There are many ways to approach this, but assuming nothing speaks against using an online service (contrary to an offline, on device solution), your best bet is to use Photon. This has the additional advantage that it is easy to host yourself if your usage is so high that you can't use any of the free services.

See https://photon.komoot.de for more information.
