Build a focused hiking navigator that combines public map data with recent GPS^? traces and human verification of trail existence, access, junctions, and water sources. Users create or import routes, download a compact offline safety pack, and follow the route or retrace their recorded path. Begin with one hiking region and treat verified coverage—not social networking or a global trail catalog—as the core product.

The signals show that hikers already pay for offline navigation and consider it safety equipment, while persistent complaints about missing, phantom, and difficult-to-create routes remain across competing products. Public geographic data and volunteered field traces make region-by-region verification feasible for a small operator.
