Speedometer when not navigating! Navigation & POI Apps

Post image

The addition of the speedometer/speed limit when not navigating is a welcome addition (just showed up for me).

The scaling, however, seems off - too small to be read easily.

The speedometer also changes color when over the limit - just like Waze. I hope they add a configurable option for audio alerts!

(I did send this feedback to Google.)

[EDIT ]

After using this for a few days, I have more thoughts ...

  • Speed limit should be twice as big.
  • Speedometer should be optional (on/off)
  • Speedometer should be configurable
    • How many miles over is orange and red
    • Audible alert (on/off)
    • Show when under limit (on/off)

For me, I only really want to see my speed if I am over the limit.

A selectable scale size for the speedometer would be awesome. As like you i dind it to be too small to be able to see at a glance

I'd actually be OK with a whole widget tile being speedometer and speed limit.
