Wrong Turn Directions

Postby jasonh300 » Sat Aug 11, 2012 8:17 pm

I've looked at it along with another of the veteran editors and we'll get back to you. I think we're going to leave it and let the developers take a look at it. I know how to fix it but we want to find out what the root of the problem is first.

Can't we just tear the junctions apart, reset directionality and see what happens after the next map update? There could be some corruption here.

I looked at the data structure and thought that something looked wrong, but after some more research, it doesn't look like a problem. Both the segments and junctions look to contain the correct data. The segments are each related to a street and I cannot see any problems with the streets.

Well the interesting fact to me is that you are turning onto an unknown direction street and seems the nav instructions are leaving out the name of that unknown direction street.

If that's what the reason is, then we should just change the directionality and see what happens when that edit is picked up by the update cycle.

I'm certain that that would fix it, but I wonder if we should send it to support and let them figure out why this sort of thing happens.

I guess I am not against that. Even if a change were made today, it wouldn't likely go live for 30-40 days.

The livemap, FYI, shows the left turn onto Stratford, as a Continue, which is why the client never shows it. It gives, as we would expect for a "continue," the next actual turn, which is a left. It's the inheritance property. But why it doesn't see Stratford as a turn is the real question, I suppose. There are no geometry nodes too close that I can see either.

(It's worse coming the other direction (heading east) as it will give a "turn left to Dundee Ct" where Dundee Ct is actually to the right. The inheritance thing again...)

Last edit for this post: Cartouche shows full connectivity at this junction, as if someone allowed all connections in WME at some point, prior to the fix for 'w.'
