Hi,



Just wondering if there is anything going on relating to brouter integration?



Mostly oruxmaps+brouter combination is working really great, but there are still few small but annoying things when using it everyday.





1. Default routing tool (and profiles)



For me current version (V6.5.10 Donate) is showing graphopper as default routing tool and I can't find any way to change this to brouter.



As a very easy fix for this, could oruxmaps just remember last used routing tool and routing profile?



2. Allowing use to all available profiles from brouter.



This is related to other thread also: http://www.oruxmaps.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=3750">http://www.oruxmaps.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=3750



Currently I have to use these 6 default profiles. This means that I have to remember that foot -> shortest is actually made for mountain walking, when food-fast is for skiing... It's not a problem if I'm doing it everyday, but after little break I really can't remember what was what...



Best solution is of course dynamically get all active profiles what are configured to brouter.



I can see few choices:



a) If there is API which can be used to ask available profiles from brouter, this would be fine.



b) Use the brouter's serviceconfig.dat file (inside /brouter/modes/). There are listed all available profiles like:

Code Select Expand

foot_fast deepsnow-skiing
foot_short mountain-walking

Second name is actual profile "file" used inside brouter, so I can rename it as I like. Grabbing this and showing it as routing profile inside oruxmaps could be one solution.



c) If choice a or b are not possible to implement, just allowing to rename profiles inside oruxmaps will make using them lot of easier.

Hi Orux,

allways graphhopper first.

Is it possible to change the preset of OruxMaps routing planner? i'd like to have the BRouter as default instead of MapQuest on the right side of the routing planner.

On the left side I don't need the 'Car'-Option. This is only a test version an not usefully. Is it possible to reduce the options?

Thanks;



it is not possible now, I will add an option to remember the last values selected,

Something new?

This is for me the most (and only) missing function.



Always Graphopper and car.

I need only brouter and bicycle.

Hi,

did you tried the last version?

In my "7.3.2rev2" OruxMaps remembers the last used settings.

Even after phone restart, i see pre-selected, what i i used before.

:-)

Yes, this feature is implemented now. We say in Germany "What lasts long will be good".

Thanks to Oruxmaps programmer.

[6745th@web.de]

Interesting,

today its working as expected.

7.3.2 Donate from Store.



Seems so, that in one of the last updates orux fixed this Bug. Great!

Hello,

where can I find infos to use NoGo areas with BRouter under Oruxmaps?
I would like to use thisfunction.

Alternatively there is also GraphHopper offline. Is there a description of how I can use GraphHopper offline?

It's not included in the manual...

In OruxMaps v.7.4.28 (and older) there was the option "bicycle / shortest", which used a profile for TREKKING bicycles in BRouter.

Now in the recent OruxMaps versions I just have the choice between racing bicycle and mountainbike. How can I use the old TREKKING bicycle profile for route calculation in BRouter again?

Could you include this as option to select in OruxMaps as well please? Many families with children, people cycling in cities and also older people use TREKKING bicycles, I would bet in total these are way more than racing bicycles and mountainbike users.

Hello, go to global configuration > tracks, you will find a box that says use OruxMaps profiles in brouter, uncheck that box, in this way the planner profiles will be the ones you already know from the versions you have said
Best regards

[Sandy]

Thanks a lot 
Just de-selecting "Use OruxMaps profiles for Brouter" brings back the old selections like "Bicycling / shortest", and if you activate "Show all Brouter profiles" instead, you get a much bigger list for selection, similar to what you can choose on brouter-web or bikerouter.de. Only tiny drawback in this case is that this list always is in English language, whereas selecting none of these checkboxes or OruxMaps profiles shows the options in your local language (the language you selected in OruxMaps configuration).

Hi Sandy,
you can rename brouter's profiles to your preferred language with a file manager app. The profiles are stored in Android/media/btools.routingapp/brouter/profiles2

Two remarks:

• In beta 10 the profiles in the route planner are sorted in a bit special way - first capital letters then small letters (e.g. Auto - Fahrrad - Zug - kürzester Weg)
• after you renamed (or deleted) profiles you should only update your routing data with Oruxmaps and not with brouter as brouter downloads its default profiles with every update and you'll have them in your list again.

Hello, I think our friend Sandy uses GP version 10.7.4, so he still can't customize the name of the profiles with impact on the OruxMaps planner listing.

Thank you - I tried it with v.11.0.0beta10 of OruxMaps now, there it works with renaming the profile filenames. I appreciate to have the choice to use these different profiles. However, maybe @orux nevertheless could also integrate a "bicycle trekking" profile to his "OruxMaps profiles" that are pre-configured, so that "newbies" / people who don't want to change anything in configuration also directly can choose a trekking profile for cycling.
