Hi list, A routing oddity on Mapsource and my Garmin Nuvi: http://osm.org/go/0E6U9XKEb-?layers=0B00FTF When I'm driving on the A1 highway, it always sends me down the motorway_link, then up on the motorway_llink again. Could this be because the bridge over the Weteringweg makes the A1 consist of 3 parts, while driving over the motorway_llink has only 2 (or maybe they're connected in mkgmap, so it's only 1 part?) I'm just guessing wildly here; the routing oddity is always there though, so you might want to take a brief look. Best regards, Valentijn

Hi Valentijn,
A routing oddity on Mapsource and my Garmin Nuvi: http://osm.org/go/0E6U9XKEb-?layers=0B00FTF

Yes, weird. I reduced the road_speed for the motorway_link lines to be 2 less than the motorway lines and it now avoids the ramps. YMMV. Cheers, Mark

Well that's what my published patch is supposed to do, keep you on some roads if there are too sharp turns. What is sharp is determined by the road_speed. BTW here is an improved patch, that does not show strange route descriptions (but then routing on v2 worked slightly faster, but I have no problems routing anywhere in Europe on my etrex). ( I also decreased motorway exits resolution, having them at 16 is really making map rendering impossibly slow). There is only one drawback. If used together with shorter distance, then arrival times are way off (to slow), on the other hand without this patch routing shorter distance did not provide any decent routes anyhow.
