You can, if you don’t have to keep taking your eye off it to look out for signs by the side of it!

It will simply report the number it sees, but then the display is a TFT screen, so you simply let the car know you’re in a km/h country and it changes the Speedo to a km/h one.

Yes, it will pick out the sign amongst that lot. At night. In the rain.

hi mate

wish I had the adaptive cruise control where it adjusts its speed automatically if there’s a car in front

as a side note I believe many of the Tom toms can also detect automatic speed limits
 
Same can be said about our old RRs to a certain extent.
What sort of nutter needs TC on a 2 1/2T 4x4 (proper 4wd not jap sh*t) , capable of going anywhere, to keep it on the road?

Who needs cruise control on their auto because one pedal is too much :rolleyes:

I still find electric windows a luxury. EAS don’t bother me, after driving a tratter for 20 years slab of concrete would do the job.
 
You can watch the road more, if you don’t have to keep taking your eye off it to look out for signs by the side of the road.

It will simply report the number it sees, but then the entire display is a TFT screen (like a mobile phone), so you simply let the car know you’re in a km/h country and it changes the speedometer to a km/h one.

Yes, it will pick out the sign amongst that lot. At night and in the pi**ing rain too. Would you be certain that you’d see it in those circumstances?
Actually it diverts your attention from what is going on outside the car to what is going on inside the car, GPS is known to be the cause of many accidents.
 
Although I never rely on it for the limits, Waze App is pretty good at showing current speed limit on the map & flips cleanly between the various 30, 40, 50 & 70 limits in my area.
 
Some use the radio road alerts system I believe.

cheers mate , was there something called an angel that also used that kind of system

know when I’ve used my Tom Tom it had a current speed feature so u could set warnings if so req , was always out in comparison to the speed plus or minus 2% but always found it clever considering how far away the satellite is , lol
 
This is where old fashioned analogue disks are better than digital readouts. You can see where the needle is pointing without having to focus and read the number. A number may be more modern but you are required to read it and process what it says, which takes longer

It shows analogue dials and needles, just like yours, it’s just that they are provided via a TFT screen. It’s great, because you can switch from a mph to km/h speedometer instantly or, if you use low range (and I do!), the speedometer drops from 155 maximum to 60 - with all the numbers really widely spaced.

It is well proven that it takes less time to register an analogue needle position than to register a number.
 
If the next person that wants to criticise the instruments for being digital could please take a look at the analogue speedometer, rev counter, fuel and temperature gauges that it comes with first, that’d be great! :p:D
