Hi,
This is both a post to ask questions as well as trying to get a "mini HowTo" on how to get it working. It would be nice to have it working on a chromebook as well.
I now have a Chromebook (Toshiba Chromebook 2) as well. I installed crouton onto it with trusty/xfce4. I installed openjdk-7-jre and the icedtea-7-plugin as well.
Then I downloaded the linux RouteConverterLinux.jar and the linux RouteConverterLinuxOffline.jar. Both version 2.14.3
With the "RouteConverterLinux.jar" I get the "Failed to create chrriis.dj.nativeswing.swtimpl.components.core.NativeWebBrowser" even though I have "libwebkitgtk-1.0-0" installed. How to fix/debug this. The /tmp/RouteConverter.log does not really store information I can use. And nothing is stored in any of the /var/log/ logs.
Then I tried the "RouteConverterLinuxOffline.jar" which uses OpenStreetMap and Graphhopper/Brouter/Beeline. As I'm fully on OSM and using Brouter as well, I think this is a great development.
A lot of questions. I hope you have a lot of answers
Edit: last bullet was automatically solved. After a few restarts I could suddenly select brouter and graphhopper again.

- I started with brouter using car-test but I only get a straight line. Does it need to download stuff from brouter or is it using the api (or whatever) to http://brouter.de/brouter-web/ ?
- Then I tried to calculate a route with graphhopper. it needs to download the relevant pbf. No problem as such but I get a CRC error when downloading maps.
- Then I tried beeline, but that seems not to do anything as I get a straight line as well. (or is that what it is: beeline -> a bee flying in a straight line?)
- Beeline was the last option I tried but now I can't select graphhopper or brouter anymore. Neither after restarting. I checked the .routeconverter hidden folder for setup options but I'm not able to find them.
