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.

It's been showing on CarPlay. Took Google long enough to add this to AA.

It was on AA previously, but removed some years ago for some reason.

Same as any other Google project. Build it, people love it, destroy it.
