    This really is a nice gps but I felt that it it was just too big of a gps system for up in my front windshield mount. It really does take up a good bit of my field of view when driving. Maybe if I could have a different option of mounting in my car besides the front windshield suction cup mount that's provided then I most likely would have kept this gps.

      Thank you for your review! While it is normal for a devices temperature to rise during usage, it should not stop working. Please search "hot" in the Garmin Support Center or contact us at https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?productID=720310&tab=topics for further assistance. Garmin
