Hi Mark,

Just a small question. If I add to a poi { add road_speed_min='-1'; add 
road_speed_min='1' } what happens if the original road had road_speed=0 
will it be increased or stay at 0?
(I assume and hope for the latter).

BTW I just updated Gpsmapedit and noticed that it has really really 
really good autorouting with the test "routing graph" function in its 
newest version. I managed to route 800km while Mapsource rarely does 
better than 100km. I contacted Konstantin to ask whether he will add a 
proper export function of the route. At least for my maps the routing 
with mapedit is really fantastic. Also it can now show the road_class 
and road_speed for any road correctly (did not do so in 1.0.56.2 that I 
used previously).
