Is it reliable for mapping?

I have a CarPlay dongle for the Android head unit in my work car and while music and phone is great, any time I use any map app the audio stutters.

Also does it provide enough power to function when a phone isn’t fully charged? I had to put a Y cable to supply power from two USB ports to make mine work.

I’m thinking of sticking with my plan to go the Android headunit route. In my work car I use CarPlay for audio, podcasts and phone while I run Waze or google maps directly on the unit. Works brilliantly, and has the benefit of not tying up my iPhone display with the same content.
