe docs: add traffic-intelligent routing and Idaho 511 planned features
- Append section 11 (On-Network Traffic Intelligence) to OFFROUTE-ARCHITECTURE.md
- Create navi-feature-ideas.md with planned features:
  - Traffic-aware Valhalla routing via TomTom tiles
  - Idaho 511 incident feed integration
  - ADS-B/AIS tracking
  - TAK Server + EUD integration
  - Native iOS app

Navi Feature Ideas

Planned features and enhancements for the Navi navigation platform.


Traffic & Incident Intelligence

Traffic-Aware Routing

Status: Planned (post-Phase O3)

Integrate TomTom traffic data into Valhalla routing calculations:

  • TomTom traffic tiles already available at /api/traffic/* (visual overlay)
  • Configure Valhalla traffic_tile_dir to consume speed data
  • Routes will account for live congestion on segments 24 of offroute chain
  • Does not affect wilderness pathfinder (segment 1)

Idaho 511 Incident Feed

Status: Planned (post-Phase O3)

Real-time road closure and incident integration:

  • Poll Idaho 511 API every 510 minutes
  • Store active incidents in navi.db with auto-expiration
  • Display incidents as map overlay (icons/markers)
  • Feed closures to Valhalla as avoid_locations for routing
  • Stretch: support other state 511 feeds for cross-state trips

Tracking & Situational Awareness

ADS-B Aircraft Tracking

Status: Planned

Display live aircraft positions from ADS-B receivers:

  • Integrate with local ADS-B receiver (dump1090/readsb)
  • Show aircraft positions, altitude, callsign on map
  • Useful for backcountry SAR coordination and general aviation awareness

AIS Vessel Tracking

Status: Planned

Display marine vessel positions:

  • Integrate with AIS receiver or feed
  • Show vessel positions, heading, name on map
  • Applicable for coastal/maritime navigation scenarios

TAK Integration

TAK Server + EUD Integration

Status: Planned

Connect Navi to the TAK ecosystem (ATAK, iTAK, WinTAK):

  • TAK Server integration for shared situational awareness
  • Push Navi routes to TAK clients as CoT (Cursor on Target)
  • Pull team member positions from TAK into Navi
  • Enable SAR/field team coordination through unified COP

Mobile & Offline

Native iOS App

Status: Planned

Native iOS application for offline-first navigation:

  • Full offline map tile access
  • Offline routing with pre-cached Valhalla tiles
  • Integration with Apple Watch for turn-by-turn
  • Meshtastic/LoRa mesh network support for off-grid comms

Notes

  • Features above Phase O3 depend on core offroute functionality being complete
  • Traffic and 511 features can be built in parallel
  • TAK integration useful for field coordination but not blocking core nav
