John, thanks for flagging this. We are working on a better/automatic solution right now. In the mean-time you can avoid so-called ‚small‘ components of the road network by adding a low zoom level to the query, e.g. &z=12. With this setting, it will ignore unconnected portions of the road network. Or add a high zoom level, e.g. &z14 to chose the nearest piece of road ignoring if it is connected or not.
The nearest call is pretty much unrelated to routing and not necessary at all when requesting a route, although it respects the zoom level parameter as well. —Dennis Am 18.06.2014 um 13:20 schrieb John Aherne <[email protected]>: > We are finding quite a few places where we cannot route from or to. > > When we try the nearest option to get the nearest node on a street, we still > get a latitude/longitude that will not route. > > It seems that we have to try widening the circle until we find a point that > we can route with. > > What we are wondering is whether we have missed something obvious to solve > this problem.
