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.
Choosing-bicycle-profile can advice you what you need for the bike( choosing car or hiking profile is more straight-forward)
Getting profiles guide can advice how to get what you want.
The pages Bicycle-Trekking-profiles / Hiking-profiles / Car-profiles contain more deeply commented various aspects of profile options and way how to activate them.
An explanation of various terms is listed in Glossary.

- By the Android application BRouter itself from Google Play ( just route generation )
- By Android GPS navigation application OSMAnd, Locus and OruxMaps
  - via routing service API, that call BRouter internally.
  - via navigation along imported BRouter GPX route(track)
- By BRouter Web Desktop Frontend - useful for profile testing, route planning and GPX exports
