Hi Ian, You can copy+paste the URL when you’re looking at the section in question on openstreetmap.org.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=menang%20drive#map=18/-34.96511/117.82114&layers=D I’ve turned the data layer on so you can just click on the nodes and ways to see their details, and then you can copy that URL to reference it: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/853070680 So on to the question, I suspect it’s a router issue, but quite possibly something to do with Menang Drive having tagging with bicycle=yes cycleway:left=yes etc, but the Albany Highway ways not having anything of the sort, not even lane quantity. Probably not relevant, but that greater intersection looks like it’s been mapped with a variety of aerial sources but without imagery offsets being taken into account. The Maxar layer looks like the most recent, and once I aligned that best I could (5.24, -9.89), there are still a number of roads that are well off the imagery. And the little bike diversions for merging across aren’t mapped… but good riddance, they’re definitely designed by someone who thinks that it’s fine for cyclists on major highways who could be doing 35 km/h to slam on the brakes to take a 90º turn to cross a lane… ugh.

I have looked at the OSM data through JOSM and it all looks good. I wondered if anyone else can see what might be causing the strange routing instructions. The explanation really needs pictures, so I’ve put them in Dropbox: Screenshot 1 shows the first OSM way of the section in question (highlighted in red) plus some annotations about the points where the GPS has instructions for the two misleading manoeuvres: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mk7pmpucvp9y5q6/screenshot%201.jpg?dl=0 Screenshot 2 just shows the other OSM way that covers the section in question: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wpfaip74htzbnyw/screenshot%202.JPG?dl=0 Screenshot 3 shows the routing instructions on the GPS: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4hy8r91c5syvq4d/screenshot%203.JPG?dl=0 I don’t know how to give OSM way references, but the intersection is at S34.9647 and E117.8205 (Menang Drive and Albany Highway) Has anyone got any clues why the GPS would be doing what it is doing ?
