ABRP on Pixel 8 with ODB

I've been test running ABPR for a couple of days now with my ID 7 car. I want to use it as a replacement for Google Maps in Android Auto because it has the status of the car through the OBD. However, it has some serious downsides that I wanted to check if other people experience the same.

  1. very slow phone, high CPU usage and battery drain. My phone becomes pretty much unusable. As soon as I stop the ABRP app the pixel starts acting normally again
  2. its not as precise as, for instance, google maps or here maps. Most of the time it doesn't see me taking a turn or it constantly puts me on a cycle road next to the road I'm driving on. This makes routing pretty much unusable.

Anyone else experience these issues?
