Google has begun rolling out speedometers and speed limits for iPhone users
globally. When people start navigation on Google Maps, the vehicle's speed
is shown.

 This is something Waze has had all along.
 

Maps for iOS displays speed limits, but doesn't display a speedometer.
Just like when we tell students at our racing schools that they can't use lap timers, it's not a good idea to show most people something that they'll only use to push their speed higher.
