but google maps also works offline, does it store the routes in memory? is it more convenient than calculating the route locally?
We're talking about servers storing tens or hundreds of gigabytes of map data in RAM. Your phone doesn't even have that capability. That's why calculating a route on OSM is slow and Google is fast
