Android Auto's Google Maps speedometer is gone—and it's taking stop signs with it
A new feature that's no longer available
Some Android Auto users are reporting that the live speedometer feature on Google Maps has stopped working. According to Android Police and 9to5Google, users on Reddit have complained that the feature, which was introduced in July, has vanished.
The speedometer feature, which displays a user's current speed while navigating, was rolled out to select Google Maps beta testers in July and expanded to more users later that month. However, it appears that the feature is now missing for some users, according to 9to5Google and Android Authority.
Some users also reported that stop signs and traffic signals have disappeared, according to Android Authority. The issue does not seem to be widespread, but it is not clear how many users are affected.
