Bad Speed Limit Data - How to report?

[mpshizzle]

I've been having an issue with the map data on I-15 near where I live in Utah. The speed limit is 70, but there are 2 spots on the freeway (about 1/2 mile apart) where the car thinks the speed limit is 50. It's kinda dangerous, as you're cruising along all of a sudden the car will just stomp on the brakes to slow down to 50. Then it'll see the sign for 70 and speed up again a moment later.

There are no speed limit signs anywhere that say 50 so it's gotta be an internal database thing. It's been like this for almost a year. Is there way to report that to Ford?

Try disabling the speed limit recognition setting, even though there are no signs in the area giving you trouble. Personally, I don't see much use for that feature, and like you said, it can be dangerous when its incorrect.

It's not Ford. It is a company called HERE.

If you go into their map creator, you can find their speed for the road. https://mapcreator.here.com/

A road near my house went from something (posted signs, think they were 50), to an unposted speed limit of 55. Here changed it to 25. I went through the laborious process of gathering proof (county database) to show the road is unposted 55. It has now been changed - in their database. The next time Ford allows a map update (I believe annually), it should change.

This is what I was looking for. Thank you!

Just corrected those areas. Hope Ford pulls an update sooner than later ?

I have corrections on there going back 2 years. Still not approved, and not changed. It seems like a waste of time.

Just to be clear, you can't "correct" the area. You submit a correction to HERE, they review it and decide if it's correct - then they change their database. Then, at some point in the future, it should change in the car.

FYI, I submitted my change to HERE in early November. Two months later they notified me that they had updated their database. It's now 2 1/2 months after that, and no map update. It is likely an annual update.

Got mine approved.

Got mine approved.

All mine have just been in perpetual "Under Review"

I supplied proof, i.e. link to the county's website where they specified the speed limit.

I'm hoping they don't ask for proof on mine! Random 20ft sections in the middle of a freeway that have a different speed limit should be self explanatory ha ha

Thats how the section of highway I've reported is. Its like a half mile, and its split into 6 sections all with an incorrect speed limit.

I never hear back from my submissions with HERE. When I submit changes to Google or Apple, gets approved fairly quickly. And you don’t have to submit proof from a county database. ??? I like the built in maps, but too many speed limit and address errors in my area (including my own home address) to be reliable for me.

You would think! Same for me in my area.

I like the speed sign recognition.
It saved me from going 55 into a school zone that I did not see. At first I thought it was a car error then I saw the school. The sign was blocked as I passed A School Bus.
