Speed cameras on Google Maps. Can we see them on desktop and can we add them on the map?

Good afternoon everybody,
I would like to request information … today I updated the Google Maps app on my mobile phone and noticed that setting a road route from A to B on the route is indicated the Speed Cameras (instantaneous and average speed detection system). If I open google maps from the PC browser instead they don’t appear, is it normal?
I would also like to ask you, if there was a speed camera not reported and I wanted to insert it on the map, how can I do it? I have seen that among the various categories it is not present.
Thank you all.

Great that you have discovered the new update, @Alfred_V

Of course is for mobile, as it is designed to help you while driving, and is active only during Navigation mode

You can report a speed camera, or a car accident, by pressing the bubble with a + inside, on the bottom right of the screen. Please avoid to do it if you are driving, unless you are the passenger

@ErmesT Thanks Ermest, you are always operational :smiley:
Ok, so I’ll have to try adding new Speed Cams from the App

@ErmesT I tried searching on the app but I can’t find the button to insert a speed camera … do you have any images or screenshots to illustrate? Thank you

The button is visible only during Navigation, @Alfred_V

From there you can edit, reporting a speed radar, an accident, or a slow cue

@ErmesT i don’t understand why i don’t see it… i use iOS

Ciao, @Alfred_V

Have you updated your App

@ErmesT it has already been updated … it doesn’t give me other updates

I see @Alfred_V

Probably the new feature is just rolling out. Wait a few days to see if you will get it. Which version of the app are you using? Light, standard or the official public beta? I have the last one

Thank you for your feedback @Alfred_V

Let me tag @GeorgesHR for a feedback, but I think we need to be patient. I believe all the Googlers will be quite busy for a few hours

Hi @Alfred_V , @ErmesT ,

Thanks for reaching out! : ]

On behalf of @GeorgesHR , we do acknowledge that the feature for the moment would be gradually rolling out.

Should your devices yet to have the feature, it is suggested to give it a bit more time, as Ermest kindly previously shared.

Hi @Bewinxed ,

You can report missing speed cameras via the application, when you are using it in navigation mode.

You will notice a bubble with a plus sign inside and when you press it, you can select the type of report you want to submit.

Hope this answers your question and let me know if I can be of further assistance. :slight_smile:

Hello there!

Is there an option to add ‘Speed Camera Locations’ in Google Maps App?

If so, can someone tell me proper procedure? :slight_smile:

Thank you! and cheers from Croatia!

Hi @Swen this is a new feature that is rolling out in some countries around the world over the last few days. There is no official help article on it yet. When in navigation mode there is a new “+” control that you can tap to report various things. Get your passenger to do it or pull over for safety.

Hi @Swen in my knowledge and experience I have never seen a feature to add that, if someone has seen it may be based on their country I would like to know how it works and how its done, see the screen short bellow which illustrate what can be added on Google map except the other general features such as reviews, photos and videos which we can add. Thank you.
