Could it be that at resolution 24 we have filters running for smoothing 
lines that cause the problem, or the tweeze arc causing problems with 
low values?

The crazy thing is that if I increase max_arc_length at resolution=24 I 
will even see roads with different shapes/angles at the junction.

The thing is that with more max_arc_length and max_line_length (both set 
to 80.000) even on very short roads routing get better - roads that 
definitely don't have more than 20 points or longer than 200-300m.
This however happens only once the overall length of the route without 
via points gets longer (starting at about 30-40km).

Another thing we could try is to make the tweeze arc filter much more 
radical - maybe this would help in the routing problem. I still cannot 
believe that the max_arc_length itself is responsible for the problems 
on the Nuvi.
