YesNo, it is not really a "proprietary" algorithm. Of course every
developer implements it in his/her/their way.
It is the well-documented A* algorithm in bidirectional mode with Osmand's
extensive priority and penalty extensions, but in an
open-source application, so not really proprietary.
It could be copied by anyone (if you understand the code as it is pretty
complex) and put inside another app or a java applet on a website.
But as far as I know it is not used anywhere on the web.
