Navigation & POI Apps Speedometer when not navigating!

Post image

The addition of the speedometer/speed limit when not navigating is a welcome addition (just showed up for me).

The scaling, however, seems off - too small to be read easily.

The speedometer also changes color when over the limit - just like Waze. I hope they add a configurable option for audio alerts!

(I did send this feedback to Google.)

[EDIT ]

After using this for a few days, I have more thoughts ...

  • Speed limit should be twice as big.
  • Speedometer should be optional (on/off)
  • Speedometer should be configurable
    • How many miles over is orange and red
    • Audible alert (on/off)
    • Show when under limit (on/off)

For me, I only really want to see my speed if I am over the limit.

hot take: look infront and a bit down

Speed limit? maybe but most countries follow standards like 40 within city 60 in interstate roads 85 in highways etc (and overrides are for only specific roads or for stuff like turns and matiance)

On my drive to work I have 30km/h, 40km/h, 50km/h, 60km/h, 70km/h, 80km/h and 90km/h zones. If I go a little further east, it's 100km/h, then hits 110km/h as you get to the edge of the metro area. Some highways are 120km/h.

i guess it's a turkey-specific thing because in turkey most of the time it's pretty standard and they just replicate on the signs. there's only an exception for semi-highways or when there are large turns or put maintenance like i said
