Google is starting a limited rollout of a live speedometer inside Google Maps when used with Android Auto. Multiple outlets report that the feature is appearing for some users through the Google Maps/Android Auto beta or select accounts, rather than being broadly available immediately. The speedometer shows real-time driving speed and related speed-limit information, enabling drivers to monitor their current speed while navigating. Coverage describes the new on-screen speedometer as similar in function to a feature commonly associated with Waze, which has offered live speed displays for longer. Several reports emphasize that rollout coverage is initially narrow and is expected to expand gradually to more users over time. The updates are presented as long-requested by drivers, following years of demand for speed visibility in Google Maps on Android Auto. Overall, the sources agree that this is an incremental deployment: early access for a subset of drivers, followed by wider availability as Google completes its staged release.
