4th & King seems to work fine, now. If you run into similar problems, usually you can just drag the marker a little bit and it’ll work. This happens sometimes when the marker snaps to a road that is somehow “cut off” from your destination because of one-ways, private roads, etc.

I would just add a sort of default note that you should always have a backup using either the 'walking' directions or the 'driving — off major highways' directions. Some of their bicycling directions are just wrong (they have a path on the west side of of the Guadalupe River under 101, for example; already sent to Google) and others have exceptions (Guadalupe and San Tomas Aquino paths being closed after rainstorms, for example).

Now if only they could do bike+transit directions…
