Apple Maps freezes app since iOS 16

The UDOT Traffic iOS app uses embedded Apple Maps. On iPhones running iOS 16.x, the app freezes when pinch-zooming in/out. The app becomes completely unresponsive for several minutes. It does eventually return control to the user if we wait long enough. Most just kill the app or reboot the phone to regain control.

This ONLY happens on iPhones running iOS 16.x - it does not happen on devices running earlier versions of iOS.

Anyone seeing this same type of behavior with Apple Maps on iOS 16.x?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16
