Please REMOVE the SPEEDOMETER and Show the posted SPEED LIMIT instead!
I usually type long long long posts, but the title of this speaks for itself. Just a couple more details below.....
Nokia had a GPS app called HERE Drive. It showed you what speed you were going and what the posted speed limit of the road was. Very handy.
The release of Windows 10 has caused the HERE Drive app to be deleted and replaced with Windows Maps. Some of it the same and some different, but everything good was taken away. Windows Maps is horrible, and many people are now looking to choose a new app for navigation.
Waze has a lot going for it. A big issue is that it doesn't have a satellite map overlay view. I'm sure that they are aware of that and working to fix it.
What other GPS apps don't have that they should is a display that shows what the posted speed limit of the road being traveled on is. When have you ever seen a speed limit sign when you needed one? How much time have you wasted going below the actual speed limit because you didn't want to get a ticket?
Waze already has a feature called "Speedometer". When you use Waze, if you have it on it shows you how fast you are moving. That is so stupid. Your car has a speedometer! You don't need the app to tell you your speed, and it isn't even accurate! Maybe joggers or bicyclists find it handy, but the reading of the Waze Speedometer is never the same as the Speedometer of my car. It is a pointless feature.
Instead Waze should fill the void that HERE Drive for Windows phones ones filled, and provide those searching for a new GPS provider the only feature besides satellite view that they lack. PLEASE Waze, remove the speedometer and replace it with a display that shows what the posted speed limit of the road being traveled is.
I have to point out that Waze already has a feature that warns you if you are traveling at a speed faster than the posted limit. You can already set it to alert you if you are traveling 3mph over or 15mph over. The Waze app ALREADY KNOWS what the posted speed limit of the road is! They just don't display it on the app!!!!! It would be such an easy update!!!! Help me let Waze know that we want this!

You can set your preferences to show the speed limit continuously.
