Routing Between GPS coordinates
The GPS coordinate look-up in map.project-osrm.de is producing results that may deviate far from the entered GPS coordinates.
When entering the coordinates 34.129382,-118.141254 and 34.124382,-118.141254 into the textfields, the route starts more than a block from the entered coordinate. (see).
The correct route should be like this.
So If I enter the GPS coordinates by hand into the URL, the results are just as expected. Entering them in src/dst fields, the deviation at the source is more than a block.
@amyleew could you take a look at this?

I think what is happening here is that the coordinate is first send to Nominatim who snapps it to the nearest address. However it should be the other way around:
Coordinate -> OSRM -> Snapped coordinate -> Nominatim
