A reminder to all on east coast of Australia, school holidays are here and fines double and points loss are doubled as well.
Suggest that the cruise control be used every where and watch what you are doing and take notice of speed signs and not totally rely on a GPS to do everything for you. Being observant may even get you through the Xmas holiday season without hurt or killed.
Happy and Safe Xmas to all.

I to have just purchased a 3790T and what you describe is correct, your speed turns red when you exceed the posted limit by 1 km/h (un adjustable) but at some point you actually have to take your eyes off the GPS to see where you are driving. This is where an audible speed alert comes in very handy. I borrowed a Navman My60 last week from a friend before I decided on the Garmin and it has an adjustable audible warning for 5 or 10km/h not sure if it went higher. Had I known this feature or similar was not available it would have been a lost sale for Garmin… Hope this massive shortcoming can be overcome before an unnoticed speed zone change results in a donation to the MAN… The TomTom 910 (very antiquated now) that the Garmin replaced also had an adjustable audible/visible speed warning but set at a specific speed eg 125km/h, that was better than nothing…
