Anyone using this app on their iPhone? I have been using it side by
side with my Nuvi3790t for about a month or so now. Looking to see if
I can use Streetpilot on my iPhone 4 and get rid of my Nuvi.
The problem is heat. I have tried two different iPhone 4's with the
same result. They don't like car dashes (at least not down here in
Texas). As soon as the sun comes through, the iPhone begins to heat
up and it shuts down the backlight which makes the display unreadible.
The NUVI can operate up to 140deg. The iPhone is works only into the
upper 90s.
I am sure its a heating issue since as soon as I take the phone off
the dash, it cools off and the backlight comes back on.
I am thinking the Otterbox case may have something to do with it (as
far as retaining heat) since to be water resistant,it has no slots for
air flow. Not sure if I want to keep taking the Otterbox off and not
yet ready to give it up totally.
I have seen a vendor selling a holder backed with a fan which may help
cooling but it is won't get as high as the dash - only a few inches
from the cigarette lighter.

Use an air conditioned car would be one solution.

Are you really sure about that? My iPod Touch (same OS as an iPhone) has
"auto brightness" as its default setting, so moving in and out of direct
sunlight will change the backlight settings. What happens if you simply
shade the iPhone with your hand, or a piece of paper?

My car sits in the driveway with the full afternoon Sun beating through
the windshield and it never gets really hot. I also keep it on when
driving for the same reason.
From the front of the car, it doesn't look like something to steal,
rather it looks like some papers on the dash.
