Map overlay indicating the road's (known) speed limit?
-
When navigating a route using MRA Navigation Next, the speed limit of the current road/location is displayed.
That got me thinking: is there any way to get an indication of the speed limits when planning a route? Like an overlay with a color gradient indicating if the speed limit at each particular segment is more towards the 30/50 kph end or the 70/90 pkh range?
Could help avoiding slower and/or congested areas when planning a trip.

Most riders/planners would absolutely love this feature!
There's nothing worse than planning a curvy route, only to find when you get there the speed limit is a blanket 50/70 kph. (I'm looking at you, Black Forest B500.)
The same happens across Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, where a lot of roads are limited to 50 mph, but not for safety reasons. Grrr.

Good idea, but if you avoid cities it is no longer so important, at least in Germany if you also avoid the federal road.
Stay on small streets and avoid towns !!

Many mountainesque roads in Germany, France or Belgium show a 90 or 100 kph speedlimit, while you are a daredevil even going 50 on average. So Personally I don't think planning on speed limits adds something significant to the adventure.

But a road that looks like a nice curvy road with a speed limit of 50 versus a similar road with a speed limit of 90/100 (even if you cannot achieve that speed in reality) ... I'd know which of both I would choose

@Kirsten-De-Weerd, I would too, by the use of streetview

But hey, I am not against the idea if it helps some. I am just not one of them.
However I don't think it's an easy task. -

When planning multi-day trips, I don't check every single road using Streetview. Further more, I've come across quite a lot of roads in Germany where there is no Streetview available.
I don't think it's an easy task.
The data is available, so it sounds like a gradient color based on an existing metric. (Spoken like a non developer

Maybe something for the cumming update of the web planner!
