[Offline routing](https://docs.kurviger.de/app/offline_routing) has been made available in [Kurviger 1.12.4](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/kurviger-1-12-4/2832). Which of the two offline routing services do you use the most and why? - GraphHopper - BRouter ---

Hallo, ich nutze nur den BRouter, aus folgenden Gründen: Länderübergreifendes Routing, verschiedene Profile nutzbar, einfacherer Download und Update der Daten. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hi, I only use the BRouter for the following reasons: Cross-country routing, different profiles can be used, easier download and update of data. ---

Currently I am using GraphHopper (well, Kurviger-GraphHopper in settings). The reason is, that I had issues with BRouter unintentionally skipping waypoints [App: Offline routing (BRouter) - #55 by linux-user](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/app-offline-routing-brouter/649/55) This may have been improved in recent App versions, I simply haven’t enough time to test. Currently development is faster than I can test. 😉 👍 But if the intention of this thread is, to remove one routing service - then **keep BRouter!** ---

> [@linux-user](#): > > But if the intention of this thread is, to remove one routing service - then **keep BRouter!** Offline maps, GraphHopper, etc. are not “free”. We pay servers to maintain their data. _But question was for statistics. App’s future model can be better discussed in its [topic](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/app-switch-to-pay-as-you-go-licensing/210)._ > [@linux-user](#): > > The reason is, that I had issues with BRouter unintentionally skipping waypoints [App: Offline routing (BRouter)](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/app-offline-routing-brouter/649/55) > This may have been improved in resent App versions, I simply haven’t enough time to test. This is explained and must have already been improved in: > [@App: Improve BRouter turn instructions](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/app-improve-brouter-turn-instructions/3143): > > BRouter does not generate turn instructions for waypoints. So BRouter routes don’t know waypoints, only start + end. That may concern navigation (reported [here](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/skip-waypoints-deactivated-with-brouter/3136) and [here](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/app-in-offline-mode-rerouting-makes-all-waypoints-disappear/3417)). We must post process & enrich BRouter results before use.
