About

Loci is a navigation app designed for mobile Linux devices. It provides turn-by-turn directions with automatic rerouting when you leave the route, map rotation to follow your direction of travel, and a clean interface inspired by GNOME Maps. Location is sourced from the XDG Location Portal (GeoClue) and routing from OSRM in combination with Ferrostar. The map snaps the position indicator to the road when on-route. Disclaimer: For informational purposes only. Do not use while driving. Navigation data may be inaccurate or incomplete - never rely solely on this app for navigation or safety-critical decisions.
