Waypoints on specific street being ignored

[Ries]

Hello!

I have problems with waypoints on the street at 53.699716, 10.748183:

I have a list of waypoints. The first two are positioned on this street, however during routing the second waypoint is being ignored. (Waypoints: {53.69982,10.74839}, {53.69976,10.74798}, {53.69802,10.74977},...)

When I try the "Waypoint Routing" sample (PTV xServer internet Code Sample Browser) I am unable to put any waypoints on this street.

Best regards,
Tobias Ries

Hello Tobias,

I don't see a reason why this coordinate should fail.

LINESTRING(10.74839 53.69982,10.74798 53.69976,10.74977 53.69802)

What do you mean by "I am unable to put any waypoints on this street"? What happens instead?
Can you provide XML requests dealing with this?

Best regards,
Bernd

Hello Bernd,

"I am unable to put any waypoints on this street" concerns the sample "Waypoint Routing" at http://xserver.ptvgroup.com/en-uk/cookb ... e-browser/ :
If I click on the street at 53.699716, 10.748183, the waypoint is created on the neighboring street (B208, Bahnhofsallee).

I'm using C# and calling calculateRoute on xRoute with a WaypointDesc-Array containing the three geocoordinates.
The Soap-Envelope for the routing request looks as follows:

From my understanding you should look at the linking types.

Orange = AUTO_LINKING,
Blue = NEXT_NODE

The sample request uses NEXT_NODE and the NEXT_NODE is located on the national road B208.

I assume the AUTO_LINKING provides the result you want: your input coordinates are matched via the orange line.
Right?

Best regards,
Bernd

Thanks, you are absolutely right!
Setting linktype to AUTO_LINKING worked like a charm.

Tobias
