Speed limit missing from all profiles except car

[Bram]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to get a speed limit visible in more profiles than just the car profile but for some reason it is not even listed as an option to turn on for the other profiles(preferable the 'global' one too).

https://osmand.net/features/map-viewing is not helpful, it just assumes "Speed limit"  is there and it can be turned on/off at will

Where can I find a setting influencing the options which are available for toggling on in a profile (for me it does not make sense why they are not just all listed, it seems a useless layer of complexity that apparently this is configurable too so maybe I am missing something ?)

I have also read somewhere that the speed limit is only visible when navigating, is that true ?

I would really like to see it when I am just driving wherever the road takes me.

Regards

Bram

I have the same need that Bram notes:

I have also read somewhere that the speed limit is only visible when navigating, is that true ?

I would really like to see it when I am just driving wherever the road takes me.

Use case ... I am a passenger in car with my tablet running OSMAND. I am watching the map and observing things as we drive. (I look for things like pavement types (which show up well on OSMAND), important land features not mapped (lakes, etc), stop signs, traffic signals, and speed limits.)

I thought I turned on speed limit, but it only seems to show when navigating. (Actual speed shows up whether navigating or not. )

What would be ideal is an indication of speed limit that shows up when I configure it in the upper right corner (probably the easiest for you to implement), but here is a thought:  why not provide a way to have some attribute (selectable by me) that actually displays right next to the automobile cursor? (This way I don't have to always check the upper right corner to see the maxspeed.)

For further background: as I drive along (as passenger) and I see something of note, I immediately enter an offline OSM Note on the map. Later, when I am at my PC, I use the GPX trace and the notes to make edits to OSM. whenever I see a speed limit sign, I create a note with the speed limit. Not knowing if OSM already has a maxspeed, I create numerous extra, unneeded notes. If I knew there was a maxspeed and it was correct, I would not make the note.
