Avery useful little detail


Recommended Posts

I was driving my wife's Toyota Yaris yesterday and, I noticed what I consider to be an extremely useful bit of detail on the SatNav.

When I was exceeding the speed limit applicable to any particular zone, even by 3 or 4mph, be it 30, 40 or 50mph, the speed limit sign in the bottom right hand corner of the screen changed from the number being surrounded by a red circle, to a number in a solid red block.  I am wondering why such a useful option is not available in my car which probably costs 3 times as much as the Yaris.

Anyone know if this might be an option in the IS that can be turned on by the dealer?

That's a great feature and subtly highlights excess speed.

I've not seen it in my built-in nav's but they're all old.

However on my phone, Sygic does the same thing.
