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

[Dave Swarthout]

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?
