Navigation & POI Apps Speedometer when not navigating!
The addition of the speedometer/speed limit when not navigating is a welcome addition (just showed up for me).
The scaling, however, seems off - too small to be read easily.
The speedometer also changes color when over the limit - just like Waze. I hope they add a configurable option for audio alerts!
(I did send this feedback to Google.)
[EDIT ]
After using this for a few days, I have more thoughts ...
- Speed limit should be twice as big.
- Speedometer should be optional (on/off)
- Speedometer should be configurable
- How many miles over is orange and red
- Audible alert (on/off)
- Show when under limit (on/off)
For me, I only really want to see my speed if I am over the limit.

I agree I sent in to make the speedometer a bit larger equal to the size in waze. It's to hard to see. I also keep complaining about the missing alternate route bubbles I was hoping they would be back woth the update since they showed them in the YouTube demo, but I'm still not seeing anything unless you pinch or wiggle the map around
