  "account": "Google Maps on Android Auto has finally added a long-awaited feature – a live speedometer and speed limit indicator. However, this highly requested functionality seems to be disappearing for some users, along with stop signs and traffic signals.\n\nAndroid Auto users are reporting that the speedometer and speed limit indicator have vanished from their screens. Some reports also indicate that traffic signs, such as stop signs and traffic signals, have disappeared from the display as well. These issues have left users confused and frustrated.\n\nWaze users on Android Auto are currently experiencing a separate bug that's hiding their journey information. However, Waze is not the only navigation app facing technical difficulties at the moment. Google Maps is also experiencing problems on the platform.\n\nThe issue appears to be related to a feature that started rolling out for Google Maps on Android Auto in July. Initially, the feature was only available to select beta testers. The live speedometer functionality is already present in Google Maps on Apple's CarPlay experience, but Google took longer to integrate it into Android Auto.",
