[OSM-talk] Crazy routing in OpenRouteService

[Steve Hill]

A recent purchase of an Android phone has lead me to play with AndNav2 and 
OpenRouteService.  However, in some cases I get some unexpectedly crazy 
routes.

OpenRouteService doesn't seem to understand the highway=road tag.  So 
presumably if your destination is on a highway=road, it should be 
projected onto another nearest road.  However, plotting a route from 
Swansea to -4.119322,53.145316 (North Wales) ends up routing via Calais, 
Rotterdam, way out into the North Sea and then directly to the 
destination.  Moving the destination slightly closer to another road 
causes sanity to be resumed.
