Google Maps updates Android Auto speedometer functionality
Google is rolling out an update to Google Maps on Android Auto that allows the speedometer, speed limits, and traffic signs to be displayed even when a specific destination has not been set.
Previously, users were required to start active navigation to see these features. This update addresses a long-standing limitation compared to competitors like Waze. According to information shared via Reddit, the feature is currently in the process of being rolled out, which explains why some users may not see the speedometer immediately while others do.
