Declarative cross-platform UI for navigation
Maps navigation software is a crucial part of computer systems today, be it on Mobile, Desktop, Automotive and so on. For quite a lot time already, we have a brilliant open-source maps application, now named Organic Maps. It's features make it strong competitor to commercial-grade software, among them are: privacy, fully offline maps, low battery consumption, navigation, points of interest (POI) and much more. Currently, the application shows it's strength on mainstream mobile operating systems only. On other systems, it's ability is quite limited, mainly because of lack of proper User Interface for them.
This project aims to create an Organic Maps convergent touch-friendly User Interface for Linux, backed by featured Qt Quick/QML application framework, perfectly suitable for this task. This would allow feature-parity for Mobile and Desktop Linux systems, and also creates solid ground for further unification of the User Interface among other platforms.
