It's possible that the speed limit was increased but the 2013 map data doesn't have the newer 75 MPH limit.
Same with the speed limit in Austin. I know it was recently raised in Texas. And here's why: the system uses stored image recognition to display SLI data. It doesn't read the numbers. It matches entire signs against the database. 80 and 85 MPH signs don't exist in the database - yet - because they're relatively new to USA/NA. So when it passes one, it ignores it - there's no match. The 2014 navigation update should resolve this.

It was raised in 2011. What it doesn't seem to get correct is the speed limit on the toll roads of which 130 is one. It gets the 75 correct on I-35 but not on 45 or 130. I drive them all the time since I live here in Austin. I love the 90mph tollways (the cops give you 10-15 here in Texas. I was blasting 87 and passed a DPS guy on the 75mph 45 toll road just this afternoon. Course he couldn't get around to get me either since the highway is heavily divided and limited access....LOLOL
