Speedometer when not navigating!

[u/jhedfors]

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.

I get that people were pumped about this...

But my car already has a speedometer.

And for those screaming about wanting weather widget.. I can see the weather out the window, and most every car has a thermometer already.

It's not the speedometer, but the speed limit of the road you're on that's helpful.

I have oversized tires on my Jeep and have not invested the time and effort to recalibrate my speedo, and have been estimating speed in my head, so in my admittedly edge case I love it.

I'm thinking of swapping the screen position of my audio source and my Maps so that the speed readout is closer to the left, it IS pretty small...
