[pgrouting-users] pgrouting serverscript produces multiple ways but many wrong.

[Yaron Lev]

This is my best guess to whats happening in your app. (no guarantee)

you are taking the response from pgrouting, but not editing it.

the response from the pg-routing algo (the sql query), will have edge_id,
then you take those and join them with the original table, to produce geom
for each edge.

the problem is that many edges contains info about a two way. thus those
edges can be viewed like they are in the table i.e (X1,X2...Xn), which is
whats happening in your case,

and if we want the other way (Xn,Xn-1...x1), we need to flip it, (reverse
the order)

when you ask for a route, the return edges geom might be reversed to what
you need in your route. thus you need to flip some of them (where you were
ment to travel in the opposite way of the way geom), if the order of the
points is important.

i am going to assume that when you plot the route, you are using one big
line string to describe the route, this means the order of the point is
important (because right now some of them are reversed, if you would draw a
line between each of them, you will get your picture)

you fix by checking the first edge, and deciding if its correct, from there
just match it to the previous (by comparing source ,target,x1,y1,x2,y2),
or drawing each edge by itself with a loop.

hope it helps.
