At long last, Apple Maps provides lane guidance, so you can see at a glance which lane you need to be in so that you can make your turn (or not make a turn you don’t want to make). In my testing, this feature was a bit spotty—at one point, a trip up the freeway didn’t show proper lane guidance, but the return trip down the freeway did. Still, when it’s there, it’s great, because it’s awfully nerve-wracking to not know whether you need to get over another lane.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Apple Maps now displays the current Speed Limit for the road you’re driving on, a feature I’ve been using in other navigation apps for years. Again, better late than never.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Google Maps for iOS has had good lane guidance for a long time but doesn’t show the speed limit.<\/p>\n

Google Maps does<\/em> show the speed limit…sometimes<\/em>. It does in California, but not in NY, so 🤷<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to a post on the Android Auto support forum, the speed limit indicator is only live in the San Francisco Bay Area and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
