Did recent Google Maps updates tank performance in Android Auto?

I recently upgraded from a Pixel 8 to a Pixel 11 and have been generally happy with the transition. But one glaring issue that I've noticed after the switch is how poorly Google Maps performs on Android Auto.

I have tried it in both of my cars, both wired and wireless, and haven't noticed any difference between the two. Either way, Google Maps absolutely chugs and is constantly stuttering and hitching and appears to be running at a very low frame rate compared to what I was getting on my Pixel 8.

Now I can't say with certainty that this isn't an issue specific to the Pixel 11 and its underpowered GPU that potentially also came with unoptimized drivers. However, I have seen some other posts around in the last month or so talking about similarly poor performance on other devices after recent Google Maps updates. So now I'm just sending my feelers out here on Reddit to see how widespread the issue is and try to isolate the cause. I no longer have my Pixel 8 anymore to test and isolate whether or not my Pixel 11 is the actual culprit here.

Everything else in Android Auto seems normal and performant with no stuttering or lag when switching between apps or interacting with anything other than Google Maps itself. It seems like Google Maps is just straight up running at a really low frame rate and dropping frames.
