This one was correct last Friday.

By the way, I seem to be getting different bicycle directions now,
perhaps due to the recent MAX_ARC_LENGTH and related changes.  When
I am riding between Koivukylä (train station) and Rekola (train station),
the Edge 705 now tells me to use the cycleways along Rekolantie and
Peijaksentie.  The former would be
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/34512525.
Previously, it directed me to the old highway
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/35878229 that was converted
to a cycleway some decades ago, and told me to follow the cycleways
and paths from there.  Not a big change, but the new directions involve
much fewer turns and crossings.

Best regards,
