Re: [Talk-GB] maxspeed field - what units should we use. etc
2009/6/4 WessexMario > I propose that we adopt a new key: maxspeed_mph > If we have maxspeed_mph, I would be far happier seeing. maxspeed:mph maxspeed:km/h I don't like the idea of maxspeed and maxspeed_mph, we'll almost certainly find things defaulting to maxspeed, when it should be maxspeed_mph. I think having those two options makes more sense than having maxspeed defaulting to km/h unless mph (or some thing similar) is entered. Then in things like Josm, it can have two options for entering the speed, or a radio button or or or. As soon as the tag is explicitly one thing or another, the user will no longer be inclined to convert from one thing or another. The only down side I see, is that all of the applications that currently work with maxspeed, would need to be updated. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Re: [Talk-GB] Sat Navs to stop working?
My father phoned me last night to discuss it. I've not listened to the show, however my understanding is that, they satellites are gradually reducing in orbit and as such will eventually drop on our heads, as opposed to letting us know where we are. Apparently the US Military have not spent any money putting new ones up, hence the problem. Some how though, I really do doubt that it would all just stop working, the US I would have thought would need to have their own system, and I doubt they would like loosing all the money that the GPS system brings in. 2009/5/21 Russ Phillips > Yesterday, on Radio 2's drive time show, someone mentioned that sat > navs would stop working next year.
