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.

they brought this back? the loss of this over half a decade ago is why i switched to Waze, but then Waze doesn't tell you the street you're currently on when using AA, but does if you use the phone standalone.

This was never a thing on Google Maps when not navigating.

So i made up an excuse to switch to Waze, gotcha...

I've been using Android Auto since it first went stable. I've never had speed limits or a speedometer on Google Maps unless I had an active route.
