Got it. Thanks Harry. On another thread, in a different context, on Github Discussions: someone pointed out that you can manually add an online routing engine (Graphhopper, et.al.) to a selected navigation profile. Which suggests one might be able to match that to a selected routing algorithm on RouteConverter. But of course, that would only work in the field with a cellular connection.
I was wondering if you could flip this idea and match a web service to OsmAnd's default offline algorithm. But no.
