Recently I started to notice that Alphabet Inc's Google Maps app stops tracking my trips when I bring up another app. When I swap back to Maps, I find that the app stopped tracking my transit and I have to hit the 'start' button to restart the directions on my trips.
It happens all the time now. It's annoying and in some ways, could be dangerous to the driver.
After some research, I found a few reasons for this new issue which in turn, guided me to a few different options or fixes for the issue.
My issues were on my Verizon backed Samsung phone.
This first fix seems to have worked for me:
Go to
Settings;
Apps;
Choose the Maps app;
Select battery;
Choose "Allow Maps to use battery in background."
OR another option out there:
Go to Settings->
device care - >
battery - >
click the '3-bar' icon in the top right
Select settings - >
Sleeping apps - >
Remove Maps from this list
