Our GPS often shows the incorrect speed limit.

And map data for speed limits is outdated at best.

New cars now read speed signs as you pass them. It's a bit of a gimmick and sometimes misses them.

I know of at least one stretch of road near me that’s missing a speed limit sign. It drops down to 25 mph around some curves, then increases to 45 as it straightens back out. The sign for 45 is missing, so cars that read signs would be driving too slow at that point. GPS apps like Waze get it right…
