Architectural Narrative

A geospatial discovery engine for the Nilgiris. Real-time mountain trail routing, offline GPS caching, and interactive 3D terrain elevation built for rugged terrain.

01 // THE CHALLENGE & PROBLEM

Hikers in the Nilgiris struggled with static maps and dropped signals. They needed dependable trail coordinates and topography that works entirely offline.

02 // ARCHITECTURE & APPROACH

We built a responsive Next.js application with vector waypoint geometry, cached trail routing, and fluid momentum scroll sequences.

03 // VERIFIED OUTCOMES

Production Active • Fluid 60+ FPS Motion • Sub-second Page Loads
