Curious about how to activate the Speedometer in Google Maps? Follow our step-by-step guide:
The Speedometer in your Google Maps app provides real-time information about your driving speed, serving as a useful tool for staying aware of your velocity on the road.
However, it's essential to note that the speedometer in the app is for informational purposes only.
For an additional layer of caution, Google Maps offers speed limit alerts. If this feature is available in your location, the speedometer will notify you if you exceed the speed limit, changing colors to visually signal the need to adjust your speed.
Here's how to enable the Speedometer in Google Maps:
Open Google Maps: Unlock your Android device and launch the Google Maps app. Locate the app icon on your home screen or app drawer and tap to open.
Access your account settings: Within the Google Maps app, find your profile picture or initial, typically located in the top right corner of the screen. Tap on it to access a dropdown menu.
Navigate to navigation settings: In the dropdown menu, select the "Settings" option to reveal additional customization choices. From there, choose "Navigation settings" to proceed.
Locate "Driving Options": Once in the navigation settings, find the section labeled "Driving options," which contains various features and preferences related to your driving experience on Google Maps.
Toggle the speedometer on or off: Under "Driving options," you'll find the toggle switch for the speedometer. To activate the speedometer and receive real-time information on your driving speed, switch it to the "On" position.
