-  * **[[https://www.graphhopper.com/|GraphHopper]]** - very fast and data-efficient routing service. Suitable for all ordinary outdoor activites - three kinds of bike profiles: **cycle**, **MTB** and **racing** and two types of walk profiles: **walk** and **hike**. GraphHopper offers also a **car** navigation profile.

-Offline routing engine BRouter offers much more sophisticated profile settings than any other services. Not only you can add more conditions relevant to various means of transport,
+BRouter offers many more routing profiles with additional configuration:

-**External profiles** - besides the BRouter profiles embedded directly in Locus, it is also possible to use profiles provided by BRouter developer or by other users - however, creating custom profiles is not trivial and is recommended for advanced users. **[[https://github.com/poutnikl/Brouter-profiles/wiki|Poutnik's GitHub page]]** provides further information as well as many ready-to-use profiles which shall be downloaded and placed in the directory **/Locus/data/brouter** (create if non-existent).
