Summary

Google Maps has introduced a speedometer and speed limit indicators for iOS and CarPlay users, a feature that Android users have enjoyed since 2019. This new update allows iPhone users to monitor their driving speed directly through the Google Maps app, enhancing both convenience and safety.

To activate these features, tap your profile picture in Google Maps, navigate to Settings > Navigation, and scroll down to the Map display section to toggle the speedometer and speed limit options. Once enabled, the speedometer will appear in the bottom left corner of your screen, changing colors if you exceed the speed limit to remind you to slow down.

Google emphasizes that the speedometer is intended for "informational use only" and should not replace your car’s actual speedometer. The displayed speed may vary slightly from your vehicle's speedometer, so always rely on your car's readings for accurate speed.

The new features were initially spotted by iPhone users in India, and Google plans a global rollout in the coming weeks, making driving with Google Maps even more user-friendly.
