Google Maps Android Auto Bug Causes Speed Switcheroo

Google Maps on Android Auto is causing confusion for drivers as it keeps switching between showing speed in miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per hour (KPH), regardless of their own settings. Several users have reported this issue, with one user stating that they live in a country that uses kilometers per hour and had set their unit preference to KPH, but the app was still showing MPH.

One possible explanation for the issue is that some users are near a border between countries that use different units, but it's unclear why this would be happening for everyone who's experiencing the problem. The exact cause of the issue is currently unknown, and Google has not commented on the matter.

The speedometer in Google Maps shows both the posted speed limit on the street where you're driving and your current speed, which can be confusing if the units are switching back and forth. This feature is particularly useful for drivers who need to adjust their speed accordingly.
