Google Maps Speedometer Vanishes From Android Auto
Google's live speedometer feature on Android Auto has gone missing for some users just weeks after its introduction. The feature, which shows a vehicle's current speed and posted speed limit, was rolled out to Android Auto in July but is now no longer available.
The speedometer was designed as a floating indicator on the Google Maps screen that would warn drivers when they exceeded the speed limit by changing color from yellow to red. However, users who had received the feature are now reporting that it has disappeared along with the speed limit indicator and other features like stop signs and traffic lights.
Google has yet to acknowledge the issue or explain why these features have vanished. It's unclear whether this is a temporary bug or if the company has made changes to the server-side rollout, but users will have to wait for Google to address the problem. For now, keeping Google Maps and Android Auto updated may help restore the missing tools.
