Abstract
This invention is a GPS speeding detector including a GPS receiver, a CPU, a database of speed limits for a particular geographical region, and speaker. The unit can be integrally mounted in a car or used as a stand-alone device. The CPU receives position data from the GPS receiver, uses the position to calculate the speed of the vehicle, and queries the speed limit on a database. The CPU compares the vehicle speed against the posted speed. An audio tone from the speaker notifies the driver of speeding.
