Hi Chris

Think about a POI you want to route to. The road passing this POI has a
barrier in front of the POI and with old implementation the passing road
will be avoided for eg. 100m Maybe there is another road passing the
other POI-side (without entrance), which passes the POI in 80m. So
Garmin will route you to a point of the useless side of the POI, just
because it's closer.
With new implementation you will be routed to the passing road and
routing will stop at the barrier.
