If, for some foolish reason, one is not using autopilot this creates a completely unhelpful impression which one might term a "bum steer".
It happens often enough in many different systems that I now know I cannot trust guidance around a highway and have to pause and check the map. However if I go back and do it again it does not replicate and seem to be something to do with loading from low attention suddenly and the guidance is a bit askew momentarily and picks the wrong gate.
I would count this as a non functional interface glitch and suggest that...
- the guidance target gate itself should always be fully highlighted with a guidance marker for people avoiding highways for whatever reason and a smaller intercept marker be shown on the highway
- and the opposite gate on the highway must never be highlighted even if it is contiguous with the end of the highway nearest to the player
- and instead the guidance should show the smaller projected intercept marker for the highway one step beyond that location, for those wishing to to use the highway
