A minimalistic directions service aimed at users of feature phones/dumb phones, terminal-based browsers, low-bandwidth connections, screen readers etc. Best suited for public transport directions. No JavaScript requirements.

Very Nice, this is very much needed

As someone who is currently enamored with Meshtastic devices, several of which have built in GPS, this is making me wonder of future iterations of the software and being able to somehow utilize the directions on the mesh.

How exactly does this work? Does it use Gmaps API?
purplehat_•23m ago
Yes, to self-host it you will need a Google maps API key.

In the related links at the bottom, https://gdir.telae.net/links.html, the Git repo https://github.com/pafoster/gdir.telae.net is available along with some other cool things.

Reminds me of GOOG-411! Used to use that all the time back in the day before I got a smart phone. https://youtu.be/J937N9m-XtE?si=-rsbP3Nm6GRGpZGQ&t=185

This takes me back to the MapQuest era, printing out directions and reading them while driving.
