This is only possible if google can collect traffic data. I don't know if such exist in the Philippines. This topic was also discussed in brief during the garmin hackday. At the moment, we don't use any the max_speed tag in the Garmin map for the simple reason that we have very little data. Moreover, max_speed doesn't tell you the actual speed conditions. -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
