Genuine question: like when?

Fair amount of times I can think of, such as:

* Installing a new OS, some installers are cmdline only

* Server console

* If you've broken your GUI installation and need to fall back to the shell

I will say though: I don't know if I've ever needed a map in any of these situations :)

When on a bike ride between Spain and France but you only have 2G connection from your termux session to the tmux session running mapscii on your VPS. Google maps would timeout and you can't download a billion gigabyte map file.

Just use OSMand from FDroid and download the offline maps. The just use the GPS.

That's what I did with my GF at the French Basque Country in order to avoid paying roaming fees. The map files for a few provinces don't occupy more than few GB's. I think the whole map of Spain was about 3GB.

Between Spain and France you can barely download mail (a few kB), let alone download a map.

In Europe you don't need to worry about roaming, if you have and European SIM.

Any time I haven't bothered to start the windowing system and am instead using tmux from a kernel TTY.

A shell that can display Braille. No VT-100 for you.

If this [0] is your mobile device :-)
