'22 Sierra 2500HD.

 

Don't use Google Maps very much as usually use OEM Nav. However, one of the things I do not have with OEM is the speed limit shown on screen. And in previous truck, I used that feature a lot (aftermarket Nav).

 

Today, used G. M. for a bit, both with and without a destination entered, and discovered the speed limit will show when en route after entering a destination, but will not show if just routine driving and a destination is not entered.

 

So, my question is, can something in settings or elsewhere be changed to always have the speed limit showing. Seems weird it has the capacity to show speed limit, but only with a destination entered. Tried searching but with negative results.

Hey Marpel, It is listed in my manual on page (125), 126 under DIC display options. It says this is available on midlevel and up level trims.

I have it on my truck. What is your trim level?

Hello Michael621,

 

Thanks for responding.

 

I am not talking about the speed limit shown in the DIC display, as I have asked about that before and have discovered I do not have the appropriate trim level (SLE).

 

What I am referring to is the infotainment screen where the Google Maps navigation map is shown. If G. M. is on, but not showing a destination route, the speed limit is not shown on the screen. However, if G. M. is active, with a destination route set, there is a small speed limit icon (looks like a typical roadside speed sign) in the upper right corner that shows the speed limit for the current location. I'm presuming this info is somewhere in the Google Maps data base and  just wondering if there is a way to get this to display all the time while G.M. is on, regardless if a route has been set.

Oh, got it. I use CarPlay with Apple maps and the speed limit info will only display when a destination is entered (navigating) like you say, and no option to turn it on otherwise. From what you say, GMaps is the same. Sorry, no other information from me anyhow..

Thanks Michael,

 

Seems there may not be a way to have it available all the time. It was always on in my (aftermarket) Nav in my previous truck and, as I never had Nav before I just assumed it was available like that in all Nav systems.

Thanks Tommy,

 

Initially I was trying to only use the OEM Navigation as I didn't want to use my phone (sucks power so always having to plug it in and I go places without cell service). However, when I do use CarPlay, I will try Waze. Maybe just have to get used to always plugging the phone in.

Tommy,

 

Tried using Waze, but could not get the speed limit to show. Only the speed of the vehicle will show (in the upper right). Went into settings and could find speed as well as speed limit but the only one I could activate/deactivate is speed of the vehicle, could not do anything with speed limit, even though it was listed. I must be missing something. Will have to read up on it.

 

And, the other thing I found is Waze is difficult to turn off. I tried it for a bit then turned it off (at least I thought I did as it went to icon only) and turned on the OEM Nav. However, the Waze voice kept playing in the background (and repeatedly kept warning me of fog ahead). Have not had the same issue turning off Google Maps.

Have found it hard to turn off when not in car play, but seems ok when connected. Had the same problem when I had waze and google maps running on same destination, could here both guidance talking. If I remember right, the speed limit shows a speed limit sign that turns red when you are doing over it with your speed in red. Will look at it closer today.

Seems a bit of a weird way to find out the posted speed limit, but at least I now know it can be done (but officer, I was just checking to see what the speed limit is....).

 

Tommy, thanks very much for checking. Much appreciated.

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift. (Corvette Only) After changing the exhaust sound they get a popup that "mode change not applied", even though it was. -When changing volume, the volume bar is for Traffic instead of Audio. -(Corvette Only) Improvements to the placement of buttons and text. -If the customer receives the message "Apple CarPlay Could not connect", the cursor might move in the opposite direction than expected when using the control knob. -Android Auto automatically starts playing their music, even though they have turned that off in settings. -Intermittently they have a red OnStar LED with no OnStar function and/or no audio. -The minimum length of the Wi-Fi password was increased to 12 characters. -The popup message "Driver Attention Check, check your mirrors or Super Cruise will shut down" may not have come up on the display when it should have. -Startup animation added for 20th anniversary of the V-Series on Cadillacs. -The Navigation app received location improvements when going under long underpasses. -In the Navigation app there are filters for charging points that the vehicle cannot use.   V164 Most Notable Improvements Most notable improvements contained in this release may include: Apps Intermittently, an “SD Card Removed” message will pop up in the Navigation app. While in the audio app, the radio may stop working. Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM. Spotify icon truncated on Audio app.   SXM When changing power modes with the ignition switch, the HVAC pop up might appear. During startup, the radio will show the brand splash screen then go blank. Receiving a confirmation pop-up when changing drive modes. A “Return to Dealer” message may appear on the radio screen. SuperCruise setting toggle may not work. System After an ignition cycle, the radio might go black or stop working if using Sirius XM (SXM). Settings When performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working. After performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working when trying to switch users. When trying to go into the Language section quickly after startup, the radio may stop working. Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device. When the Android Auto screen comes up to connect wirelessly, the screen may freeze if the Cancel button is pressed. Removed the Apple CarPlay Cannot Connect screen when a device fails to pair during the autoconnect process. CarPlay information may not show up in the audio app. Near Field Communications (NFC) chime may be heard when NFC does not work. The Cannot Connect screen does not pop up after the first connection on wireless CarPlay fails. Apple CarPlay is now functional in Guam. Over the Air (OTA) When a software update is cancelled, the downloading logo may still be displayed. Energy When using the Energy app, the radio may stop working. When plugging in the vehicle, the display might show “Now” instead of “Charging Upon Plug In.” Instrument Cluster Voice recognition can be started while on an OnStar or phone call. When downloading contacts, there is a progress bar and circles on the Recents page of the cluster. The temperature on the cluster and the display may be different. After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
