Good news for drivers who like to know where they are going, even when they don't go anywhere precise: on Android Auto, Google Maps will display the speedometer, limitations and some panels even without a scheduled destination.

Android Auto will soon receive a useful update of Google Maps. According to 9to5Google, Google has confirmed that the application will soon display the current speed, speed limit, and road signs or stop signs even without an active route. Since many daily trips take place on short or familiar routes when drivers do not indicate their destination, this update removes a small but annoying restriction for Android Auto users.

Google deploys an update to display the real-time look, limitations and stop signs permanently on the onboard screen, even without starting a route. This feature fills a frustrating display flaw for known routes. The option is gradually activated on the server side for all users, correcting some recent display bugs by the way.
