Recently, Google Maps continues to evolve and is now bringing an important new feature for Android Auto users. The navigation app has begun rolling out a real-time speedometer, a feature that users have been requesting for years while using the service during their daily commutes.
The new tool will display the vehicle’s current speed alongside the road’s speed limit. In addition, the indicator will change color when the driver exceeds the recommended speed, providing a quick and useful visual reference while driving.
For now, the update is being released gradually to some users of the Google Maps beta version, so it may take a few weeks before it becomes available on all compatible devices.
What is this new feature for?
Its purpose is to help drivers stay informed about their speed while using navigation, improving the overall user experience and promoting safer driving.
The feature was already available in the Google Maps mobile app and on other systems, but its arrival on Android Auto has been one of the most anticipated updates among users.
