Samsung can't seem to get rid of the automatic dimming when in use.Maps is pretty much useless as I can't see anything in normal daylight.I noticed this annoyance in every Samsung phone I had.Guess my Xiaomi MI 11 wasn't so bad after all.......

Look in your settings for the auto-dim feature. Shut it off and adjust manually.

Thank you, done and dusted- The automatic dim only happens on Google Map, and the rest stays on bright. As soon as you open Maps, it starts dimming it to a state, where you can't read anything anymore outside.

Hi, please turn on/off dark theme and see if the Google map problem is solved.

Open settings>> Tap on Display>> Turn Dark theme on/off.

Can confirm a few things here. I have this issue on a new S22 Ultra. 

 

Brightness:  maxed

Adaptive Brightness:  off

Eye comfort shield:  off

Light mode/theme:  enabled

Extra Brightness:  enabled

 

This happens in some apps with navigation, including Google Maps and Uber Driver app.  It does not happen in the Lyft Driver app or in Waze. This happens in sunlight (even inside your car) but does not happen when indoors. 

 

This is some sort of auto-dim feature in navigation apps when in sunlight.
