[QUOTE="conceptualclarity, post: 937698, member: 11916"] [SIZE=4]I have been using a smartphone for about a year and a half, so I'm still a relative newbie with it. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active. Google Maps on my phone tends to be infuriatingly slow and to cause the system to have long bouts of unresponsiveness, with the "System UI unresponsive" window coming up often. The phone runs fine when I come home and make no use of Google Maps. I would like suggestions for the best alternative mapping apps. Of course I obviously need something lighter than Google Maps. I have tried Waze and MapFactor and did not find them satisfactory. If you have ideas about changes I could make that might enable the system to tolerate Google Maps better, that will be welcome also.[/SIZE] [SPOILER] DROID INFO REPORT DEVICE Model: SAMSUNG-SM-G891A (poseidonlteuc) Manufacturer: samsung Baseband Version: G891AUCS6CSG2 RIL Version: Samsung RIL v4.0 Build Number: R16NW.G891AUCS6CSG2 Build Fingerprint: samsung/poseidonlteuc/poseidonlteatt:8.0.0/R16NW/G891AUCS6CSG2:user/release-keys Bootloader: G891AUCS6CSG2 Java VM: ART 2.1.0 OS Version: O (8.0.0) SDK: 26 DISPLAY Resolution: Full HD, 1080x1920 pixels Software Density: 480 dpi (xxhdpi) Refresh Rate: 60 Hz PROCESSOR CPU Architecture: ARMv8-A Board: msm8996 Chipset: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc MSM8996 Cores: 4 Clock Speed: 1593 MHz - 2150 MHz Instruction Sets: arm64-v8a CPU Features: fp asimd evtstrm aes pmull sha1 sha2 crc32 CPU Governor: interactive Kernel Version: 3.18.71-15820403 Kernel Architecture: aarch64 GRAPHICS Renderer: Adreno (TM) 530 Vendor: Qualcomm OpenGL Version: OpenGL ES 3.2 RAM Total: 3722 MB Java Heap: 256 MB STORAGE Internal: 22.9 GB EXTERNAL: Not Detected FEATURES Bluetooth: Yes Bluetooth LE: Yes GPS: Yes NFC: Yes USB Accessory: Yes WiFi: Yes WiFi Direct: Yes BATTERY Technology: Li-ion Health: Good SENSORS K6DS3TR Accelerometer K6DS3TR Accelerometer Uncalibrated AK09911C Magnetometer AK09911C Magnetometer Uncalibrated K6DS3TR Gyroscope K6DS3TR Gyroscope Uncalibrated TMD490X ALS_PRX TMD490X ALS_PRX BMP280 Barometer Gravity Linear Acceleration Rotation Vector Step Detector Step Counter Significant Motion Detector Game Rotation Vector Orientation Tilt Detector Pick Up Gesture Gyro Interrupt TMD490X WideIR SensorHub type TMD490X ALS_PRX-CCT AMD RMD Rear Ambient Light Rear Proximity detecting HRMLED IR HRMLED RED MAX86902 Screen Orientation Sensor HRM Sensor HeartRate Sensor Motion Sensor Orientation Sensor [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
