Navigation without mashing CPU?

When I'm driving with the phone is a dashboard mount, everything else on the phone is super slow and laggy. To the point where if something doesn't work via voice control, I'm afraid to do it manually like when stopped at a red light, in case I can't switch back to navigation before I need to make a turn. Google Maps on OnePlus 9 w sd888.

Is there in existence yet a phone that's fast enough for task switching while navigating? Is it just Google maps being a resource hog? Is there a better app?

redcalcium,

That doesn’t sound normal. I’m using a phone with much slower processors than yours and Google Maps doesn’t slow the phone down when navigating.

One thing to check is if your phone is overheating during navigating? Putting the phone near the windshield where it’s getting roasted by the sun while running demanding application such as Google Maps navigation might cause your phone’s temperature to spike beyond normal operating range, which cause it to throttle the CPU in order to reduce heat. If your phone is hot, try to put it in front of an AC vent or shaded area in your car.

deadcream,

Google Maps is just trash.

dontbreakit,

Is the phone maybe overheating and throttling, due to being exposed to direct sunlight on the dash? Wireless charging can have the same effect
