Garmin Mobile XT and speed zones

Hi,

I'm using Garmin Mobile XT 500.40 on my Nokia N95. It doesn't show the speed limit for any of the roads I travel on - I expected that on backroads but not on, say, the M4 / M2 in Sydney. I've gone into the settings and enabled every warning I can find.

Any suggestions?

Also I've downloaded the Speed and Red light camera's POI and the mp3 files for warnings - how to I install the mp3 files?

TIA,

Wayne

Show speed limits - not an option?

Ok - I've just checked the manual in relation to displaying the speed limit and apparently it is supposed to be:

Menu -> Tools -> Map

Under Vehicle there should be Show Speed Limit - but on mine it's not there.

Any thoughts?

MobileXT version 5.00.40s60.9

Cheers,
Wayne

Re: speed limits

Hi Wayne. As far as i have seen (Ive got Garmin on N82) The maps dont have speed limits with them, you would have to create a CSV file with a series of locations along the road of your choice, pin a speed limit to each point and then save that to the speed cam poi file. Hopefully there is an quicker way but this is what i did with some of the major roads i drive frequently. Hope this helps

Speed notifications

Don't forget to activate your audio notification in the tools settings region... Set it to continuous speed alerts to get the continious speed updates.
