Narrative:
Honeywell gdc service is used for generating computerized flight plans under contract with annual fee. This service is usually accurate and reliable. In this case the quick compute flight plan (as well as all other available suggested and other) flight plan routings were the same. ATC advised that our clearance took us right through restricted airspace over yucca mountain. All the routes they offer are going through this area. ATC - ZLA - gave us vectors to remain outside of right airspace and there was no occurrence incident. This report is to advise that the computerized flight plan service; honeywell gdc go direct does not have an accurate airspace model for avoiding restricted airspace in this area and needs to always be supervised and checked.
