Don't know if glamo will help here at some stage.. > Risto H.

I was traveling somewhere and it only routed to the next crossroads, not further. I had set the destination as bookmark and selected it there. And the roads are ok, it should've been able to find a route there anyway (I think I had a look at the route with some other www-router using OSM and they worked) > Risto H.

One of the problems is that navit searches for streets not based on community borders but closest city center / something. This causes for example a big part of Northern Helsinki (in Finland) to look like it'd be at Vantaa, when searching for street names (that worked at some stage, now that you mention it..) - I guess it's the same problem as with this: "Unfortunately using the country border for detecting the membership of a town also isn't an option, because the boundaries are usually not closed or wrong" (and btw, there are places in Finland like 'Ii' - the name has only 2 letters -> not possible to search..) Wish Navit got more developers lured in.. http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/01/building-community-around-your-foss.html > Risto H.
