About Maps Speedometer
Maps Speedometer (formerly known as Navigation Speedometer) shows your current speed in Google Maps/Navigation or any other app, like Navigon, TomTom, Sygic, CoPilot, Skobbler, WhatsApp, Chrome. It automatically detects when Google Maps/Navigation or any other app of your choice is active and shows an elegant overlay with a speedometer. It is also possible to show the speedometer when you connect to an other Bluetooth device.
FEATURES:
- No advertisements!
- No internet access necessary, no backdoors sharing your private information;
- It automatically shows and hides, depending whether Google Maps/Navigation (or any other app of your choice) is active or not;
- It automatically shows and hides, depending whether a Bluetooth connection is active;
- There is also a manual mode, to control it via the notification bar manually;
- Choose between miles, kilometers per hour or knots (mph, km/h or kn);
- Hide it for 10 seconds by touching the overlay;
- Adjustable transparency;
- Adjustable size;
- Adjustable position, just drag it anywhere you like;
- Adjustable colors and styles;
- Can be used with any app installed on your device
ANDROID AUTO SUPPORT:
Maps Speedometer can only show on your phone screen while connected to Android Auto. There is a special activation mode to do so. At the moment it is not possible to show an overlay over the Maps app in Android Auto. Android Auto currently only supports audio or messaging apps (within some strictly defined boundaries).
We hope that Android Auto will become more open to allow apps like Maps Speedometer and Maps Speed Limits to show an overlay on Android Auto, but at this moment there doesn't seem to be any incentive at Google to do so.

5 months on Pixel 3: Superb app. With Android 10 running flawlessly in Google Maps + Waze + MapFactor — all of which, indeed, have their own integrated Speedometers.

Nice app 👍
Great for displaying your actual speed. In one of the latest versions of Google maps this feature was integrated. With Maps Speedometer you can however position the speed indicator wherever you want.
