Google Maps iPhone users are starting to see this important real-time feature in the app.

 


Using mapping and navigation apps like Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Waze is a great reason to buy a smartphone. Anyone old enough to remember writing down directions or using a map to get safely from point “A” to point “B” will likely still be amazed at how entering a destination into any of the three aforementioned apps will instantly display the route on their smartphone screen.

It feels like magic, especially when drivers are forced to reroute due to road construction, police action, sudden weather changes, traffic jams, etc. Perhaps most amazingly, Google Maps has been providing free turn-by-turn directions to phone owners since November 2009, when the Motorola DROID was released as the first phone to run Android 2.0.

Google has been quietly adding a new feature to Google Maps for iOS in certain locations and for a limited number of users. That feature is a speedometer, which is already available to many users who use variations of both Google Maps and Waze for Android. According to autoevolution, the speedometer in the mapping and navigation app that uses GPS is more accurate than the speedometer on your car's dashboard. And some drivers glance at the directions in their navigation app while driving (more on that later), so they can get directions while also seeing how fast they're going at the same time.

Setting up the speedometer feature in Waze

Google appears to be testing a speedometer in Google Maps and CarPlay for iOS, as evidenced by the feature appearing intermittently on some iPhone devices. Just two days ago, an iPhone user posted on Reddit: “On my way to work today, I was using Google Maps on my work phone (iPhone 14 Pro) when I noticed that there was a speedometer feature exclusive to Android. However, when I tested it on another phone (iPhone 14 Pro Max), the feature was nowhere to be seen.”

In some states, it's illegal to have a smartphone while driving, so drivers don't have a legal right to see the speeds displayed on Google Maps. If you don't drive in one of those states, Waze can also show you your speed and warn you if you're speeding. Open the Waze app and tap the three-line hamburger menu in the top-left corner of the screen.

[設定]>[スピードメーター]Tap to toggle between settings as needed. You can choose to see your speed on the map, see the current speed limit when you're driving over the limit, see it all the time, or never see it. You can also set it to sound an audible alert when you're driving at the speed limit, 5 MPH, 10 MPH, 15 MPH, or 20 MPH over the speed limit, or 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20% over the speed limit.
