GPS SPEED & SPEED LIMIT
#1
![Default](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I am considering purchasing a cabrio in an A5 or a TT -- with MMI nav.
I am currently using a Garmin GPS. It displays a speed limit sign with the limit for the road segment being traveled -- plus the current vehicle speed. If the current speed is over the displayed limit the numbers are RED.
On my A5/TT test drives I don't remember seeing this data.
Did I just miss it or is this not a feature on the Audi Nav?
Sad if true -- as I would be forced to put my Garmin in my new Audi!
Thanks, Bill Gargan

Unfortunately, GPS capabilities installed in any car will never be as advanced or up to date as the portable units.
According to an interview I saw with the CEO of Garmin, the automotive industries lead times are so long the technology can change before the car can be built. Or said another way,your car, the features in it and the subcontract parts had to be designed and committed to several years ago.
The technology and available maps used in GPS have advanced considerably since that time.
