Dan Pražák Google Maps is clearly one of the most popular navigation services today. It was therefore surprising that they did not display speed limits.

Google has been testing the feature for several years, but it was only available in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Brazilian capital, Rio de Janeiro. But after much testing, speed limits and speed cameras have also begun to appear on roads in other cities such as New York and Los Angeles, and will spread throughout the United States, Denmark and Great Britain. Only speed cameras should then start showing up soon in Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Indonesia, Mexico and Russia.
The speed limit indicator is displayed in the lower left corner of the application, and only when navigation to a certain location is turned on. Apparently, Google Maps also allows for exceptional situations when the speed on the road is temporarily limited, for example due to repairs. The radars are then displayed directly on the map in the form of simple icons. According to the server Android Police but maps from Google are also capable of alerting you to approaching speed cameras via an audio warning. The system is therefore similar to other navigation applications, including the aforementioned Waze.
