Routing curiosity

Reinhard Mehner shared this problem 9 years ago
Not a Problem

I have found a routing curiosity using MapQuest as source for the routing calculation as follows:

Cycling on a

highway=track

name=Römerweg

surface=concrete

tracktype=grade1

coming from the north there is suddenly a turn to right (west) to a

highway=path

surface=grass

trail_visibility=intermediate

width=1

which is followed by a track

access=forestry

highway=track

surface=grass

tracktype=grade3

width=2

and another track

highway=track

name=Dreimarksteinweg

tracktype=grade3

to reach the Römerweg again, instead simply following the first track (Römerweg) towards the endpoint.

I cannot image any reason why this happens.

BRouter presents the correct route omitting the detour in this case!

Does anybody understand, what happens here?

Answers appreciated.

Reinhard

Good day Reinhard,


I'm not sure I may do something here. Seems to be a problem in routing algorithm of MapQuest and not directly in Locus. I suggest to test it directly on their web site here: http://www.mapquest.com/
