Looks like a good lesson to learn. I would bet this also applies to
Cell phones, tablets, digital cameras, and other devices that use lithium
batteries. You think this may be a reason why the US Postal Service will not ship
electronic devices that contain lithium batteries any longer?
GPS was placed in its bracket in the windshield and left in the sun.
The battery overheated and exploded!

Wow
x2 the wow. My iphone overheated the other day, beeped once or twice and I saw the high temp noticed on the screen and then it shut down. Would not activate until I put in the cooler for a few minutes. LOL.
I've heard numerous causes of this fire from GPS to phone charger. The vehicle looks to have an in dash GPS, but you never know. However, it is never good to leave anything like that plugged in. My wife is terrible about it and she frequently purchases those cheap made chargers, that I won't even use.
Dang, I hope that wasn't yours.
Dang it man
Yea Dell computers use to be famous for that too. It was inked to a bad batch of batteries that had a defect. I just got rid of a galaxy 2 cell phone it was getting hot and turning off all the time.

I have been leaving mine on my dash for years and not had that problem but I think I will start taking it down now! I do take it down when I know I am going to be fishing all day and it would be in direct sunlight. Thanks for the information.
I call hoax, the last time I saw these pics it was an Iphone that blew up. He has a full nav system in the dash.
