I live in Tasmania and after a few weeks of using my Nuvi 1390t I have only encountered a couple of instances of speed limits being displayed on the screen. The only time they seem to show up is when I approach (some) 40 km/h school zones.

I was under the impression the maps would display the speed limit of most roads. Is that too much to ask ?

Perhaps I am living in a low priority area where speed limits haven't yet been added to the data set for the maps. What should I be expecting?

I've noticed that too and I live on the mainland. I think if someone has uploaded the poi then they will work, if no one has uploaded the alert on a particular road well you just have to wait until someone does. Just update your poi once a month or two.

The speed limits are part of the map data I think. I have noticed that if I drive routes around Sydney or Melbournce (in simulation mode), most streets display a speed limit.

It seems regional areas like Tasmania don't yet have the speed limit attributes as part of the map data. I was just wondering if others have noticed the same thing.

In my local area speed limit displays are very lacking. I have even noticed two areas where the diplayed speed is wrong having lived here for over ten years and those speeds have not changed.

If anyone knows how to alter or change please let us know.

Thanks
