Google has launched two new features in Google Maps, the “Speedometer and Speed Limits” for iPhone users globally, where car speed will be shown in miles or kilometers, depending on each region, when using Google Maps.
Users can run the speedometer and speed limits by clicking on the profile picture on the Google Maps app with iPhone, and then going to the driving “navigation options” settings, and once enabled, the speed limits feature will change colors on the speed indicator to push them to drive within the speed limit specified in their area.
According to Google, the speedometer displays the speed of the vehicle for “informational use only”, as the vehicle’s speedometer should be relied upon to confirm the actual driving speed.
Google launched its speedometer and speed limits feature on Android in May 2019, and it was expanded to more than 40 countries after being limited to selected markets.
