AndroidPolice’s source also reports that Google Maps provides an audio warning for drivers when they are approaching a speed trap.
The Google Maps speed trap feature has also started rolling out.Credit: ANDROIDPOLICE.COMWhile the speed limit feature has been around for about a year and a half, it was previously only available in the San Francisco Bay Area and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. AndroidPolice received multiple tips from Google Maps users located across the country concerning the new feature.
Users have had the ability to report speed traps in Google Maps since late last year. However, until now, the app wasn’t yet making the reported speed traps visible for users in maps.
SEE ALSO:Google Maps adds yet another feature: Google AssistantGoogle Maps users have long wondered when such features were going to make its debut on the service. Crowdsource-powered navigation app, Waze, grew in popularity for providing this sort of detailed information on the road. Google acquired Wazeback in 2013 for around $1 billion.
Now, nearly five and a half years later, some of the Waze features are finally making its way to Google Maps.
UPDATE: Jan. 18, 2019, 5:09 p.m. PST We confirmed Google Maps is starting to roll out the ability to see speed cameras and speed limits on the mobile app. Speed cameras will post for users in the UK, U.S., Australia, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, India, and Indonesia, while speed limits will post throughout the U.S., UK, and Denmark.
