How to Turn on Speed Limit Warning on Google Maps

By Kevin Colleran

Google Maps speed limit function shows users the speed limit of the road they’re on and warns them if they are exceeding it. Google Maps also shows users the speed they’re driving at but advises users to check their speed on the car’s speedometer. The speedometer in the app is for informational use only and users should not solely rely on it. The speed limit is shown on the bottom left corner of the map while navigating, just above the bar that shows the estimated time of arrival (ETA) along with other information.

Google Maps first made the on-screen speedometer available to users in 2019. Back then, it was available for select users in Asia, Europe, South America, UK, and US. Gradually, the on-screen speedometer has been made available to more users across the globe. Alongside, Google also shows the speed limit of the area the user is in. However, the speed limit function is currently not available in all regions. If the speed limit feature is available in your region, here’s how you can enable it. Google advises its users to not depend on the on-screen speedometer.
