Google Maps: how to activate speed limit warnings

Since 2019 Maps offers a tool to know the speed limits of each road.

Google Maps is one of the most widely used real-time location tools in the world. Born with the intention of serving as a simple map, the application has been incorporating all kinds of tools to its interface to provide its users with maximum relevant information about the route.

Those who use it can know in real time the state of the nearest roads, gas stations, stores and points of interest and even their schedules. In addition, since 2019, Maps gives additional information to drivers: the speed limit of the roads they travel.

It is not its best known function but it is one of the most useful. And it is that, although by law all roads have to be signposted with their speed limits, many times drivers, especially if they are doing a route they are not used to, can get distracted and get lost, causing them to exceed those limits or simply driving at an inappropriate speed.

How to activate this function 

In order for Google Maps to indicate the speed limits of each road that we travel, we must follow the following steps:

  1. Open the Maps application on our mobile phone and click on the profile icon that we find in the upper right part of the screen.

  2. Click on 'Settings' and look for the 'Navigation Settings' option.

  3. Scroll down until you find 'Driving Options'. Then activate the 'Speed ​​limits'. If, in addition, you want to see the speed at which you are going, you can also activate the speedometer option.

In this way, every time we are driving, the application will show the speed limit of the road we are on and, if we have configured it, the speed at which our vehicle is traveling in the lower left corner of the screen.
