Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 8, Documentation: 6, Utility: 5)

Anumaan is a navigation app for GPS and internet-denied regions that uses offline maps, points of interest verification, and terrain contour matching (TERCOM) via compass and barometer sensors to estimate position. It is interesting because it tackles a challenging real-world problem with a creative, missile-guidance-inspired approach and includes both real-world testing and a simulator for scalable iteration.

Target audience: backend devs, mobile devs, data engineers
