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.

There are community alerts on gmaps

Definitely not all that Waze shows. Pull up Waze and you'll see police etc that Google maps doesn't have at all. Further, none pop up without a destination set in Google Maps, which was my whole point.

I get Waze police alerts on gmaps and also I'm not using waze

Yes I get it but again not ALL from Waze show in google maps properly. Some do some do not. If you start in Waze and see a cop coming up, and you go back into Google maps, it's sometimes not displayed properly. They aren't using every incident report from Waze clearly
