Google Maps navigation crashing frequently on Zen Phone 2E after latest Maps update

Recently I updated Google Maps on my Zen Phone 2E and now I can't use navigation any more due to frequent hangs and crashes. What can I do? Can I downgrade Maps? Is this a known problem and will Google issue an update soon?

Welcome to Android Central! Try going to Settings>Apps>All, select Maps, and Clear Cache/Clear Data, then Force Stop. If that doesn't work, then try a cache partition wipe: New Steps to Wipe Cache in Zenphone 2-ZE551ML

Thank you, I tried your first step, and the next time I drive I will see if I can use the navigator again. If not, I will try your second step. It may take me a few days to make enough trips in the car to really test the navigation.
