@taviso While not quite the same (directions vs. graphical map), it reminds me of Mapscii, a Telnet service that provides a terminal frontend to an #OpenStreetMap based map.

πΊ MapSCII is a Braille & ASCII world map renderer for your console - enter => telnet mapscii.me <= on Mac (brew install telnet) and Linux, connect with PuTTY on Windows - rastapasta/mapscii
AttachΓ©β―: 1 image For the record, I wrote a #Gopher gateway to #OpenStreetMap for pygopherd: http://revolf.free.fr/linux/osm.pyg Feel free to adapt this to #Gemini ;-) #MCH2022 #MCH2022clairvoyance
very nice! we need to get a proper reboot of #gopherspace going somehow. the original federated network with menus to take you from one gopher hole to another seamlessly.

The last credible window of opportunity I recall for rebooting #gopherspace was right before the birth of smartphones, when dumb phones had a bit of connectivity but limited graphics and no qwerty keyboards.
Has there been any text-only computing environment to speak of since?
