I know about this. There is some distance range form current position, 
where should be a routable road to begin a routing. Maybe the same 
distance limit is in effect for point addressing, but it doesn't explain 
total failure of Gerd's new function in Mapsource. I can only repeat, 
Mapsource doesn't behave that way, see the picture, that I have attached 
some mails ago. This is exactly the same case, a road created between 2 
address points on short non-routable artificial roads. The only 
difference is that map is created with cgpsmapper.

Maybe new code still creates routable ways for address points? It could 
lead to straight routes, if road network is discontinuous.
