Google pays a lot of attention to its Maps application, considering that it's one of the most popular Google proprietary apps out there. Now it seems that the application was updated with a new and useful feature, one that shows speed limits during navigation.

Reddit user has revealed that speed limits during navigation in Google Maps are now visible, thus displaying vital information letting users know how fast they should drive in certain areas. The feature isn't exactly new, as it has been available in other similar applications, like Waze, for some time now.

The feature displays the speed limit for the current area in the bottom left corner of Google Maps, just above the route info. Unlike Waze, users won't be warned if they exceed the speed limit, but at least now they would know just how fast to drive. It seems that the feature has already started rolling out to some devices and should arrive to all users in the following weeks.

Google has also started rolling out a new Explore UI for its users. The new section is an alternate view for finding local businesses and attractions. The new UI includes an all-white design at the top of the screen and it trades tabs for a vertical scroll that would make it easier to parse information.

Just recently, Google Maps partnered with Lyft and Gett in order to provide users with more options to find and compare the fastest route to arrive at their destination.
