How can this be if todays cars all come with GPS right in the dash ? The GPS is never removed, and gets direct sun.

O.K. back on topic.
My Tomtom broke while in the car when I was using it, I do not know if it was b/c of heat or not but its a possibility...

My new Garmin 1350T has a feature that makes it where if it is a certain heat it will stop recharging (which would make it heat up more) so it stays at a decent temperature (which sounds great right?!? ) well what is ironic is that all the complaints about the gps are that it does not charge in the car making it useless and people do not know that it has that feature I love the irony of that
