The overspeed sound warning would be excellent |

I have just updated my old Tom Tom with a Nuvi 3790T and find I am wondering if I made a mistake. Advice was the Garmin is the pick of the crop and while so far it seems ok, I miss the user configuration available on the Tom Tom, like the audible beep when over speed. The main problem with TT was the alarm was a preset number. The Nuvi overspeed red alert works but I did notice one stretch that reported 80k for a few kilometres when it was posted 70, and has been for many years. Hmmm... Could be a trap if relying on it too much, and also being visual you have to take your eyes off the road to check the small icons so it really defeats the purpose of having it in the first place I think. With access to a site like this it certainly increases the value. |

I try to respect the speed limit but I often go a few mph above it and it would drive me nuts to hear a voice reminding me each time that I am going above the posted speed limit!
I do have a warning on my 1490T in the form of my actual speed colored in red when I go above the speed limit but it is not always easy to read. Instead I would prefer a verbal warning that i could set say at 5mph or 8 mph over the actual speed limit. In this way, it would really be useful to get my attention and bring me back to the speed limit. |
