Hi, normal geocoding gives you an address for a coordinate pair.
For applications like "give me the max speed of the road I am on", this is error prone as small GPS inaccuracies could suddenly place you on the motorway lane going in the other direction, or on the forestry track next to the motorway or so. Such applications could benefit from a vectorial analysis - "here are my GPS positions and speeds for the last 10 seconds, which road am I on"? With that and a little map matching magic, it should be possible to achieve much better results. Has anyone already built something like that, potentially using the map matching capabilities offered by OSRM or GraphHopper?
