Hi Martin, and others,

I need to clarify that for the time being the Skobbler apps use a different 
engine than the Scout U.S. apps. My work is focused mostly on the Scout U.S. 
apps for now, and the improvements I am working on will only benefit Scout U.S. 
for now.

That said, we are working on tighter integration of the products, so that all 
the work we do on OpenStreetMap benefits all our apps. In the mean time, let me 
ask the Skobbler team what their usage of destination* is.

Hi!

Here at Telenav, we have now adopted destination= and destination:ref=
for signpost information.

Great news! I just came back from my holidays where we used Skobbler (I guess 
you know it ;-) ) for navigation and it was hell. Skobbler desperately needs 
that kind of information.

Just a brief summary for everyone who's never used the key destination and its 
sub-keys:
* The key destination=* describes the direction of the highway by using the 
name of the city the highway is heading to. [1]
* There are some proposed sub-keys to provide further information, e.g. 
destination:ref to provide the reference of the highway this highway is heading 
to. [2]
* The JOSM style "Land and road attributes" [3] has rudimentary support for 
destination, destination:ref, destination:int_ref and destination:country, so 
you are able to see that kind of information while editing in JOSM.

Best regards,
Martin
