Garmin Connect Routing Error

Hello
Can someone fix this problem for me?
See photo attached.

Lords Wood Lane does not appear to be fully connected to the roundabout with Harp Farm Lane, Westfield Sole Road, Boxley Road and A2045.
As a major route in and out of my estate problem causes routing difficulties effectively eliminating the four other routes (and trying to send me round the houses).

I don't know if OSM problem, which i wouldn't know how to fix if so. Roundabout seems ok, connection of road to roundabout causes the strange routes.

Many thanks

You seem to be using the Google map option rather than the OSM map (upper left corner of attached photo). I tried with the OpenStreetMap option and the routing was much better (using bike paths at the roundabout). I don't know why the Google option gives such a strange route. When I try directly on the Google Maps site, I get the strange route with the walking option but a sensible route round the roundabout for the cycling option. Only Garmin or Google could fix this, I think.

Thanks for the feedback. Very interesting results when playing with the different map option.

I raised a ticket with Garmin, who replied it was OSM problem. That doesn't seem to be so but raises doubt where the problem stems from.

Short term solution i start routes from the other side of the roundabout when in that direction!
