Welcome to the Poutnik's Brouter custom profiles wiki

The pages Bicycle-Trekking-profiles / Hiking-profiles / Car-profiles contain more deeply commented various aspects of profile options and way how to activate them. Some more verbose commentaries for Trekking/Hiking profiles are on pages Trekking-MTB-Profiles---legend and Hiking-profiles---verbose-comments.

  • As there was recently some confusion about used iswet flag, see the Iswet flag wiki page.
  • An explanation of various terms is listed in Glossary.
  • The routing / or just route generation can be done by one of the 3 ways:
    • By the Android application BRouter itself from Google Play ( just route generation )
    • By Android GPS navigation application OSMAnd, Locus and OruxMaps, that call BRouter internally via routing service API.
    • By BRouter Web Desktop Frontend - useful for profile testing and route planning
      • Be aware if you need BRouter web to generate navigation instructions, you have to change turnInstructionMode.
      • You can test the profiles online on Brouter-web frontend by pasting the profile text content to bottom left paste field + pressing UPLOAD button. It then appears as Custom profile, aside of predefined ones. Notice the changelog comments at top and bottom of the profile code.
      • You can let the Web to generate GPX file and import it to Phone application to view it on route you along it.
