Google maps will show speed limits of roads

Google Maps continues to strengthen its platform with features of the social network of routes that Google bought a few years ago in Waze. Some users of the map application are finding a new function in their services: speed limit alerts. In the past, Google Maps confirmed to the Mashable site that it is testing the speed camera alert feature on its maps. This innovation is complemented by the new function, informs the technology and science site ‘Bgr’.

Now, users entering navigation mode in Google Maps will find an icon in the lower left corner that shows the speed limit of the road they are driving. This option is not new, since several driving applications have it. Users entering navigation mode in Google Maps will find an icon in the lower left corner that shows the speed limit of the road. Users entering navigation mode in Google Maps will find an icon in the lower left corner that shows the speed limit of the road.

Mashable informed that this option will only be available in the markets of the United States, the United Kingdom and Denmark. While the speed radars will be visible in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, India and Indonesia.

It should be noted that the features are still being tested. It means that they would only appear on Android devices, an operating system owned by Google. If the results are successful, the service will add features for everyone on devices that also work with iOS.
