You can try it yourself, try to go from se7et antelias to West Bekaa country club for example. You don't have to really drive just simulate it and the GPS give you about 30 minutes routing, not being able to go to the real road because the road indicated in Fuschia is a straight line through many roads.

u have an old map... the latest version fixed allot of bugs including the one u mentioned and other road direction changes and POI correcitons

it will take you first all along the coastal highway along a straight line going through the real streets and then when you start climbing the mountain it goes straight ignoring roads and it also calculates a total of 33 minutes which is completely bezerk, then if you let the GPS simulate the driving the car can't find its way to the road traced because the trace is outside the road.

does this happen in the 2008 map?
