Google Maps - Speed Indication

[garrycol]

I had to go somewhere yesterday so googled the business on my phone and the phone showed where to go on Google Maps - rather than transfer the location to my Garmin I decided to use the phone as a street navigator. Worked OK but there was no speed indication - I was navigating under the car option.

When I got home I went into settings etc expecting to see "enable speed" but nothing was obvious.

Goggled "show speed google maps" and it would seem it is not possible which I find odd for an app designed for street navigation.

So have I missed something? Is a vehicle speed indication available on Google maps? I appreciate there are apps that do this perfectly but just curious about a speed indication in google maps.

Thanks
