BRouter1.7.9

BRouter calculates bicycle routes with elevation-aware directions, giving a mapping app routes that account for climbs and descents. Its routing process is designed to work fully offline, letting cyclists navigate in areas where an active connection is unavailable. Rather than presenting maps as a complete standalone application, it provides a navigation service that can be selected inside compatible mapping tools such as OsmAnd.

Users can choose freely configurable routing profiles, request alternative calculations, and mark via points or nogo points to guide or exclude particular areas. The routing algorithm can also consider long-distance cycle routes, making it useful for touring as well as local rides. Worldwide routing data receives automatic weekly updates, keeping offline calculations supplied with refreshed information.

BRouter suits commuters, touring cyclists, and route planners who need bicycle navigation in places with unreliable connectivity. It is categorized under Navigation & Travel and interfaces with some of the most popular map tools, while leaving map display and the broader travel experience to the host application. Support questions and feedback can be raised through its Google group.

It is released under an open-source license and is version 1.7.9 for Android 5.0 and newer, with Universal architecture. A compatible mapping application is part of the way BRouter is used, because the software concentrates on calculating cycling routes rather than providing a complete mapping environment.
