Automotive Device Alerts When Going Over the Speed Limit

Your Garmin automotive device has the ability to provide a visual alert when you exceed the speed limit. The audible speed alert may be disabled or enabled as desired.

To Turn Audible Speed Alerts On or Off:

  1. Touch Settings
  2. Touch Driver Assistance
  3. Touch Audible Driver Alerts or Driver Alerts
  4. Check or uncheck the box next to Speed Limit Exceeded as necessary

If you are going over the speed limit, your current driving speed will display in red text, or the speed limit data field will turn red, regardless of locale setting.

Garmin does offer a free application called  Points of Interest (POI) Loader that allows you to load custom points of interest to your device. These custom points of interest can include custom alerts such as speed alerts. If you are interested in creating your own custom speed alerts, you can find more information  Creating Custom POI Files.
