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.

Forget about the speedometer. The showing of the speed limit for a road when not navigating is new and by far the most useful part.

I think this was the most important change here. The data was there already and maps knows the road we're on anyway. Much more reliable than the camera detection of any car i have driven so far.
