Current GPS lets me know when I am 1Km over the max speed limit for a particular road I am on, its a 20year old NAVIG8R brand, similar to the discontinued Navman 130M I think. Looked at some of the Garmins eg the Drive 53, and with over the speed limit, I understand, The GPS just puts a red light on the screen, I want a verbal notification.
Looking at making a purchase on Black Friday, would appreciate your input on a suitable GPS.
I believe the current NAVIG8R GPS which I will transfer from our runabout Yaris to our less used Landcruiser has saved me countless speeding tickets. 2 prior NAVIG8R's have died with battery problems and software glitches.
The only sound (voice) from my current GPS is "You are over the Speed Limit". ( unless I am getting direction to go somewhere). Am not into looking at the GPS for colours/info
Garmin Drive 53 and Garmin Smart Drive 66, just give Tones.... as do probably all Garmins
eg:
Schools
The device plays a tone and displays the speed limit (if available) for an upcoming school or school zone.
Speed limit exceeded
The device displays a red border on the speed limit icon when you exceed the posted speed limit for the current road. (And gives a Tone, according to the specs)
Speed limit reduced
The device plays a tone and displays the upcoming speed limit so you can be prepared to adjust your speed.
