[mkgmap-dev] roadspeed in default style

Fri Mar 13 11:35:31 GMT 2015

Oh - the only thing could be if maxspeed=none is used in places where the
limit is actually lower than 120.. AND if it's a motorway or in some
countries a highway=trunk (cause on no higwhay=primary such a limit would
be in general speaking drivable). So the question is - does this actually
happen in the database? Are there countries where maxspeed=none is entered
for roads where 100 is the real practical limit? In that case of course we
would need a country list to set maxspeed=none to road_speed=6 or 5.
