While you are certainly correct about lack of speed signage please don't think a GPS speed advisory system is the answer. It is then only a minor step to enforcement using these devices in future. Every time you stray you will be fisted and pay for the privilege to have the unit.
My biggest speed signage issue is time based ( ie school zones ) that have no indication of weather they are active or not. Try riding a motorbike with no clock while wearing a proper jacket and gauntlet gloves. If you guess 5 min early some spanner wants to run you down. 5 minutes late you get fisted.
