How To Enable Speedometer In Google Maps App?

Google Maps app is one of the most frequently used services, And Google updated it last month and began offering new features including Speed ​​Limit and Speed ​​Cameras Alerts.

The new features show maximum speed limit on the road at the bottom of the screen. And also alerting drivers to places of speed cameras.

The speed limit feature is one of the most important features that users want to be available within the google maps app, the speedometer that appears while driving. Although cars already have their own speedometers, the idea here is that the user is able to follow the driving speed while using the application; to check the directions; to keep his eye on the road all the time instead of distracting the application from the speedometer on the dashboard.

Google is currently working to launch these features globally so you may need to be patient if you do not have these features yet and you can check your Maps settings to see if an update is available in the app.
