Can you remove the option that shows your vehicle speed? What if you prove you aren't at fault but you are 5mph over the posted speed limit?

I am pretty sure it only shows speed when viewed on a computer, if you view it on the device's LCD screen it will not show the speed, so showing a cop the video at the scene of accident they will not see your speed...

You cannot turn off the speed option. But I think that is a good thing, because you will always be watching your speed not to go more than 5 mph over the speed limit. Believe me, in the long run, it will benefit you. Which do you prefer?: A) You turn off the speed option. You are going 10 mph over the speed limit and you get hit by another driver as a result of his/her fault, and you prove it is his/her fault, or B) You leave the speed option on. You are staying within 5 mph over the speed limit, and you have enough time and space to avert an accident when another driver is about to hit you (as a result of his/her fault). Even though you can prove in (A) it is not your fault, you get more headache. (B) gives you no headache. Staying within 5 mph over the speed limit will save you (or minimize your risk) not only from accidents (regardless whose fault it is) but also from speeding tickets.

You can set an "overspeed" alarm for a specific speed, regardless of the speed limit on that road. The acutal speed display will turn red when you go over your selected speed. I don't know if there's a lowe limit ... but if you set it to 35, anytime you are driving 36 mph or higher the display will change.

I brought this one as a gift for someone, but I do have this brand; and yes it does display the speed limit. The one that I have also shows how fast I am driving. The device will show the posted speed limit, and it will show how fast you are going. I love this brand!

Yes, it has settings to allow audio and visual notification when you exceed the speed limit. You can also can how many miles over the speed limit you would like it to alarm you.

Hello Daina,I don't know if there is an option in the setting that would permit this...It only loads the best rout that it calculates to be the best option. If you connect it with the traffic sensor, and depending on the traffic in your planed rout, it may give a new option (route), and let you know how much time you could save... You will however, have to accept the suggestion before your GPS could implement it (the new route )...Have a great day,Kevin

No. It does not show the speed limit. It does show how fast you are going. I was kind of disappointed that it did not show the speed limit as my last Garmin did.

Just as frustrated as you, recently I almost had an accident driving at night, it kept telling me I have half a mile to go, and suddenly the right was 2 seconds away.I had to cross 3 lanes of traffic like the movies otherwise we would have added 30 minutes and missed our flight.Not too happy right now. the sound just follows the software so is also not reliable.

Yes. It will display the speed limitation and the real time speed, and voice warnings at some points.

Just click "Yes". It activates when you hit your brakes hard or hit something. It just takes a quick snapshot of the incident and continues to record. It also keeps the video from being erased.

All that I have seen is that the speed icon begins to glow red to indicate an overage.I do know that there is a short warning tone to indicate that you are approaching a school zone.I for one would not care for an audible tone for speed as it would get pretty annoying , I'm pretty close most of the time but not perfect.

It does tell you, but I've found that it's often wrong. My maps are even up-to-date. It's off by 5 mph. For example, if the speed limit is 65, it may say that it's 60. There is not much difference in the speed and it only occasionally happens. It turns red when you are going over the speed limit to let you know you are speeding.

You can set the speed manually, or use one of the automated programs. I always adjust the speed manually. The increments are 0.1 mph.

Yes, mine shows my speed in red when I am over the posted speed limit. It is reasonably accurate, but there are some places, such as recent construction where a lower speed is posted on the road, but Garmin shows the normal speed for that area. So you must not depend solely on Garmin for what the actual speed limit is.

The display turns red when you are over the speed limit. I have not noticed any audible alarms other than for a warning that an intersection with a camera is a head.

Hi. the warning is that the speed limit is in bottom left and your speed is next to it. If you are exceeding the limit your speed will appear in RED.
