Rebuild in progress

Generated loop downloads are being rebuilt

See the replacement plan →
The existing route ideas remain available; only the old generated files are withheld.

The archived BRouter files contain elevation values from a layer that is not cleared for commercial publication. The repair is to preserve the OSM-routed geometry, replace every elevation sample with NASADEM data, recalculate ascent and timing, and publish only after automated provenance and regression checks pass.

How this is gated →
No representative weather station

the closest station within 60 km still sits 842 m from the base altitude. Rather than borrow a distant or wrong-altitude station and present it as this destination's climate, nothing is shown. The planner's usual riding window (Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep) is a seasonal guide only.
