Welcome to the Poutnik's Brouter custom profiles wiki

• The profiles are used by Brouter to calculate routes for bicycles, pedestrians and experimentally cars.
• The bike profiles are mainly focused on trekking/travelling bikes.
• The foot profiles are focused mainly on hiking / mountain hiking.
• Brouter profiles collection gives few general comments about the profiles.
• See Choosing-bicycle-profile ( choosing car or hiking profile is more straight-forward) and the Guide to get the profiles of interest.
• The pages Bicycle-Trekking-profiles / Hiking-profiles / Car-profiles contain more deeply commented various aspects of profile options and way how to activate them.
