Google’s GPS application finally has a real speedometer. Disabled by default, here’s what to do to enjoy it right now.
Google Maps finally includes an official speedometer. Until now, this absurd lack could be filled only by resorting to third-party solutions. This is now history, as Google is rolling out the speedometer on the Maps mobile apps.
US users of the application (Android only), reported in recent days the appearance of the feature, disabled by default, in the settings of the application.
The deployment of the speedometer in Google Maps seems to be faster than usual since the option is starting to appear, drop by drop, in our latitudes. Here’s how to activate it.
Launch Google Maps on your Android smartphone, deploy the main menu of the application and go to Settings.
Then enter the Navigation settings menu, scroll down to Drive route options, and activate the Speedometer.
Then all you have to do is search for a route and start navigation to see the speedometer appear at the bottom left of the map.
