[mkgmap-dev] Road speed through urban areas

Thu Jul 9 21:09:37 BST 2020

Hi Ticker,
the speed used for routing depends also on your device.
For road_speed 7, I detected 112 km/h on an Oregon 600, and 132 km/h on
an Oregon 400.
For more details, see my old post on that topic at
http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2014q3/021620.html

Kind regards,
Bernhard
