Although iOS has its own map service, Google Maps is the most popular service of this type and also the most used on Apple smartphones.. And while it’s fair to admit that Cupertino has done a great job of improving it in recent years, we can’t forget how disappointing it was at its debut with all kinds of failures, especially outside of the United States, that made its use completely inadvisable.

As I say, the highly recommended option today is Apple Maps, which I’ve tried myself on a few occasions, always with fairly satisfactory results. However, partly out of habit and partly because the search engine keeps improving its proposition in this market, my choice Whenever I take the car on a route I don’t know beforehand, it’s Google Maps. Last? I will be using them again last weekend and most likely next Saturday.

Like many other technologies, Google is testing some features on a certain platform first (iOS, Android, desktop, etc.) and later expand it to others. And while one might expect it to always favor Android because it’s its operating system, the truth is that it’s common to see some of its features trickle down to iPhone users first and then to those on Android devices later. This, of course, is not the case that concerns us today.

The good news, as we can read in TechCrunch, is this The version of Google Maps for iOS now warns us when we exceed the maximum speed of the road we are driving on. For a long time, Google Maps has shown the maximum speed in the lower right corner, but this remains unchanged whether we drive below or above it, unlike what happens in the Android version.

From now on with this update and if we activate this feature when we exceed the maximum speed we will see how the color of the maximum speed indicator will change automatically, which warns us that we are exaggerating. However, Google always remembers that we must give absolute priority to the speed indicated on the speedometer of the car, not the speed displayed in its application, although it is true that the measurements made by it are usually always displayed, the most accurate.
