TomTom Warnings

[xantia]

I am considering swapping my Mio 520T for a TomTom 920T, my Mio warns me when I am over the current speed limit, will the TomTom do this.

Thanks in anticipation

Yes it should do on my one xl I can set it to flash red and make an audible warning , in my case a cookoo

My Mio Says "You are over the speed limit", better than a bleep or similar Thanks for the reply.

Yes, as you've already been told, there are three ways of doing it. First, you set the TT to show your speed at all times.

1. TomTom Sound effect (about a dozen, bleeps, cuckoos, etc).
2. Type your own "You are over the Speed Limit". This will only work if you use the Computer Voice.
3. Put your own sound file in there (I can't remember what format or which folder it goes in - Andy_P2002 is the expert).

A very important point was made by GerryC about not relying on it. Another point is that it only works when the 920 has the speed limit information for the road you are on AND if that information is correct. The M5 southbound from junction 22 to junction 25 shows mostly at 60mph.

The warning cuts in at 4mph over the "known" speed (e.g. 34, 44, 54, 64).
Here's a picture of the GO screen showing me travelling at 37/40 - that's 37mph in a 40mph zone. If I were doing 44, it would show 44/40 and the figures would flash on and off.
