yes, we've been discussing that for months.
If you have speed displayed on your map when navigating it shows e.g.
75/70 where 75 is your speed and 70 is the speed limit embedded in the road data on recent maps.
Trouble is
1. it flashes red so you can't read it. In Europe where both numbers are 3 digits its even worse.
2. the data is often wrong! even to the bizarre extent of having one side of a dual-carriageway as 30 and the other as 70 (when they are really both 70)

Yes. It's built into the Map Data, and if the Navigation program is set to show it in the Status Bar, then it will display as vroomfondel explained above.
