Default Route mapping with speed limits


Any one found any route mapping software that has speed limit data?

Even something at A & B road level that just identified where the known current NSL boundaries are, would be useful.

This is one hell of a great thought. I would love to see a map like this one too.

I wish! I usually fiddle the default speeds in TomTom - set motorways down to av speed of 20, or something like that

Use viamichelin.com

They have a range of route options and the one they recommend is almost always the quickest. Knowing what the speed limits are is not necessarily a good guide to the best or quickest route.

Thanks for the tips, what I was really looking for was how to plan a trip with the most NSL road on it on the presumption that it offered the most "freedom" from worrying about lower speed limits. Around the area I live, now I have an S, I've come to realise just how much the lower limits have been slowly removing much of the NSL road stretches.

If I had a map of the NSL roads, it would enable some better route planning for the roundabout route to anywhere that I find myself taking when driving the S.

I was with you on your first idea but some have got a bit confused. A map showing speed limits next to the roads number would be great.
