Google Map is a must-have app for pretty
much every Android smartphone owner. But one of the issues we see
rearing its ugly head every now and then is massive battery drain that
occasionally gets attributed to Google Maps. In all fairness, some of
these issues are not the fault of Maps directly, but rather fstem
from functions that Maps uses. So what can you do to make such an
essential app a little nicer on your battery?
We love Google Maps, but we like our battery life even more.
Clear cache/clear data
Sometimes battery drain issues associated with Google Maps follow an
update to the app. If this happens, the simplest thing to do is clear
the app cache and if that doesn't help, clear the app data as well. The
second option will, of course, remove all of your saved Maps data
though, so only do it as a last resort or once you've backed up your
Maps data. Simply clearing the cache in Google Maps can sometimes solve the problem.
Disable Location Reporting
Google loves knowing where you are. Not just for providing pinpoint
accuracy on Google Maps but also for all the other nefarious ends that
we like to get paranoid about. If you think providing Google with
constant location updates is more hassle than its worth, especially
where battery life is concerned, then why not switch it off? Location Reporting serves a lot of purposes, but it also drains your battery.
Simply go to your Settings and Location and then hit the Location
Reporting section at the bottom. You'll be brought to a Location
Reporting section with settings for each account attached to the device.
Of course, this will have effects on location sharing for social media
and some Google Now functions. Keeping an eye on your Location Reporting settings is a must for better battery life.
Switch to battery saving mode
You can always turn Location off entirely, but if you need to have it
on, make sure you have it set to a battery saving mode. Google loves
high precision location data but using GPS, Wi-Fi, cell towers,
triangulation, satellite arrays, biometric identifiers and who knows
what else (I may have made a couple of those up) to pinpoint your exact
location is a bit of overkill. Simply using Wi-Fi and mobile networks to
do their job is sufficient for most circumstances. Set location to battery saving mode unless you really need high accuracy.
Turn off GPS
If you always have GPS enabled when using maps and you forget to turn
it off afterward then you're going to notice severe battery drain.
You're better off turning on GPS just before you use Google Maps and
then turning it back off as soon as you're done. GPS may be super
useful, but it's not nice on your battery. Having GPS accuracy is nice, but not always necessary.
Downgrade Google Maps
If you're convinced that its the latest version of Google Maps that's
causing the issue you can always downgrade to the last Maps version you
were happy with. Some creative Googling will bring you the version
history of Google Maps so you can simply pick the APK for the version
you want and install it in place of the newer, problematic version.
