Android Auto Users Get Live Speedometer Feature After Seven-Year Wait

Google Maps users on Android Auto have been waiting for over seven years to access live speedometer and speed limit signs without setting an active destination. This feature was first introduced in Google's Maps app in 2019, but it wasn't until this year that Android Auto users could take advantage of it. Now, reports suggest that the live speedometer is finally rolling out to Android Auto users, allowing them to view their current speed and surrounding road conditions without having a destination set.

This update comes as good news for drivers who prefer Google Maps over other navigation apps like Waze. However, some users have reported issues with the speedometer not showing up at all, which is likely due to a bug that the Android Auto team is working to fix. Unfortunately, there's no clear timeline for when this issue will be resolved.

For now, drivers can rest assured that the feature will eventually roll out to their device. However, it may take some patience as Google hasn't provided an exact release date or time frame for the rollout.
