This is not a bug in Routino.

The route that has been asked for starts in the middle of an area with
no roads and asks for transport by motorcar.  The nearest road is
more than 1 km from the first waypoint and Routino has a limit of 1 km
when searching for the nearest highway.  To find a route a starting
point closer to the nearest accessible highway should be selected.

It could be argued that Routino should search further but in most
cases it does not make sense to choose a starting point that is so far
from the given waypoint.
