Considering that none of the answers actually answer the actual question, why keep it up?
Waze will give you that
I'm pretty sure that waze doesn't work in Android Auto.
Looks like I'm wrong. I just saw some articles from 2022 about getting it working. Thanks!
Waze has worked in AA for years. No clue where you got the original idea that it didn't or needed to made to work, it just works as a a supported app.
It didn't used to many years ago!
And was we know software never changes to get new features
Could've been in a coma since 2016 π.
Waze and Magic Earth both work, are both free, and both support speed display while driving.
Nah it works. you just... Select Waze as the active app, there it is, right on android auto
Is Waze functional again? I haven't used it in a couple years after it changed my destination mid-drive a couple times.
HereWeGo and OrganicMaps both show this when driving.
There is an overlay app you can get on just regular android called velociraptor. It usually does it for you. Some streets it doesn't know. Never tried it in Android auto. But if I use my phone screen navigation when driving it does.
Doesn't work with Android 13 and up, correct?
Not sure I'm on 11
That's country dependent due to legal differences. It's not possible where I am.
So, the law says that if you are navigating, the speed must be hidden? Can you share this law? I want to read that absurdity.
No, that's not what I said.
It's the speed limit that isn't shown in certain countries. The speed is shown.
There is obviously not any specific law against showing the speed limit. The legal issue is that the Google's software for showing the limits is tied in with the speed control software, which is illegal some places.
Google just haven't bothered make a custom version of maps for those places.
Also, they have had technical issues with the speed limit data being so wrong in some places that they rolled back the function shortly after it was implemented.
I'm sure they hate dealing with this kind of question: https://support.google.com/maps/thread/42045207/how-do-i-prove-that-google-maps-showed-the-incorrect-speed-limit-i-need-to-dispute-a-ticket?hl=en
Also curious about this. Perhaps misunderstood this as being about speed cameras?
Its the Heisenberg uncertainty principal of driving. Many countries, in an effort to keep our universe from being destroyed, require you to either known your exact location, or an accurate calculation of your speed, but never both
I would also like to learn about this law that apparently prevents Google Maps from showing speed limits in my country, but allows Waze to do so.
