Great work Peter and the rest of the GraphHopper team.

I note with interest the improvements to GraphHopper maps on mobile. I don't know if you saw a couple of days ago an article was linked on HN with an interview of Kevin and David from Valhalla: https://console.substack.com/p/console-179 where David says:

> The main drawback [of GraphHopper] compared to Valhalla is that it isn’t tailored to mobile environments. I think they supported an Android build at one time, but later they dropped support.

I wonder if you'd agree with that sentiment?




Thanks!

I think he meant that we dropped the explicit support of Android and the example app with offline maps (Mapsforge), see this issue: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/issues/1940

But offline routing should still work on Android. But as you need JDK 1.8 support this will exclude a few older Android versions and devices, I think.
