Hello! I’m looking for a foss navigator app for my android device, but all navigator apps I’ve tried (OSMand, organic map) are missing a feature: when I calculate the route from point A to point B, on Google Maps a few possible routes are displayed, and then I chose the one I prefer; on other apps only one possible route is displayed, and if for any motivation I don’t want to pass from a certain street or something like this, I have no other options. Is there an app (or a way on these apps) to make it calculate a few possible routes instead of just one?
thanks in advance!
Because the processing is done on your phone, not by servers with enormous quantities of map data stores in RAM in the cloud.
but google maps also works offline, does it store the routes in memory? is it more convenient than calculating the route locally?
We’re talking about servers storing tens or hundreds of gigabytes of map data in RAM. Your phone doesn’t even have that capability. That’s why calculating a route on OSM is slow and Google is fast
