You only realise that it needs changing after you have seen it to be
wrong. The whole point of satnav is to tell you things that you don't
know.


Its to assist, its not a replacement for the driver.


Brilliant - I'd never have worked that out for myself!

If a substantial stretch of the road has the wrong speed limit, the whole
choice of route is thrown into question. And it is nonsensical to suggest
that the appropriate way of handling this is to check every significant
section before you decide which suggested route to follow. Equally it it a
complete rip-off to pay the map update fees. And the user-contributed
updates, useful though they may be, tend to be slow and erratic in
becoming available.
