Re: [Tagging] How can I display maxspeed on my Garmin?

I understand that. I'm not asking for reverse engineering, only for a way to write a style rule that appends the maxspeed tag value to the output string that ends up being the name Garmin shows on the unit. Let me put it another way. It seems to me that if one can use a style in such a way to

Re: [Tagging] How can I display maxspeed on my Garmin?

Dave, Garmins mapping has evolved over time. It is not open source nor do they release the commands etc that they use. So things are reverse engineered to get Garmin maps from various sources (including OSM). While maxspeed may be important for some .. it may not be high on the list of things

Re: [Tagging] How can I display maxspeed on my Garmin?

Hi Dave, "there's no known way to simply append that tag to a label or highway name. Correct?" no, I think that should be possible when the way has the maxspeed tag. I refered to a different feature which shows a road sign with the maxspeed value and also allows to warn the driver when he is

Re: [Tagging] How can I display maxspeed on my Garmin?

Thanks for the responses. I assumed because we can append ref tags to a highway name one could just do the same for maxspeed. It's just another tag after all. Obviously, there is a lot of interplay between mkgmap and the Garmin internals that I don't understand. Gerd, what you're saying is that

Re: [Tagging] reviving an abandoned proposal

I messed up: I thought I checked all the variants mentioned in the article, but I missed the main proposal somehow. As it's used already a couple of 100 times, I'll just adapt the article as you suggest, to reflect the in-use character. 2016-07-21 13:00 GMT+02:00 Martin Koppenhoefer

Re: [Tagging] How to tag: public lands that are accessed by permit?

In my view access=permit seems like they way to go. Having access=private with permit=something adds to the complexity without adding value. Keep it simple. On 19/07/16 at 09:54pm, Colin Smale wrote: > The situation in the UK is that you basically have an inalienable legal > right to pass over

Re: [Tagging] reviving an abandoned proposal

I'd say it depends on the depth of the decision process so far. If it was a failed proposal with a voting, I'd start from scratch, avoiding the problems of the previous. There are a number of "2.0" approaches. In the case you cite, the page was last touched by the authors in 2010, and there

Re: [Tagging] How can I display maxspeed on my Garmin?

Well, the default style rules in mkgmap evaluate maxspeed to calculate a so called road speed value which is used by the Garmin routing algo. But we don't know any way to store the value in the map so that it woud show up in the device when you pass the node. I know that modern Garmin maps

Re: [Tagging] How can I display maxspeed on my Garmin?

If you only want to use it when driving a car, why not consider a cheap Garmin car navigation device. The Lambertus maps on nuvi 55 show maxspeed, as far as I recollect. ___ Tagging mailing list
