Ah.
Not so much a tagging issue .. a 'style' issue.
Is there a gittyhub talk group?

You could take the data and loacly convert the ref value to include th emax speed value ..
 for your example
ref=Ak9
maxspeed=30 (mph .. stored in kmh so you will need a conversion for mph

to
ref=Ak9)(30 mph
mexspeed=30

...
That may then render the way you want it. Bit of a work around, would be easier with direct coding.

Let me put it another way. It seems to me that if one can use a style in such a way to display a road name from the name tag, plus a route number from the ref tag, then it ought to be possible for me to create a style that will show the value of the maxspeed tag. I mean, certain of the style directives (like the ones in my snippet) only create labels that are referenced later when styles are actually being applied to objects during map creation. Instead of seeing "driving on Ak 9 (Main Street)" on my Garmin screen I want to see "driving on Main St (Ak 9)(30 mph)". It should be possible to make a style rule to create that result. I'm just not clever enough to figure out how.

    Dave,
    Garmins mapping has evolved over time. It is not open source nor
    do they release the commands etc that they use.
    So things are reverse engineered to get Garmin maps from various
    sources (including OSM).
    While maxspeed may be important for some .. it may not be high on
    the list of things to do for those doing the reverse engineering.
    So in terms of getting it on your Garmin .. not now. But maybe in
    the future.

    no, I think that should be possible when the way has the maxspeed
    tag.

    I refered to a different feature which shows a road sign with the
    maxspeed value

    and also allows to warn the driver when he is faster.

    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?

        Well,


        the default style rules in mkgmap evaluate maxspeed to
        calculate a so called road speed value which is used

        by the Garmin routing algo.

        But we don't know any way to store the value in the map so
        that it woud show up in the device when you

        pass the node. I know that modern Garmin maps have this
        feature using so called NT maps, I don't know

        any place in the older img format where this information
        could be stored, but maybe we just didn't find

        it yet.

            I posted this on the Garmin OSM forum but nobody
            responded. Maybe someone here can help with this.

            I recently added maxspeed to many highways in my
            neighborhood and am looking for a way to have them
            display on my Garmin Montana. Mostly I would use this
            information while driving here and there to show me roads
            that don't have a maxspeed tag already. I'm looking for a
            style directive that will append maxspeed information to
            the highway-symbol and ref for the standard highway types.


        I'm not currently aware of anything in the OSM to Garmin
        toolchain that is capable of encoding maxspeed as of yet.  As
        far as I'm aware, the only data consumer that is using lane
        or speed data is Osmand at this time.
