Default boon box 6.5 navagation

Hi
hope all are healthy
I've got a 2016 ultra limited with the 6.5 boom box radio.
I was on an unfamiliar road recently and didn't know the speed limit
I had the map on
I can have the lower right side of the navigation screen show the speed limit when I'm in "where to" (trip) mode.
is there a way to have it also show the speed limit when I just in "map" mode
I found the way to set it in the manual but it's only for when the map is in the where to (trip) mode

I think it only works when it has a route programmed in.

I don’t think it shows the speed limit it can show the speed though.

The GTS has speed limit settings, but don't remember the GT having it.

on the GTS it has an option for posted speed limit, on the GT it does not, just an option for the speed you're going.

Hi all
When i have a route up the posted speed will show in the rt lower corner. I set it up thru "settings".
When I just have the map up, nothing is in the rt lower corner. I thought maybe I missed something in the manual
in my truck. google maps shows the posted speed with or without a planed route.
Now to show my stupidity...what is GT and GTS??

The GTS Boom is 2019 up

I'd like to see a pic of the speed limit showing on your GT screen. I put 100,000 miles on bikes with the GT Boom and I don't remember it. Humor a old guy! lol...
