# Routino : Output

## 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 "interesting junctions" referred to above are junctions where the route changes to a different type of highway, more than two highways of the same type meet, or where the route meets but does not take a more major highway. When the route follows a major road this definition eliminates all junctions with minor roads.

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 the description of each of the interesting junctions in the route and one line for each of the highways that connect them. The coordinates are also included in the file but are not visible because of the style definitions.

An example HTML file output is below (some parts are missing, for example 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 and a description of the route to take from that point.

An example GPX route file output is below:

### 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, for example for creating other output formats.

An example text file output is below:

    # Creator : Routino - http://www.routino.org/

     51.478244  -0.103651  0.087 km  0.1 min  6.4 km   6 min    Waypt

The text file output contains a header (indicated by the lines starting with '#') and then one line for each waypoint or junction. Each line contains the information for the current node and the next segment to be followed. For each of the lines the individual fields contain the following:

Item | Description
--- | ---
Latitude | Location of the node (degrees)
Longitude | Location of the node (degrees)
Section Distance | The distance travelled on the section of the journey that ends at this node.
Section Duration | The duration of travel on the section of the journey that ends at this node.
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 line since the journey has not started yet and for the last line 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 from this point (missing for the last line 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 from this point (missing on the last line since the journey has finished).

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/

The all nodes text file output contains a header (indicated by the lines starting with '#') and then one line for each node and the segment that was used to reach it. This file therefore contains exactly the same model as is used internally to define a route (a series of results each of which is a node and the segment leading to it). For each of the lines the individual fields contain the following:

Item | Description
--- | ---
Latitude | Location of the node in degrees.
Longitude | Location of the node 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, important junction Junct, unimportant 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).
