Speed limit warning / max. speed

Hi Daniel,

I changed your topic to idea (so people may vote for this) because this is not currently implemented in Locus

Something similar to Ulysse Speedometer Pro app would be nice

This idea was first shared by Daniel 2 years ago,

wondering if there has been any progress?

Currently no change in this feature. We hope that offline routing based on GrapHopper library will allow get real speed limits for road where you just move.

So this idea is not forgotten, just isn't right time for implement yet.

BTW: How far is the GraphHopper from stable version (= ready for use by Locus)?

Hello this function would be great: i would do not need any garmin gps anymore in my car !

Without knowing too much about the technical background:

OSM is managing the speed limits ( maxspeed=* tag) see wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Speed_limits

as i can see on ito, the referencing on the map is not bad: http://www.itoworld.com/map/124

=> so the big advantage is you have the date offline and even do not need any navigation to be warned about car over speed.

Hi, I see the thread is old, but the idea is great. Any chances to use osm data or maybe a plugin interface to have speed limit information?

Looks to me an awesome idea- I travel a lot ti foreign countries and it's not always easy to keep track of the local speed limits, which frequently varies. So having a reminder on screen is really an excellent feature.

I found this tread searching for "locus layer speed limit".

Disappointing that it seems abandoned, since it seems very useful to me. Could be used in navigation e.g.

I know the app "Velociraptor" but this is still very basic and I would prefer to have it integrated in Locus.

On the OSM Help Site I found:

How can i see the speed limit of a street?

And there I found the OpenStreet Browser Map with MaxSpeed

I guess this could be added as Layer in Locus, but I don't know how :(

No solution here for Locus?

Thanks, frank

Agree, should be part of navigation.

I use a very nice app that does speed limits offline. Check it out: TempoMaster

Soweit ich weiss nur indirekt. Die Daten sind zwar in OSM maps aber Locus zeigt die nicht. Ich nutze die Android App Velociraptor. Mittels ein Overlay zeigt die ziemlich genaue Höchstgeschwindigkeiten (bei mir in Kombination mit Google Maps).

Aren't the speed limits not implemented yet?

Not integrated as far as I know. But you don't need them in Locus either. There are external applications that do this.

Try Velociraptor for Android

If the speed limit could be shown in the dash board it would be great.

Best regards Norbert

I'm sad that showing speed limits this is not implemented yet. Perhaps driving navigation like in OsmAnd is not a priority for the developers? More of a cycling and hiking app?

I've been using Locus for many years and I so very much want it to be my 'do it all' navigation app. But for on-road navigation OsmAnd seems to be a better solution.... currently.

It is perfectly OK when different applications are better than others in different things. Trying to be better in all things is the sure way to hell.

Although all said before is true, and there is no such thing as Perfect, as that concept is completely dependent on individual needs and wishes, I would like to give this original post a thumbs up.

At this moment my preferred map-application is Locus Maps, which has, in my opinion, a clear and mostly intuitive interface. One of the things I like most is the fact that there are quite some options to modify the user interface.

However, for car navigation I'm bound to use Osmand (need offline navication) as it can show local speed limits on the screen while navigating. This also means that I need to download all maps twice, both for Osmand and for Locus Maps (have not discovered how to share the maps between the applications).

As it seems to be a quite minor update in the design of the app I'd again would like to bring this up as a suggestion.
