I made it work with the polyline made from the waypoints. Which goes off the road in some places, but doesn't go off on wild tangents.
I was thinking if I got both polylines (one from directions & one contructed just from waypoints) and then compared the distance of segments between waypoints I might be able to choose the best segment for each pair of waypoints and construct a 3rd polyline that is the best of both worlds. Of coarse that goes beyond my current understanding of polylines.
