What will it use to determine where you are and what the speed limit is?

Google maps? Apple maps? Is there some government mapping service with speed limits that are updated based on construction?

Can I turn it off when it is constantly wrong on rural roads?

I think a lot of modern cars recognise the speed signs with cameras

A lot of rural roads are unmarked, and use the state law standard.

If you're staying within city limits; the only speed signs you'd see much of the time are in parking lots/private property, explicitly slower than the public roadway speeds.

Oh you sweet summer child.

I drive a 2024 Kia Niro and it always knows what the speed limit is.

Sometimes however it will tell me that I’ve just entered a one way going the wrong way, and it’s always wrong when it says that.
