Router Output
There are three different formats of output from the router, HTML, GPX (GPS eXchange) XML format and plain text with a total of five possible output files:- HTML route instructions for each interesting junction.
- GPX track file containing every node.
- GPX route file with waypoints at interesting junctions.
- Plain text description with the interesting junctions.
- Plain text file with every node.
The output files are written to the current directory and are named depending on the selection of shortest or quickest route. For the shortest route the file names are "shortest.html", "shortest-track.gpx", "shortest-route.gpx", "shortest.txt" and "shortest-all.txt", for the quickest route the names are "quickest.html", "quickest-track.gpx", "quickest-route.gpx", "quickest.txt" and "quickest-all.txt".
The HTML file and GPX files are written out according to the selected language using the translations contained in the translations.xml configuration file. The text files contains untranslated header lines (in English) but the data is translated.
HTML Route Instructions
The HTML route instructions file contains one line for each of the interesting junctions in the route and one line for the highway that connects them.An example HTML file output is below (some parts are missing, for example the style definitions):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <HTML> <!-- Creator : Routino - http://www.routino.org/ --> <!-- Source : Based on OpenStreetMap data from http://www.openstreetmap.org/ --> <!-- License : http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ --> <HEAD> <TITLE>Shortest Route</TITLE> ... </HEAD> <BODY> <H1>Shortest Route</H1> <table> <tr class='c'><td class='l'><td class='r'>51.524677 -0.127896 <tr class='n'><td class='l'>Start:<td class='r'>At <span class='w'>Waypoint</span>, head <span class='b'>South-East</span> <tr class='s'><td class='l'>Follow:<td class='r'><span class='h'>Russell Square</span> for <span class='d'>0.391 km, 0.5 min</span> [<span class='j'>0.4 km, 0 minutes</span>] ... <tr class='t'><td class='l'>Total:<td class='r'><span class='j'>6.3 km, 5 minutes</span> <tr><td class='l'>Stop:<td class='r'><span class='w'>Waypoint</span> </table> </BODY> </HTML>The coordinates are included in the file but are not visible because of the style definitions.
GPX Track File
The GPX track file contains a track with all of the individual nodes that the route passes through.An example GPX track file output is below:

GPX Route File
The GPX route file contains a route (ordered set of waypoints) with all of the interesting junctions that the route passes through.An example GPX route file output is below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gpx version="1.1" creator="Routino" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd"> <metadata> <desc>Creator : Routino - http://www.routino.org/</desc> <copyright author="Based on OpenStreetMap data from http://www.openstreetmap.org/"> <license>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/</license> </copyright> </metadata> <rte> <name>Shortest route</name> <desc>Shortest route between 'start' and 'finish' waypoints</desc> <rtept lat="51.524677" lon="-0.127896"><name>START</name> <desc>South-East on 'Russell Square' for 0.391 km, 0.5 min</desc></rtept> <rtept lat="51.521815" lon="-0.124577"><name>TRIP001</name> <desc>South-East on 'Russell Square' for 0.055 km, 0.1 min</desc></rtept> ... <rtept lat="51.478244" lon="-0.103652"><name>FINISH</name> <desc>Total Journey 6.3 km, 5 minutes</desc></rtept> </rte> </gpx>
Text File
The text file format contains one entry for all of the interesting junctions in the route and is intended to be easy to interpret.An example text file output is below:
# Creator : Routino - http://www.routino.org/ # Source : Based on OpenStreetMap data from http://www.openstreetmap.org/ # License : http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ # #Latitude Longitude Section Section Total Total Point Turn Bearing Highway # Distance Duration Distance Duration Type 51.524677 -0.127896 0.000 km 0.0 min 0.0 km 0 min Waypt +3 51.521815 -0.124577 0.391 km 0.5 min 0.4 km 0 min Junct +0 +3 Russell Square ... 51.478353 -0.103561 0.598 km 0.4 min 6.2 km 5 min Junct +2 -3 Camberwell New Road (A202) 51.478244 -0.103652 0.013 km 0.0 min 6.3 km 5 min Waypt Vassall Road
The text file output contains a header (indicated by the lines starting with '#') and then one line for each junction. Each line contains the information for the route up to that point and the direction to go next. For each of the lines the individual fields contain the following:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Latitude | Location of the point (degrees) |
| Longitude | Location of the point (degrees) |
| Section Distance | The distance travelled on the section of the journey that ends at this point (defined on this line). |
| Section Duration | The duration of travel on the section of the journey that ends at this point (defined on this line). |
| Total Distance | The total distance travelled up to this point. |
| Total Duration | The total duration of travel up to this point. |
| Point Type | The type of point; either a waypoint Waypt or junction Junct. |
| Turn | The direction to turn at this point (missing for the first point since the journey has not started yet and the last point because it has finished). This can take one of nine values between -4 and +4 defined by: 0 = Straight, +2 = Right, -2 = Left and +/-4 = Reverse. |
| Bearing | The direction to head at this point (missing for the last point since the journey has finished). This can take one of nine values between -4 and +4 defined by: 0 = North, +2 = East, -2 = West and +/-4 = South. |
| Highway | The name (or description) of the highway to follow (missing on the first line). |
The individual items are separated by tabs but some of the items contain spaces as well.
All Nodes Text File
The all nodes text file format contains one entry for each of the nodes on the route.An example all nodes text file output is below:
# Creator : Routino - http://www.routino.org/ # Source : Based on OpenStreetMap data from http://www.openstreetmap.org/ # License : http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ # #Latitude Longitude Node Type Segment Segment Total Total Speed Bearing Highway # Dist Durat'n Dist Durat'n 51.524677 -0.127896 7485978* Waypt 0.000 0.00 0.00 0.0 51.523830 -0.126993 7485047* Junct 0.113 0.14 0.11 0.1 96 146 Woburn Place ... 51.478353 -0.103561 7576939* Junct 0.104 0.07 6.25 5.0 96 126 Camberwell New Road (A202) 51.478244 -0.103652 7581605 Waypt 0.013 0.01 6.26 5.0 64 207 Vassall Road
The all nodes text file output is similar to the text file output except that a line is printed for each of the nodes rather than just the interesting junctions. For each of the lines the individual fields contain the following:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Latitude | Location of the point in degrees. |
| Longitude | Location of the point in degrees. |
| Node | The internal node number and an indicator "*" if the node is a super-node. |
| Type | The type of point; a waypoint Waypt, junction Junct, change of highway Change or intermediate node Inter. |
| Segment Distance | The distance travelled on the segment defined on this line. |
| Segment Duration | The duration of travel on the segment defined on this line. |
| Total Distance | The total distance travelled up to this point. |
| Total Duration | The total duration of travel up to this point. |
| Speed | The speed of travel on the segment defined on this line (missing on the first line). |
| Bearing | The direction that the segment defined on this line travels in degrees (missing on the first line). |
| Highway | The name (or description) of the highway segment (missing on the first line). |
