Hi Marco, the relationship between the maxspeed tag and the road_speed is hardcoded in mkgmap. This is reasonable in general, because otherwise the style files had to be much larger to cover all the possible road_speeds per road. But if you want to use the road_speed in a creative way (say for a cycle map) this gets in the way. The evaluation of the maxspeed tag is implemented in src/uk/me/ parabola/mkgmap/osmstyle/StyledConverter.java. The following patch will remove it.
