Android Auto is starting to roll out a live speedometer feature in Google Maps. This update addresses a long-awaited functionality that has been available in other platforms but slow to reach Android Auto.
Google is finally rolling out a live speedometer support for Android Auto in Google Maps after years of anticipation. Several users have begun reporting the appearance of this feature, indicating a gradual rollout.
The addition of speed limits in Google Maps was introduced previously, but the live speedometer took significantly longer to be implemented. Despite earlier adoption by Apple CarPlay in July 2024, Android users have had to wait for this integration.
Current reports indicate that only a few select users, such as one from Canada using app version 26.29.02.946673643, have access to the speedometer feature. Overall, widespread availability has not yet been confirmed.
The speedometer feature has been available through Waze on Android Auto for several years, highlighting a competitive shortfall in Google's offering until now. This update brings Android Auto more in line with existing options for navigation and speed monitoring.
