Carbonite travel routing finds a very obscure path to yourself, then points to tar...

Hi,

Attached you will find Carbonite-going-in-circles.png
To create this image, I ctrl+right clicked only once (GoTo command). I targeted the center of a zone I wanted to travel to (Silithus), from Northern Barrens. (Quite a distance to cover on ground, but I did it, corpse running (jumping? hopping?) all the way.)

I feel it is important to note that the travel routing setting is enabled for me, since I'm only level 20 and flying mounts are not readily available for me (yet).

Obviously a few zone-connections are missing from carbonite's database between Northern Barrens and Silithus. But if carbonite can't find a path to the target it should not do what is demonstrated in the attached picture. It suggests I ride (and at one point; fly) around the continent in a big (clockwise) circle, until I reach my point of origin (effectively useless), and then go in a straight line to my destination ignoring everything. The entire "go in a circle" step should be skipped. Displaying "Sorry, Carbonite can't find a travel route to your destination. Here is a straight line instead. Good luck." instead, would be much better.
