Ehrm, eh, yes. Whatever destination I have in mind lately, I always seem
to end up in the baby room. There's no computer there, you know.

Anyway, tested your patch and it shows a huge improvement on a couple of
weird routes I've come across so far. Like this one:
http://www.yournavigation.org/?flat=52.445382&flon=4.80525&tlat=52.404858&tlon=4.922044&v=bicycle&fast=1&layer=mapnik

... where the Nuvi sent me all around on a 30km journey, it now has
quite a decent route, roughly comparable to the yournavigation.org one.

The improvement seems especially visible with the "shortest route"
setting; shortest time seems less affected (but I could be wrong here).
(And I'm testing bicycle routing here, which cannot work correctly by
design as has been pointed out on the list before).

I did not find any broken routes ("failure" as you call it). As your
patch is now in my mkgmap, I will test some more and I shall report any
oddities.

Best regards,
