Hello,

I am having problems routing from a point in europe any cities in Euro

https://www.mapquestapi.com/directions/v2/route?key=KEY&from=49.409668%2...

This is the webservice I used and from this lat/long point (which is < 75m away from a road), MapQuest would just return a "Unable to calculate route". Several questions:

Is there a way to increase the "buffer zone" of where mapquest looks for a nearest roadway?
Is there another API I could use to calculate the route? On Google maps and Apple maps i see that both have a "walk" line to the nearest road and starts the route from the near route.

Forgot to add that that the lat/long point cannot route to or from any european cities from the mapquest.com website either.

Thanks for posting this. This

Thanks for posting this. This may get addressed with the next European data update. We're hoping to have that sometime in 2019. I know, it's a long way off but that's where it is now.
