How to easily add speed limits on Google Maps

  • Google Maps allows you to set speed limits with the help of an external app called Velociraptor.
  • Velociraptor is free and can be easily downloaded from the Play Store.
  • Audible alerts can be set to warn you if you exceed the speed limit.
  • Integration is also possible with other navigation apps such as Waze.

Surely on more than one occasion you have wondered how you can set speed limits in the navigation mode offered by the Android application Google Maps. Well, we are going to guide you step by step to achieve this in a simple way and without jeopardizing the functionality of the excellent development of the Mountain View company.

The truth is that achieving this is something that, using an external application, can be achieved without any problem and with a fairly high reliability. What development do you have to use? Well it's called Velociraptor and it can be downloaded from the Play Store without having to pay absolutely anything for it. Here is the corresponding link:

What you have to do

To get speed limits to be integrated into Google Maps using the previously downloaded application, all you have to do is set some parameters in the latter and then simply enjoy the added when you use the browser of the Mountain View company that, remember, you already have offline maps in many regions.

Activate Velciraptor for Google maps

The first thing is to activate Velociraptor, which is translated, so that it has the privileges you need, something you do on the screen that appears the first time you run it (this can also be done in Development Settings). Once this is done, you must locate the section to establish the units of measurements -speed- used by the job, so that you can confirm that it is the kilometers per hour that it will use.

Here you will see that it is possible to configure the development in such a way that when you are in Google Maps a sound is emitted if you exceed the speed limit maximum that the road you are traveling on has (with options of tolerance per percentage to exceed it if you want this to be the case). A section that we should not recommend that you use the International, since it is the appropriate one for Spain.

Finally, it is possible that in addition to Google Maps, Velociraptor can be activated so that it integrates into other apps like, for example Waze if it is the one you prefer as a browser. You will achieve this in the Settings section called Show in these apps. Click on Configure and in the list of compatible select the desired checkbox.

You have everything well prepared for the speed limit to be displayed on Google Maps -when you open the navigation you will see the corresponding icon on the right-hand side-and, in this way, you will not have problems with fines when driving if you pay attention to it.
