Skyline Nav AI’s software can guide you anywhere, without GPS — find it at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025

Skyline Nav AI, founded by Kanwar Singh, has developed Pathfinder, an AI-driven vision-based navigation system that can guide users without relying on GPS. The software matches visual inputs—such as buildings, roads, or aerial views—to a database to provide real-time navigation, making it especially useful in environments where GPS signals are blocked, like urban canyons or mountainous terrain. Beyond civilian applications, the technology addresses critical national security concerns by serving as a backup against GPS jamming, a growing threat in modern warfare. This capability has already attracted partnerships with the Department of Defense, NASA, and defense contractor Kearfott, despite Skyline being a small startup with just eight employees. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, Singh introduced Pathfinder Edge, a compact edge computing device that runs a streamlined version of Pathfinder, enabling GPS-independent navigation on various platforms without requiring cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity. Singh envisions Skyline’s technology complementing GPS rather than replacing it, similar to how modern communication systems seamlessly
