Google Maps for iPhones is introducing an on-screen speedometer feature, which has been spotted in both the iOS and CarPlay version of the app. This feature, currently available to limited users, is expected to be a welcome upgrade once fully rolled out. The speedometer uses GPS data, potentially making it more accurate than a car's own speedometer and more conveniently placed for checking upcoming directions.
The new iPhone Google Maps speedometer uses GPS data to provide real-time speed information to drivers. It appears on the screen while navigating, offering a more accurate and conveniently placed alternative to a car's built-in speedometer. The feature is currently available for certain users and is expected to roll out more widely in the future.
There are currently no visual confirmations, such as screenshots or photos, of the new speedometer feature in Google Maps for iOS and CarPlay. The feature has been reported by autoevolution and its readers, but its limited availability makes it difficult to provide visual proof at this time.
