<![CDATA[Suggestion: Speed limit data for roads]]>Add speed limit data for roads. This is already available and open source from OpenStreetMap data.

It would be really helpful to plot routes avoiding lower and urban speed limits. The create a route function is great and chooses good windy roads however sometimes when you come to ride the route you find those great bends are on low speed limit roads! If we had the speed limit data we could adjust routes accordingly.

ITO World used to provide a speed limit map using OpenStreetMap data before they discontinued it. They confirmed to me they just used open source data to provide the service so hopefully it could easily be incorporated into MRA.

See here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ito_Map and here: https://www.itoworld.com/ito-map-announcement/

For now I use MRA and Waze on split screen, just to see the speed limits (and the police warnings). However, not all phones can do split screen...

I would also like to see the speed limit data introduced. It would help to plan better routes

Would be great for planning

Could it also be an idea to do heavy flashing in red on screen if over speed limit when getting close (e.g. 300m) to camera.
Flashing instead of sound since i'm riding a bike and no earbuds.
If you know the location of the camera. You also know the position and speed of the vehicle.
Sorry to say.. i have too many tickets 😞

Jokes aside, I think this is a good suggestion. I'll add it to the list. Speed limits are already shown in the Navigation app, so perhaps it'll be easy. But, to be entirely in front of conjecture, I'm not a developer so I really wouldn't know.
