Patent Images
1. A method of providing navigation guidance by a navigation device, comprising:
- determining a location of a vehicle in a road segment, wherein the location of the vehicle in the road segment includes a lane the vehicle is in;
determining a dynamic speed limit in accordance with the location of the vehicle in the road segment; and
displaying the dynamic speed limit in a display of the navigation device, wherein the dynamic speed limit reflects a legal speed limit at the time of displaying, the legal speed limit representing a speed limit applicable to a plurality of vehicles in the road segment.
