Google Maps finally adds speedometer on iOS!

According to TechCrunch, Google Maps will soon include speedometers and speed limit indicators for iOS and CarPlay. Android has had these features since 2019, although Waze has had them since 2016. iPhone users may now use them to see how fast they're driving when using Google Maps.

To enable it, tap your profile picture in Google Maps and select Settings > Navigation. Scroll down to the Map Display section to find the switches for the speedometer and speed limit features. When activated, the speedometer will be displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen. If you exceed the speed limit, the speedometer will change colors to prompt you to slow down.

According to Google's support page, the speedometer is for "informational use only" and should not be used as a replacement for your car's speedometer. This is because your real driving speed may differ from the speed displayed by Google Maps. Just something to keep in mind for your own safety.

The new speeding features were detected being used by iPhone owners in India, and Google plans to push them out globally in the coming weeks.
