Given your going to have to pre-process the data before you can do stuff with it anyway All of the above are fine, with a preference for specifying the units, but figuring out if a road is in a region that uses km/h or miles/h is hardly rocket science! Using km/h in the UK make no sense what so ever. -- Chris Jones, SUCS Admin http://sucs.org _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
