I don't know if it's been mentioned on here before, but it certainly knows about the speed limit on some roads, and if you go over this limit it'll flash the speed red!

Is that for TomTom Go or Navigator?

Cheers, I'll give it go. I don't normally have the speed displayed cos it makes it hard to read ETA and remaining distance.

Does "absolute offence" refer strictly to the matter of breaking the law, or does it also encompass the 'offence' that is caused to other motorists obeying the speed limit when they are overtaken by a speeding driver? Wink

Hurrah!! It works!! I switched off ETA so I can read it. Gets a bit annoying on motorways, continuously flashing that is.
It does go off though over 120 mph :D Only joking, it's good for morale :D

Hi,

Anyone knows how to get the (Beep) sound on Tom Tom One, when speed limit has breached ?

Thanks

You cannot get the unit to emit an audio warning when exceeding the speed limit, the best solution is to know where the speed cameras are and use these for the warning of camera location, type and speed. This will give you spoken alerts, but only you control the vehicles speed, local restrictions also have to be taken into consideration when driving - Mike

Hmm... I got to test this new feature out this week for the first time on a trip into the midlands.

Living on a trunk road all stated well. Into the first new village it picked up the 30 limit reduced from 40 about 2 yrs ago but on crossing the roundabout I was back to 40 (should be 30, changed at same time) the new 50 as you leave the village (6 months old, after fatal accident on bends) was nowhere in sight.

Several more villages were fine then just outside Kington It gave me a non existent 30. Then passing through Eardisly where the road goes into an A and four digit class the limit disappeared completely. The same turning off the main road to go round the top of Hereford and the B road to Newent from Trumpet, yes the limit knowledge is very limited.

Worse though was to follow. Heading up from Worcester to Kidderminster the speeds were all over the shop including a change to 70 as we entered a 40mph dual carriageway from a 50mph single carriage section.

Sure the idea is great in principle but this implementation is a menace.

Oh and to cap it all the shades of red and blue used are in my weak area on colour blindness so when I do exceed what TT believe is the speed limit I loose my ability to use the GPS as a better guide of what speed I am doing at a glance.

And the final insult its a non user configurable option.
