I am using (and modifying) the library ffwdme.js for gps-like navigation and I have an issue where when I go off route and I make a brand new request to go to my end goal, i very often get issues where I am driving in a straight line and the route it gets calculated is basically behind me, as if the heading is not in the equation at all. Obviously this is very bad form a user perspective because I cannot simply “turn around”.
It looks like a different case. And the end point in your recent is on a one way so it cannot arrive from a different side. If you meant you start at this point and use the heading for the other point then this works as you can see for those two requests
The request i posted had different start location. I only copied that request even though it was a different starting point only because the rest is the same. However, you inverted start and end point.
The starting point should have been 55.676194, 12.586909 and end point: 55.682141,12.588745
Regardless of it, I changed the data in your two links and still, the same problem occurs. even though im pointing south and heading south, it just suggests me to “simply” go straight back as if it didn’t know where I was headed.
This is what the street looks like (With a little description): Pic
In a nutshell the problem can be described as that when you route (in my case is a re-route but the fundamental basic request is simply a call to the directions api) from a to b if you are on a straight road and headed towards the opposite destination of your target (for some reason) you will get directions as if you were driving correctly because you are “still” on the right road but it doesn’t know you are on the right lane headed to the opposite side as opposed to the left lane actually going towards the goal.
