Rally is saying is more than correct for the current level of navigators. But
thinking to an innovative navigator, the John's information looks very
interesting.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=484533411-07122008><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Exact
time travel could be estimated using the correct speed limit available at the
road's usage time. But we could also think to something for evoluted: the
variation of the speed could be not only function of the time, but also of the
assesed traffic ondition (statistically or real time
assessed).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=484533411-07122008><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>I
think that having tags supporting the John's data, could add an interesting
support to very advanced applications.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

recent contibutor to the OSM project, and I would like to use this thread to
learn a bit more on the common idea to be used to add tags (and to propose
new ones..) to the ways.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=484533411-07122008><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>From
other threads I understood (please, correct me), that we do not map for the
application and its capabilities (render, navigator, etc..) but more
for the completeness of the informations that, indeed, coudl drive any kind
of application.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=484533411-07122008><FONT color=#0000ff size=2

exists because there are applications that use them, and applications could
exploit new features only if the map data are adequately
detailed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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. <BR><BR>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)<BR><BR>
