It only appears in the API response, which does not get shown in the UI.

I tried this just now and get this response from the API:

Position 'Start' not possible (no street in 300.0 meter).
Please Check your Position: -110.746994 43.473103 !

When I tried your search on the openrouteservice.org website I get this:

Message: Position 'Start' not possible (no street in 300.0 meter).
Please Check your Position: -110.7021439 43.452132 !
Notice: the Route Service is at this time only for Europe!

So at this point I think:

FoxtrotGPS is working as before for openrouteservice.org.

The openrouteservice.org folks need to improve their API to search for
further away roads/tracks etc, probably 2km would be good.

The openrouteservice.org folks need to add support for roads worldwide.

FoxtrotGPS could probably provide a hint about zooming in.

FoxtrotGPS could probably provide hints about openrouteservice.org.

FoxtrotGPS could probably provide errors from the API in the UI.

I personally don't intend to work on these issues, help welcome though.
