Hi,

easy, just specify `instructions=false` and `geometry=false`:

[https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/api-docs/v2/directions/{profile}/geojson/post](https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/api-docs/v2/directions/%7Bprofile%7D/geojson/post)

Other than that, there is no tutorial on creating your own profiles. You’ll need to dig into the code yourself. But the existing profile implementations should give you a very good idea of what’s necessary.
