did the speed warning thing a few years back using mapsource. create a waypoint where the speed limit is posted and name the waypoint like this for example, "rizalave@40". the street name should always be followed by the @ sign and speed limit (ie 40). save the file as a gpx file then send to your gps. this gives a visible and audible warning when the speed trap is approaching.

hope this helps.
