Why is the speed limit warning roughly half the actual speed aloud, ie. when your driving into a 30mph limit, the warning is for 19mph? |

Could you tell us what SatNav system that you are using and whether this happens all the time or just occasionally.

I'm using a Garmin StreetPilot c310 and yes it happens all the time.
19mph in a 30mph limit
43mph in a 70mph limit |

Sounds like KPH and MPH is being confused someplace:
19KPH = 30MPH
43KPH = 70MPH
I'd check your settings. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Sadly mathematics was always my weakest point, one of the reasons why I never chose aviation for my career! _________________ Darren Griffin |

No I was right the first time. Both figures are in MPH. |
