You could even write a tasker (or other automation system) script to turn this on when you open an app or start a ride or whatever, turning it off again afterwards.
It's turning on the function when you open the app anyway. The battery saving mode is just not continuously updating location while you're not using location dependent apps.

I think I have made this better by changing the battery optimisation settings for Maps.
Settings ... Apps ... All Apps ... Maps ... Battery ... Unrestricted
I haven't done any very formal comparisons, but my feeling is that the location is pin pointed immediately that I open maps now, rather than taking time to get a fix and determine location.
You could do the same for any other location based apps you wish to make more snappy.

If this is a fix, then the culprit was indeed the battery optimisation in A12/13, rather than a HW issue with the Pixel 6A.
