First of all: I really like Cruiser! A very handy App.

Usage of .map Vector Maps

Sorry for not knowing the specific Version of the Change, BUT: I cannot use my *.map files any more. :-(  Only *:GPX and *.GeoJSON are now supported. My already downloaded and imported germany.map (I did this 2 Months or so ago) are now pretty use less..
Most sites have there Maps in this Format. For example, Mapsforge only has .maps (or is there another data type available?!) and is listed in the section of Sources for Offline Downloads. Very Confusing..
Is it possible to add this feature again? Or is there some other way to help me?


Offline Routing
As a newbie to this, I needed some loong Time to figure out how to use GraphHopper. I know that there are already processed files under http://www.talent.gr/public/graphs/. Maybe a Link to this in the App would help a lot! And perhaps someone could upload some more Regions ;-)  ? 
Maybe there should be a little advise (how to use GraphHopper) in the Settings when choosing GraphHopper?


I hope Cruiser will evolve to an even more greater App!

Thanks for using Cruiser.

About map files, you need to download a vector map for the region you wish from one of the available servers:

- Mapsforge
- OpenAndroMaps
- AndroidMaps
- Freizeitkarte

And then to open it from the Map menu (unzip first if needed).

You can additionally download and open render themes which define different ways for the map rendering.

About offline routing, you need to open a graph from the settings in order to use it.

You can use Atlas for generating graphs.
Just give it as input an OpenStreetMap file, e.g. found at Geofabrik.

Then you can copy the created graph at Cruiser.
Or try it with Atlas too.
