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.
