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 to do for those doing the reverse engineering. So in terms of getting it on your Garmin .. not now. But maybe in the future.

Hi Dave,

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 faster.

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 there's no known way to simply append that tag to a label or highway name. Correct?

    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 have this feature
    using so called NT maps, I don't know

    any place in the older img format where this information could be
    stored, but maybe we just didn't find

    it yet.

        I posted this on the Garmin OSM forum but nobody responded.
        Maybe someone here can help with this.

        I recently added maxspeed to many highways in my neighborhood
        and am looking for a way to have them display on my Garmin
        Montana. Mostly I would use this information while driving
        here and there to show me roads that don't have a maxspeed tag
        already. I'm looking for a style directive that will append
        maxspeed information to the highway-symbol and ref for the
        standard highway types.


    I'm not currently aware of anything in the OSM to Garmin toolchain
    that is capable of encoding maxspeed as of yet. As far as I'm
    aware, the only data consumer that is using lane or speed data is
    Osmand at this time.
