Confusing a GPS

When I went to Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago I had the route plugged into the GPS. The mapping software is expecting to see the slow down going through Hoover Dam. Crossing the new bridge I noticed the ETA dropped around six minutes or so. Didn't think anymore about it. This morning I was resetting the trip meters and noticed the max speed on my GPS was 222 mph.

Since I have an older GPS the mapping software will never be updated to reflect the new bridge. Just think of the kind of speeds we can obtain with the Nomads!
