I am not sure which of todays changes is responsible, but routing in 
Mapsource became a lot worse! Often I get routes 10-30% longer or on 
less priorised ways than before, this is a drastic example but happens 
on every 10 route:

Yellow route is old SVN 1773, pink is newest SVN version (yellow is 
17.8km and 33 minutes, pink is 26.5km and 56 minutes):
