Hi there,

I try to use CoMaps instead of Google Maps in Android Auto, but it is really laggy. The map jumps every 1-2 sec forward instead of moving constantly.

Is this a known issue or is it a problem with my phone?

There should be an app update coming tomorrow or so with a potential fix - although it is difficult to debug these location issues, so it is possible that it doesn't change anything in your case

Thanks for the information, fingers crossed. All other apps are working fine, so it should be an app issue and not related to my location in general.

Note that we do have a unique location situation in that we do not by default use Google's proprietary fused location provider. Both for privacy reasons, and because it behaved weirdly on some degoogled devices. You can enable it in the settings, maybe that does something for you, or maybe it doesn't :P

Fused location was somehow already enabled. I try it again without.
