Welcome to the Poutnik's Brouter custom profiles wiki
-
The profiles are used by Brouter to calculate routes for bicycles, pedestrians and experimentally cars.
-
My bike profiles are focused on bike trekking/traveling. They evaluate thoroughly road types, surface conditions and difficulties like OSM tag smoothness and MTB_scale. They contain features to bias them toward road-bikes or MTB, but by their nature they remain trekking profiles.
-
The foot profile are mainly focused on ( mountain ) hiking, taking into OSM way types, surface and difficulty like OSM tag SAC_scale and MTB_scale.
-
You can learn a lot about concepts and terms of my profiles in the Glossary page. There are partially presented also related terms of Brouter itself and hosting applications ( mainly LocusMap ).
-
All profiles are derived from universal templates for hiking / biking / car driving respectively. It is done by switching logical flags a/o by changing numerical parameters. These changes tweak the profile behavior. The final profiles are given more or less self-explaining names, with short comments in the profile header comments.
-
The templates are under occasional development, so some experimental features, less used profiles of new versions of profiles may be found in respective project of the profile templates.
-
Choosing-bicycle-profile can advice you in 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. Glossary provides explanations of various terms used in context of the profiles, Brouter or Locus.
