Battery usage high
-
Hi,
I used the new mobile app to navigate on my trip today. However the battery usage during navigation was so high that my battery ran down while was charging. Both using my wireless charger and with the cable plugged in directly the battery went down pretty fast. After a stop i had to switch back to the old navigation app so that i could reach the end of my trip before running out of battery.
Hope this is being worked on, as this is critical usability issue for me.

It is known and a solution is being worked on -
My phone (iPhone 13) gets very hot when using the app in the car. So much so that it stops charging to prevent damage, which is quite worrying. This doesn’t happen when using other apps - eg Google Mops, Sygic, Calimoto. I don’t notice it when on the bike, presumably because the phone is cooled by air flow.
I always have the phone on charge when using navigation apps, as they all drain the battery quickly. The phone is connected to a 2.3 amp usb charger on the bike, I not am not sure the rating of the car charger. I do make sure there are no other apps open.
It seems that Navigation Next requires an excessive amount of power, more than comparable apps.
