Hi Mark,
It occurs to me that some people will want the maxspeed tag to
override
the speed code in the rules file (obviously, the person who wrote that
code thought it was a good idea) but others, like Marco, would prefer
not to have that feature. So, I guess, we need (yet another) option to
control this behaviour. I attach a patch that does, essentially, the
same thing as your patch with the addition that you can switch that
behaviour on and off.
Thank you for that patch.
The patch I posted was intended to be applied locally if one wanted to
remove that behaviour. With the state of mkgmap right now I think it
is reasonable to hardcode such things as the maxspeed, because
otherwise the style files will get overly complex and with the current
syntax of the style files a lot of things can not be encoded at all
(for example motorway exits, roundabouts etc.) For special "map-
tuning" one will have to modify the mkgmap source. Which is probably
even easier than coming up with highly complex style files to
accomplish the same thing. So if you like to integrate the switch for
the maxspeed handling into the trunk I will be happy, but I also
understand that you might not want mkgmap to be cluttered with lots of
"special options".
Regards
Thilo
