[mkgmap-dev] Possible maxspeed patch

Wed Aug 26 21:24:10 BST 2009

Hello,

as I said some months ago, deciding the right speed to set in the garmin map for each way shoud be a new mkgmap function.

The function should take into consideration:

the assigned OSM highway tag
the assigned OSM maxspeed
the number of crosses per km (maybe the number of routing nodes / lenght)
the number of traffic_lights per km
the curves ((for each node, add the angle) / lenght))
....

All these info shoud be properly combined to tell how fast a vehicle can run on that road. We should experiment a lot...

But maybe this is too far away ;-)

Ciao, Marco.
