1. An apparatus adapted for providing a driver of a vehicle with speed limit information appropriate to a region of a road being transversed by the vehicle comprising:
- a) a receiver adapted for use in the vehicle;
b) the receiver including a computer, a data input device and a speed limit display device;
the computer cooperating with the data input device to associate the speed limit data for a specific location with vehicle travel and to thereafter transmit a signal to the display device to indicate the speed limit that is thereafter displayed on the display device.

10. A method of providing a driver of a vehicle with information regarding speed limit comprising the steps of:
-
a) providing speed limit data associated with a driving pathway; b) collecting the speed limit data in a computer system; and
comparing such data to a particular location so as to provide a speed limit for the location; andc) providing a display adapted for use in the vehicle that cooperates with the computer to receive a real time output of the speed limit for the location of the vehicle and to display the output for visual viewing of the driver of the vehicle.
