*** If you do not know one of the supporting map applications, then the BRouter-App is useless for you. Download only if you are willing to spend some time to understand the setup. No one-star reviews from the unpatient please! email for problems ***
BRouter does only the plain route-calculation and does not display a map or the calculated route on it's own and therefore works only together with a Map Application. There are two different methods for the interfacing between BRouter and the Map application: BRouter offers a service interface that is called by the map application without a need to start the BRouter-App. This way, BRouter is a routing service very much like an online routing service, including dynamic recalculations if you get off the track. The other mode of operation is to start the BRouter-App and use waypoints from the map application's waypoint database to define your route. The calculated route is then written as a GPX file (including the elevation profile) to the map-application's tracks directory.
Some popular map apps support both the service interface and the interface via the wayoint database in their current versions available on Google Play.
The service interface uses a timeout of 60s, limiting it's use to distances of about 50km, but using the BRouter App you are able to calculate much longer distances. But even long-distance tracks can be followed via the service interface (including dynamic recalculations). This is done by pre-calculating a route for your destination once using the BRouter App and assigning it to a routing mode via the "Server-Mode" Button. This feature is called "timeout-free recalculations".
The route calculation, no matter if via the service interface or via the BRouter App, also considers nogo areas that can be defined as waypoints with a special naming convention (e.g. "nogo200" for 200m radius). This way it is possible to account for actual obstacles, but this feature can also be used to enforce personal preferences.
BRouter contains a download manager that assists downloading the required routing data files.The download manager is called on the first start of the app, and later on it is offered if internet access is available.
The mapping from one of the 6 routing modes (car/bike/foot * fast/short), that are used traditionally by routing services, and BRouter's concept of fully configurable routing profiles get's the following default mapping after the installation of BRouter:
car-fast -> car-test
car-short -> moped
bike-fast -> fastbike
bike-short -> trekking
foot-fast -> shortest
foot-short -> shortest
This mapping, however, can by changed anytime via the "Server-Mode" Button of the BRouter App. But also the routing profile definitions can be changed or new ones can be created.
Routing for cars is is currently available only in an experimental state ("car-test") and is not recommend. For example, turn-restriction are not taken into account.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Help please Have New phone with Android 7.0, the app doesn't work anymore with oruxmaps! What can I do?
5 ★Great for off road touring. My first choice router!
1 ★Resume feature for downloads? No. Welcome to 1970!
5 ★Brilliant, have been using it for hiking and trekking in several countries (as a Locus map service) and it works great. The app itself, in "download" mode looks a little rudimentary- but makes the job well done anyway. Perhaps adding an option to auto update the downloaded tiles, or at least check and notify if the data has changed since last download?
5 ★A very useful complement/plugin for various offline maps such as locus and osmand. Make sure to download the sector where you need the routing capability. When navigating and internet goes stoneage, you should have this as one of you alternatives. Take note that it doesn't know all one-way (under construction roads like waze does) but it should give you an idea of the routes to take esp on far flung areas. N00BS who will be using this, read first how to use before whining--use some brain cells. Ciao!
3 ★Does not work anymore: "missing data file for offline routing", despite I downloaded my area of interest
5 ★Per 550km lenkijos slovakijos pasieniu pravažiavome su dviračiais. Nereikėjo net popierinio žemėlapio. Locus+BRouter idealiai vedė link tikslo, net ir miškingomis kalnuotomis vietovėmis
1 ★Avoids bikeways often follows main Roads. Dangerous.
5 ★Great companion to Locus Maps. Been looking for something with altitude navigation for a long time for biking or winter driving when the roads are icy.
5 ★There might be an auto update feature implemented to keep the data files always up to date
5 ★Custom routing profiles, world class!
4 ★5* if UI was nicer. Just needs to dump the Android 2.0 style. It is not that hard, other than that this app is solid 4*, adds offline route calculation that is extremely useful!
