Since the roads in Iceland are strange, I debugged some routing
"errors", where I should go a way 1000km longer then the normal way.

The problem is "road_class". It looks like, that at least the
Garmin GPS 62s, at the beginning prefers increasing road_classes,
and later decreasing ones. But in the middle, it is avoiding going up
and down. So if you reach road_class=2, and there is a short cycleway
with road_class=1, and a very long primary road with road_class=3,
Garmin will use the very long primary road. Even if you route for
shortest distance.
I workarounded this by increasing the road_class of cycleways for my
style.
