Navigation only online?

[Toms Navi]

Hello,

 

could it be that a connection to the internet is needed if I want to navigate or to select a destination ?

 

There is always the message "no internet connection" when I try to select a destinaion.

I want to use this smartphone only offline. That also the reason for a offline navigation tool.

 

Thanks

Tom

Hi,

Thanks for trying Cruiser.

Currently the routing is performed through MapQuest or OSRM providers.
More to be added and they are selectable via preferences.
So only routing / search requires online communication.

The map viewing of the vector maps is always offline.
At future versions there going to be also offline routing.

Best regards

Cruiser has now offline routing (GraphHopper).

The graph folder can be defined at 'Settings' - 'Navigation'.
Cruiser supports graphs with contraction hierarchies enabled or disabled.

From Wiki:
Contraction hierarchies is a post-import process which makes routing faster (bidirectional algorithms).
At the moment only one travel mode (usually car) can be used if contraction hierarchies is enabled.
A more flexible routing (but slower) with multiple travel modes (car, bike, foot) requires graphs with contraction hierarchies disabled.

I have created contraction hierarchical graphs for some regions.

There are also some no contraction hierarchical graphs, having the suffix '_all'.

You can email me if you need more graphs.
