Download Routing Segments

Routing data files are organised as 5*5 degree files, with the filename containing the south-west corner of the square, which means:

  • You want to route near West48/North37 -> you need W50_N35.rd5
  • You want to route near East7/North47 -> you need E5_N45.rd5

These data files, called segments across BRouter, are generated from OpenStreetMap data and stored in a custom binary format (rd5) for improved efficiency of BRouter routing.

Download them from brouter.de

Segments files from the whole planet are generated weekly at https://brouter.de/brouter/segments4/.

You can download one or more segments files, covering the area of the planet your want to route, into the segments4 directory.
