Thanks for the info! I do not follow the sxmo mailing list but I sometimes check this forum.
I use Mobian on my PP which I daily drive and a good offline navigation software is what I miss the most on my PP so I am very happy to read about your project
I switched to the PP when my previous Android phone died, I was using OsmAnd~ (from FDroid) on it.
Do you now about OsmAnd ? It is the best offline navigation software that I know of. It is truly amazing. It is for the major part open-source but there is no Linux build, and it seems quite tied to Android/iOS with regard to the user interface.
There are days when I am tempted to attempt porting OsmAnd to Linux, but that seems a big task. Also there is the risk of the upstream breaking everything if we have to use private APIs. (There was an attempt of a Linux port in the past, named OffRoad, but it did not remain active for long, maybe because the user base was too small).
I would also like to try to get OsmAnd working on the PP using Waydroid.
Still, OsmAnd is not perfect because there is no native Linux build
I will definitely have a look at your project when I have time, and maybe help were I can. I will test, for sure.
