The problem isn't the water. GDirections will automatically snap to the 
nearest known road, as long as that's within 5 kilometres.

The problem is that the nearest road, Australia Way, isn't connected to 
the main US road network. It only connects to Port Blvd, effectively 
making those two roads an island.

GDirections can find routes from your point to other locations in that 
island. For example:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=25.76805,-80.146165&dadd
r=25.7666666,-80.166666&btnG=Get+Directions

This sort of problem is extremely unusual.

(I remember an example of a car park from quite a while ago where some, 
but not all, of the one-way roads inside the car park were in the 
GDirections database, and this allowed GDirections to let you drive into 
the car park, but would never let you drive out again.)

I really don't think that there's anything you can do programmatically 
to handle such situations.
