I am sure you have seen the resources that nominatim requires to do this identifying. If I am not mistaken it takes nominatim several weeks to do the indexing on quite a powerful server. So yes it is possible, but for a lot of applications it is not feasible. It is so much of a pain, that MapQuest have just released pre-indexed version of Nominatim as they think people don't have the resources to run their own Nominatim instance due to those indexing requirements. Adding a DE: or GB: in front of the maxspeed word, makes the process close to no more complicated for the mapper and can be huge help to application writers. (Instead of having to do a hugely resource intense spatial lookup, a simple lookup table would suffice) Kai -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Maxspeed-tagging-for-the-UK-tp6245995p6274906.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
