brouter 🚴

Generate GPX bike routes using the public brouter.de routing service.

This OpenClaw skill takes a start and end point plus a routing profile, calls brouter.de via index.js, and produces a GPX track file you can download or use in your navigation app.

What This Skill Does

• Converts user intent ("bike route from A to B") into a brouter.de request
• Uses a routing profile that matches the user's preferences (fast, quiet, safe, road bike, etc.)
• Writes the resulting GPX file into the local routes/ folder
• Returns the path/filename so you can share or download the GPX

Use this skill whenever the user wants a bike route as a GPX file between two places.

Usage

Natural-Language Triggers

You can call this skill from high-level prompts such as:

• "Create a GPX for a bike route from Prenzlauer Berg to Kreuzberg (profile: trekking)."
• "Give me a quiet route from Prenzlauer Berg to Kreuzberg as a GPX."
• "I need a fast bike route from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to Alexanderplatz as a GPX file."
