Yes and no. While gps systems are designed for hot weather, there really isn't anything going to save the battery from wearing down premature. Most people get 2-3 years out of the before battery goes sideways but I've had them die in Texas heat in a year if that. I would suggest taking it in with you if you want it to last longer. It will work yes, for how long, that's up to how hot it gets in your car. If I remember right lithium batteries have a upper limit of 120 degree operating temp, car gets hotter than that in summer. The other issue is screen layers are kept together with glue to hold the LCD and digitizer together so after a while there might be bubbling on the screen so take it in during the summer, any gps will have issues after a while that contain a battery. Plus with thefts going up nationwide, you don't want to give someone a reason to bust your window.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
