[mkgmap-dev] Road speed through urban areas

Thu Jul 9 11:16:25 BST 2020

Hi all,

reg. maxspeed:practical  I think we should not use disputed tags in preference to well established tags in the default style.
reg. maxspeed:advisory: I see no problem with that.

What's the purpose of this rule? Is it meant to improve travel time estimation?
highway=motorway & maxspeed!=* & mkgmap:road-speed-max!=* & mkgmap:country!=DEU {set mkgmap:road-speed-max=6}

Hi Greg & Gerd

Yes, this is what I mean, more or less. I don't know what the OSM
tagging policy is on applying maxspeed tags to every road, but mkgmap
applies its own limits based on highway type to everything except
motorway, and this patch now does motorways as well. There are a couple
of other countries that don't have max speed limits on some roads and I
haven't bothered with them explicitly, but if the road is tagged with
maxspeed/:practical/:advisory that is above 120kmh than it won't be
limited.

patch attached.
