Google Maps lets you see how fast youre driving. Heres how CNET

Google has been busy updating Google Maps in the past month, first rolling out speed limit indicators and then speed camera alerts. The latest feature to join Google's mapping app is a speedometer that indicates up even as you're using. While yes, of path your car already has one, the concept is so that it will see your speed in a look in case you're already looking at the app to check on directions -- and maintain your eyes on the street instead of darting to and fro among the app and your dashboard speedometer.

Google is currently rolling this out, so you may want to be affected person in case you do not have it but. You can take a look at the Maps app settings to look when you have it.

Here's how to turn at the brand new capabilities.
