Hi @Rand_Hazem,

> 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.

Still no way around code digging.
