Depends on how long.

Most smartphones tend to heat up greatly after extended usage of Satellite Navigation.

Nothing to worry about unless it overheated in less than 4 minutes.

You can probably reduce the heat by using extended usage mode in Stamina mode.

It underclocks CPU so less heat will be produced.

Agree with the above. Far too much attention on this forum to the phone getting warm when used for extended periods.

If nothing is going wrong then I tend to ignore it. HTC's with their aluminium frames are the same in my experience.
