Why does navigation overheat my phone?

[nived]

Anyone else had a phone that’s completely fine until Maps is running? Mine gets noticeably hot after twenty minutes of navigation, especially when it’s charging in the car. Battery life is still decent, so I’m not sure whether this is something worth repairing.

Mine started overheating whenever I used maps for more than twenty minutes, which was a problem because I’m on the road most days. A quick search for mobile phone repair manchester gave me somewhere local to have it looked at instead of swapping chargers and cases forever. They checked the battery temperature, charging behaviour, and a couple of background processes before narrowing it down. After the repair, navigation stopped turning the phone into a hand warmer, and I could finish a normal workday without carrying a power bank as backup.
