> I haven't tested fully but it seems to improve time calculation.I have tested it. There seems to be two major problems with that. First of all, it lowers the speed of the segment that has the poi. Lenght of that segment is sometimes just a few meters, sometimes a long road. So, it is more or less based on luck, whether the calculation of time is better or not. In any case, the time calculated should be longer. Matters could be improved by for example making an automatic split for a road if the segment containing speed-lowering poi gets too long. Another problem is with Garmin routing. I'd be more interested in avoiding the low-speed points. However, Garmin does not use road speed too intelligently. Instead it seems to calculate the route based on road_class mostly. -- Harri _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
