[pgrouting-users] Problem with long edges

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. It would probably be better for me to use 
Shooting Star indeed. However in my example, the start and the end are 
on the same segment, but since my segment is really long and is a loop, 
the "real" shortest path would pass through another segment. Is it then 
the right thing to do to split my really long segment in 2?

Best regards,
Julien
