StarPilot/selfdrive/navd

navigation

This directory contains two daemons, navd and mapsd, which support navigation in the openpilot stack.

navd

navd takes in a route through the NavDestination param and sends out two packets: navRoute and navInstruction. These packets contain the coordinates of the planned route and turn-by-turn instructions.

map renderer

The map renderer listens for the navRoute and publishes a rendered map view over VisionIPC for the navigation model, which lives in selfdrive/modeld/. The rendered maps look like this:

development

Currently, mapbox is used for navigation.
