One of the most annoying things that can go wrong during a trip is dealing with slow Google Maps.
You rely on the app to give you the directions you need when you need it.
In the following guide, youll see some tips you might have a go at speed up Google Maps.
Improve the GPS Precise Location
One question: Do you have Googles location accuracy feature on?
Thats an option that could help speed things up a little with Google Maps.
To enable this feature, youll need to go into your devices prefs, followed by location.
In Location, tap on the advanced dropdown menu.
Turn off Satelite View
Theres no doubt that the satellite view in Google Maps is great.
But, the problem is that its the view that consumes the most.
This option could be the reason why Google Maps is so slow.
Open Google Maps and tap on the squared icon right above the compass icon to turn it off.
Tap on the Default option and see if that speeds up Google Maps.
This is one among other issues that the app might have.
The reason for these errors could be that the compass is not calibrated properly and needs some adjustment.
If your compass is not calibrated correctly, you should see instructions from Google to fix it.
Itll tell you to move your move in figure eight.
Youll only need to do this in a few seconds.
In that case, you could always tryGoogle Maps Go, a lighter version of the app.
This app is designed to run more smoothly on devices that have more limited memory.
There are some drawbacks to the app.
Tap on the See all X apps.
Look for the Maps app and then tap on the Storage and cache option.
The final step is to tap on the Clear cache option.
Hopefully, this option will get the job done if the previous methods havent.
