I spent a lot of time working with improving route calculations.
In version 2 I would say that finding a route was failing about 30-40 % of
the time but with version 3 I would say that's down to about 1% now. The
reason why the 1% is probably one of four reasons. One, there is no way to
get to that street from where you currently are (i.e. on an island with no
bridge to get you there.) Two, the road is not navigable according to the
map data. Three, your origin or destination is on a highway and you are
trying to create a pedestrian route, or the only way to get to your
destination is via a highway and you are trying to create a pedestrian
route. Finally there is a bug in the software which I have yet to find.
I also hope Mary that the improved route finding of version 3.0 will fix
your problems.
