I don't have it on my BM and always regretted it as Mrs Bean has it on her Merc GL and it works superbly. I thought they were all by way of the camera behind the rear view mirror interpreting road signs at the side of the road, clearly BMW must have it set up wrong if it can't do that. I have to say the Merc system is 100%, the only one it missed recently was due to an overgrown hedge obscuring the sign.
It's camera. I didn't even think to look for it in the options as I just assumed it would be on the sat nav as most others are.

The speed data is surely in there for calculating journey times, it's just hidden.

On the plus side my observation skills have improved over the last month!
