| Posted by Adriano Built-in speed limits and warning sound Bongiorno, I just bought the 3597LMT. During navigation, the speed limits are shown in the lower left (icon). When my speed exceeds, the icon flashes, but it is not no audible warning sound. How do I ensure that when I exceed the speed limit, Garmin also emits a sound signal? Thank you very much! |
| Posted by johmazz2006 Re: Speed limits & warning sound I have the 3590 lmt and it does not have audible warning on overspeed, and think you may not have it as well unfortunately. :cry: |
| Posted by jamespmorris No Alert It seems this is not a feature....I got my device today..and there seems no method of doing this alert. :( |

| Posted by Charles H2 Garmin lack of speed alerts. I have been reading the above remarks and comments with great interest. I resent the disparaging remarks about "taking responsibility for your driving habits" etc. I currently own 2 TomToms, and One Garmin Nuvi 2595LM which I use extensively in Europe, and I would like these people to note the following: In France, they post speed limit road sings on the main roads but NOT approaching or in local villages and town, therefore it is necessary to have some kind of speed indication and alerts, also different villages and towns have different speeds, NOT all indicated. I don't like using the TomToms in Australia due to the time-lag and the 7k/m over limit before warning. I wear glasses and sometimes find it difficult to see the speedometer and or the satnav due to bad lighting/glare/re-focus time etc. therefore I think speed alerts and speed indications are essential, and if I feel I need this, why can't I have it, after all, I'm spending good money on a so-called device that should work the way the customer requires, because if it wasn't for us customers, there would be no Garmin/TomTom etc. Also, I find it MUCH easier to be able to (relax) and concentrate on the road and my driving etc without having to constantly watch the speedo or satnav (just listen). When one is driving on a trip of around 2 to 3 thousand kilometers, keeping your speed up is vital and watching the speedo becomes very tiresome. So now I'm going to have to see if I can buy another (brand), one which does have speed indication and alerts so I can enjoy my trips. Thank you and have a great trip. |
| Posted by gcleeton Audible alert To get audible alert of speed limit , change the 'locale' to 'European'. It will not affect your Americam maps. |
| Posted by FinlayR Audio From a bit of research it seems that this is not a feature of your GPS model. Possibly could return the device if it's not been too long since you bought it? |
