Answer: Telematics can rely on mapping and speed-limit databases as well as GPS.

Make the challenge precise

Record the road, direction, time and exact section where the problem occurs. If safe and lawful, a later photograph of the sign can help. Continue to obey the actual road signs rather than changing your driving to match what the app appears to believe.

Digital maps can lag behind the road

Speed limits can change, temporary restrictions can be introduced and mapping databases can contain errors. If telematics compares your speed with incorrect road data, the app may flag a journey that was actually within the posted limit.
