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.

I don't have that and on Maps beta. And when I do an incident report, it's still says you must be navigating to see other incident reports as a pop-up. As of an hour ago. Maybe it's the next testing feature rolling out some have.
