I was suggesting that the app should use the GPS, or settings, to get some sensible locaiised values for speed limits values and mph/kph.
There is also a 10 second timeout on the report, I think only on the driving mode, which will possibly encourage the user to just hit send. I have been experimenting a little more since my last post, the value initially presented to the user is the closest increment to the actual speed. Actually if used with care its not a bad feature, I would like this in osmand but then use my OSM account rather than post anonymously. Although the main point of the thread I do still believe. The note should include the name of the app and contact details of the admins for the app, that is only basic good manners and should have been a no brainer for the developers.
