Since we're here talking sat-navs and speed limits, and since sat-navs
have maps, measure speeds and know about speed limits, are there any
which issue a warning when the local limit is being exceeded?


Mine turns the speed display from white to red when I exceed it
(possibly when I exceed it by a certain amount, not sure). Trouble is,
it's *far* too small to even see what colour the text is without taking
my eyes off the road for longer than I want to. I've not found any way
of getting an audible warning out of it.

It does give audible warnings when I approach speed cameras. It warns
me even when I'm stuck in traffic and being overtaken by arthritic old
ladies in zimmer frames.

I use Tomtom on a Palm Treo 680, I presume that other Tomtoms are the
same.
