Strange routing?

[anthyz]

Fyi in case others are seeing this in other areas. There seems to have been a burst in routing by Waze in the San Diego area today where the route inexplicably deviates from a street in order to bypass one or two segments. I experienced it myself personally, and others in the area are submitting URs showing the same issue. I've reported the issue to nanoRep.

I have seen about 4 of them also. I then rebuild each node that the route deviated from.

Any strange routing in last 2 days? In Latvia Waze somehow now tries to route through some unexpected angles and internal streets. Moving away from chosen routes to usual routes and recalculating removes 3-5 minutes from ETA (on 25-30min routes).
In settings I have Fastest route and avoid dirt roads.

Yeah, there's an issue on the world server right now.

Hmm.. any other topic I missed?

No, not really. But they are working on it (at least, that's what they are telling us ).

I received a response that they are aware of the problem and working on a fix.

It's not just the world server. I have the same problem in the USA. I thought it was just being too sensitive to historic speed data because most of the re-routes are at locations known for occasional bad backups, but the re-routes occurred during times of minimal traffic. Some of the re-routes tried to take me several miles out of the way.

It's good to hear there is a fix on the way.

Just curious, but is routing done by the client or on the server? I just now downloaded the newest Beta version... will this affect routing?

ACtually the problem was already gone.. Maybe you have something else.

Actually, it's been a little while since I noticed it, so maybe it's been fixed. I AM having a problem with routing when adding a stop that's a considerable distance from the original route, but that issue is being discussed HERE.
