MRA lagging and freezing on AA
-
Hello everyone,
After testing the latest version of the app today (following a clean reinstall and downloading only the current map for my country), I noticed that the app is lagging and frequently freezing on Android Auto.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra connected to the car display. While the app freezes and lags on Android Auto, it works perfectly fine when opened directly on the phone at the same time.
For comparison, I also tested it with my iPhone 13 using CarPlay, and everything works smooth as butter, both on the car display and on the phone itself.
I have attached a video recorded with my iPhone while Android Auto was running from my Samsung device.
Thank you!

After some troubleshooting — including installing the app on another factory-reset phone, which worked fine — I finally figured out what was causing the issue on my device. I’m sharing this in case it helps anyone else who runs into the same problem.
In my case, the lag was actually caused by Android Auto itself. After the most recent update, it seems the location permission was automatically enabled for the Android Auto app, and this was causing MyRoute App to freeze and lag.
Interestingly, MyRoute App was the only app affected. I tested OsmAnd, TomTom, Sygic, Maps, and Waze, and none of them had this behavior.
Once I changed the Android Auto location permission to “Don’t allow,” everything started working smoothly again.
Sorry for the confusion in my earlier post, and I’m glad I can enjoy the app properly again.
