Is it a reasonable amount of data? Does it take 0.1ms per node, or can several highway segments be checked in the same calculation? I imagine the same calculation could be used for other default calculations, like the default language format, Or it could be used to display certain features differently in different countries: e.g. don’t use a cross symbol for hospitals in Saudi Arabia. For the USA, how quickly can you reverse geocode admin_levels 2, 4, 6 and 8 for a road? (National, State, County and Municipal) >
