The most practical use of maxspeed on maps is to estimate the "travel time" of a particular route in a gps map of a navigational device, rather than just warn you if you are above the speed limit.
It's always better to use the conservative value (lower speed limit) to estimate your travel time (so that the gps device can calculate and show you that fastest route without breaking the max speed) On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 10:09 PM, John Wesley Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Howdy, > > I'm trying to use maxspeed to put in speed limits for roads in my local > area. > > One of the roads has a speed limit of 55mph if you are northbound, but > 50mph if you are southbound. > > Another road has a speed limit of 70mph in the daytime, but 65mph at > nighttime. > > How should these be entered? > > Is there a web-page that specifically explains how to enter these > situations into the editor? > > -- > John Wesley Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > SwaJime's Cove > > > > _______________________________________________ > newbies mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies >
