Hi all, I fear I don't get the point in this discussion. My understanding is that you want a style that sets a lower road class for major roads within a city. Question is in what situation this will lead to better routing. If there is a good alternative route around the city it should already have the higher highway tag in OSM.

[5] I don't see why drawing a line that encloses the area where you think maxspeed:practical is low is any more verifiable. You are tagging about an area where people drive slower than the speed limits, I think. So it's really the same thing. Also, maxspeed:practical is easy to verify. Drive on the road 10 times and see what the average speed you actually went is. I have lots of commuting data and someday, I will process it and see what the distributions look like. If there really are speed limits, then by all means tag them. _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
