[pgrouting-users] Problem with long edges

[Daniel Kastl]

Hi Julien,

It is Shooting Star, that takes line segments as start and end point.
Dijkstra and A* route from vertex to vertex.
Indeed your example might lead to the wrong result, if two line segments
have the same start and end point. You could split one of them into two
segments, but Shooting Star would be the easier solution.

Btw., if you have really long loops like the one of your screenshot, you
need to take care not to make the bounding box too small, when you select
just a part of your network.

Daniel
