[mkgmap-dev] roadspeed in default style

Fri Mar 13 11:31:39 GMT 2015

It does not matter whether it's unlimited, 200, 140 or 130... It all
translates to road-speed=7 which is the highest level that we can give
(which in itself is something like 115-130 depending on your GPS
device/Basecamp/Mapsource). There is no real unlimited maxspeed in garmin
maps (except for the new map format - which mkgmap cannot write anyhow).
