Unfortunately I relied on the "Which" Magazine and went for a Garmin nuvi3597. I am now having to return it because it shows speed limits of 1 & 2mph.
That aside I downloaded all of the pois I had on my previous Tomtom and none would even load onto the Garmin - wrong file format.
The speed cameras show up as 2mm square icons.

Is there any resolution?

Have you tried a master reset? Must say I've never heard of speed limits displaying as 1 or 2 mph. If a master reset doesn't cure it then it's definitely faulty.

As for POIs, the TT format is different to Garmins so you can't simply move the files across. Speed camera files are also different so you need to download Garmin ones.

As for Which, the 3597 is generally an excellent device, so you may have just got a bad one.

Is this something that has just happened or a new unit?

That low speed limit is a new one on me as well. A screenshot would be useful for comparison.

This happened to me and it appears that the latest map update (May 2015) has a problem which shows speed limits at 3MPH - in my case on the A12 - Little Glemham Suffolk showing 3 instead of 30.

Download POIEdit ( http://www.poiedit.com/ ) and you can convert the TomTom ov2 files to Garmin csv files. Works a treat, I did it for mine recently.
