Ever since the software upgrade my car thinks the speed limit on all roads other than major roads - so all country lanes and B roads in the UK - is 30mph. On A roads it correctly reads the road signs. Very annoying! Anyone else suffering the same problem?

Nope, I did a mixed A/B/minor journey this morning and it was fine (2.1 installed this week)

What is the version of the navigation database? Last time I checked mine it was 21.2 and has been ok on minor roads. It is possible to check the map data online at https://mapcreator.here.com/

Yes. I get exactly the same here is deepest Herefordshire. The car seems to think that all unclassified roads have a 30mph speed limit. I don't know if this is new to v2.1 because until that upgrade I had the feature turned off due to it getting confused between mph and kph.

I'm experiencing the same issue on 2.1 (can't remember it happening before on2.0). It is not on all stretches of 'B' roads probably 50-50% of locations., but it is consistent ie drops down to 30 mph at the same place on the same 'B' roads. Also had this - dropping to 20 mph in 30mph built up areas and most disturbing dropping to 40 mph on stretches of the A14 when driving at 70 mph in ACC - the cars behind don't like that for some reason!
I've told the dealer, waiting to hear back from them.

I had the same issue on mine with the 2.1 update ( in a 30mph limit and the car map said 80mph, had ACC on which was scary).
Car was returned to the dealers who performed the 2.1 update again as they told me it appeared not to have done the previous 2.1 update correctly, which seems strange.
Anyway, now all seems well.
