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?
