Add StoryRoute to awesome-openstreetmap

StoryRoute - AI-powered GPS audio tour guide that uses OpenStreetMap to deliver location-triggered narratives as you explore the world.

Why it belongs here

StoryRoute is built on OpenStreetMap as its core mapping layer and uses it in two distinct ways:

• Explore Mode: As you walk, OSM powers real-time geolocation tracking. Every 300 metres, the app queries nearby POIs and landmarks from OSM data, then generates AI audio narrations about what you're passing — turning any street into a living story.
• • Route Mode: Users enter an origin and destination; OSM routing calculates the path, and the app narrates each waypoint with contextually rich stories about the places along the route.

Technical stack

• OpenStreetMap (map tiles + POI data + routing)
• • Claude AI (Anthropic) for narrative generation
• • • Web Speech Synthesis API for audio delivery
• • • • Progressive Web App (installable, works offline for cached routes)
• • • • • Geolocation API for real-time position tracking

    StoryRoute demonstrates a compelling real-world use of OSM beyond standard mapping — using its rich POI dataset as the foundation for AI-generated place stories. It works in any city globally where OSM data exists.

I looked at the page and can't see OSM attributed.

The website doesn't work because it uses API which blocked the page (HTTP 429)

(I'm not in Ireland, the map for my location doesn't display Ireland)

This alone should disqualify any PR, it "eats" maintainers time while the creation of PRs became very cheap
