Google Maps on Android Auto appears to be gaining a live speedometer, with early signs that Google has started rolling out the feature to some users. The change does not seem to be broadly available yet, but it marks progress on a tool many drivers have been waiting to see in the car-focused interface.
The update follows Google's earlier work on bringing speed limit information to Maps, a feature that also took time to expand. Adding a speedometer would give drivers another at-a-glance data point while using turn-by-turn navigation through Android Auto.
For now, the rollout looks limited rather than widespread, suggesting Google may be testing availability before a broader release. That means some Android Auto users may spot the new speed display in Google Maps while others will still be waiting for it to appear.
If the feature expands, it would make Google Maps on Android Auto more closely aligned with navigation experiences that already show both route guidance and current driving speed on screen. The early rollout indicates Google is continuing to refine Maps for in-car use, even if new additions are arriving gradually.
