[not a bug] Map pathing from Groddle Forest to Ix does not use the Great Hole

If I'm in Doon Way (for instance) and I ask the map to give me a route to anywhere in Ix, it goes by way of Groddle Meadow to West Spice, even though it's much shorter to take the Great Hole.

EDIT: It does this even if I am in the street containing the Great Hole!

  • Paths go through street signs. In this case, there is no street sign, it is a teleport spot, which paths do not go through.

  • Okay, maybe that's as-designed, but I still think it is wrong: given that the game makes a point of pointing out the existence of the great hole, that there's a "To Ix" bubble on the Groddle Forest map, and that you can path back from Ix to Groddle Forest by way of Groddle Ladder, not pathing the other way is surprising.

    I can see why you might want to hide the Wintry Place entrance from map pathing, and other such things, but I think this teleport spot should be included in paths.
