Hiking-Poutnik profile template

• This is a development version of Hiking profile template, that may be a head of the released Hiking profiles. You can find its obsolete version in Brouter-web as Hiking-beta profile ( but not in Brouter application ).

• You can derive respective development versions of the profiles from this latest Template file by 2 ways.

  • 1/ Use modification table below to derive the profile from the current template code. While saving, do not forget the .brf extension.
  • 2/ Use this Windows batchfile sedbatch.bat.
    • Check its prerequisities inside the batch code ( presence and provided location of sed.exe, wget.exe and (optionally) 7z.exe utilities.
    • Run the batch with "foot" parameter as "sedbatch foot" from the Windows command line.

• The template uses difficulty rating SAC T scale for hiking. In case of missing SAC rating, but MTB scale rating is available, it estimates SAC scale from MTB scale.
