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. Some more verbose commentaries for Trekking/Hiking profiles on 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
- 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 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.
