Google Maps is rolling out a speedometer and speed limit indicators to iOS and CarPlay. Android has both features since 2019, while Waze has them both. Now, iPhone users can use them to measure how fast they're driving while using Google Maps.
To enable it, tap your profile picture in Google Maps and go to Settings > Navigation. Scroll down to the Map Display section and you'll see toggles for the speedometer and speed limit features. When enabled, the speedometer will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen. If you drive over the speed limit, the speedometer will change color to remind you to slow down.
Google said in its that the speedometer is for “informational use” only and should not be used as a substitute for your car's actual speedometer. This is because your actual driving speed may differ from the speed displayed on Google Maps. This is something you should be aware of for your own safety.
iPhone owners in India have spotted the new speed-up features being used, and Google will be rolling them out globally in the coming weeks.
