What, exactly does "power saving mode" do in CoMaps (iphone)?

Power saving mode sounds good. Of course I want to conserve battery.

But what does power saving mode actually do? What features is it slowing or disabling in order to save power?

in ios it’ll most likely limit background app refresh & din the display

in android it’ll most likely limit features like battery saver does

for a better answer, send a note to comaps support

@OwOarchist
No more 3D buildings (Buildings3d off), no oblique perspective, no GPS tracking, no traffic jam information, no more OSM edit uploads. However, map downloads will continue!

Oh wow, thanks! I'd given up on getting a real answer, but now here you are!

no GPS tracking

So it won't be able to tell my current position in low power mode?

GPS will still work. I believe it's referring to recording of GPX tracks.
