Hi,
I have found already three routes where navigation gives me very long route instead of direct one and only common thing is that in all cases routing avoids street intersection with parking lot road. Is this something intentional. I hope not.
For instance look at
http://world.waze.com/cartouche/?zoom=4 ... FFFFFFTTTTThere is small one way parking road loop and if you select street between it you can see that everyting is well connected:

When asking direction from server from one side of parking lot road to another side, you get such route:

I can easily show more examples but this one should be already very clear. There are no problems with segment direction, allowed turns or recorded speeds. It is clearly visible that route from Waze is absolutely wrong one.
I found this issue because I always use navigation with shortest route option when driving any other roads than my daily one and only after I know that shortest is ok (all junctions and turns and everythig fixed), then I switch to fastest route (there is no enough speed data available anyway at the beginning).
Basically all gas stations are connected with streets using parking lot roads and there are others. Also small roads between flats which are not allowed to pass but can be used to reach these locations are also marked ad parking lot roads right now. Is it a wrong type of road?
Any ideas? I have also sent one similar issue to Waze email but then I didn't understand it. I haven't got any answer but now I found this common thing and maybe somebody else has the same problems
