This app uses Accessibility services. This app will only use Accessibility services to detect the current active app, so it can show the overlay with the apps chosen by you in the configuration.

Note: Android Auto is not supported. Unfortunately Google doesn't allow to show an overlay on Android Auto.

With this permission Maps Speed Limits can draw the speed limit sign over other apps.

App does a really good job doing what it's suppose to do. I've tried 3 or 4 others and this is the most accurate. That said it does have its draw backs. Biggest is you better have a good charger because it will struggle to keep up its a battery hog! Second I wish it had the option to only come on with certain apps in stead of having to manually select it to activate it.

I have waited a long time for this app! The dashboard screen on my car is 8 inches. That's enough for most of my needs except for the speed limits on most navigation apps - so small I can barely read them! A dangerous problem that gets solved by Maps Speed Limits! I get real-time accurate speed limits on the phone screen (not the dashboard) and I can custom size it up to 500x! This app has probably already saved me from getting pulled over several times! I thank you!

I drive routes for work, I wanted basically what Waze is capable of with their continuous knowledge of any given speed limit in case I miss a sign because I travel a lot of unfamiliar roads, but I didn't want the entire navigation part because I like using android auto with Google maps. However, I knew more speed limit zones than this app by far. Darn. Short version: All I'm asking for is a Waze quality speed limit informer, but just an overlay, that works. But none exist.
