34. A computer-readable medium for speed management and control, comprising:
-
at least one sequence of instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor causes the processor to perform the actions of;
determining a present geographic position of a wireless device;
referencing a database on the wireless device having a plurality of geographic location data associated with a plurality of speed limit data;
matching the present geographic position with one of the plurality of geographic location data;
identifying a speed limit as the one of the plurality of speed limit data corresponding to the matched one of the plurality of geographic location data; and
selectively generating an alert on the wireless device based upon the speed limit.
