Kurviger uses the GraphHopper Directions API. Are there any plans to use the MapLibre Navigation SDK as a more modern alternative?

I am one of the maintainers of the Maplibre Navigation SDK 😉 we are also listed here: [Kurviger | Made with MapLibre](https://madewithmaplibre.com/products/kurviger)

Yeah, sorry, I had to do some research on the topic first. I’d only installed the Kurviger app a few days ago and was puzzled by some strange behavior when using it for on-the-fly navigation. So I’ve now started comparing the Kurviger app with two other OSM navigation apps in real-world use: Magic Earth and OSMand. It will certainly take me a few more weeks to make any valid conclusions, but so far I think Magic Earth works a bit better for navigation, while Kurviger has been my absolute favorite for route planning for years.

Is Kurviger working on developing its own navigation system, or are they sticking firmly with Graphhopper?

Just to clarify, we use our own routing and don’t use the GraphHopper directions API for routing. Our routing engine is an extension of the GraphHopper OSS.

Ok, good to know, thanks for the information.
