    @Marinus-van-Deudekom not sure why people continue to try to say it is not an issue - it obviously is, has been acknowledged by the MRA Team, to which is always pointed to a HERE issue. If your fortunate to live in a cooler climate, great - no issues! If not, it is a continual issue/problem and makes using the app impossible. As @Simon-Ferrari says, other navigation apps do not have that issue (specifcally, Google Maps and Apple Maps)

    And just because the issue belongs to HERE, it does not give MRA a free pass - the issue occurs with the MRA app. You don't take your vehicle to the manufacturer when it has an issue, you take it to the dealer - and in this instance, MRA is the dealer. I know they are working on it, just wish they were having more success.

          No matter which navigation app you use. All navigation apps will generate much heat. So putting your phone away in a closed cabin is never the best option. Air circulation for cooling is always a good idea

          That said. There is indeed a lot of difference how many heat is generated by the difference apps. Sadly MRA is at the top of the list.
          Keeping the screen off will help to keep the temperature down a few degrees. But the app must have procedures programmed to keep the screen off. MRA misses good procedures to keep the screen off.

          (I use MRA Next only on Android Auto. Every comment, suggestion, etc will be based on my usage with Android Auto)

            Hi Corjan,
            My phone: Samsung S22 Ultra
            My settings in MRA Next: Driving modus: Motocycle
            I have downloaded the Dutch maps in case I need to switch to offline mode.
            The phone is connected via USB-C and when I drive routes with MRA Next the battery still drains and the percentage of power drops gradualy . When I stop using MRA Next and I switch over to Google Maps the battery percentage starts to increase again.
            What is your advice ?

              My Pixel 8 (pro) does keep up with charging while using the MRA app. Drain is high, but on cheap cable and cheap USB charger it is still gaining charge (slowly).

              I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

              Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

                My Pixel 6 (pro) keeps up with charging too -- until it gets so hot that it shuts down. I can run without a charger until I run out of battery or I can run with it on the charger until the phone shuts itself down. And this is with Android Autio so I have the phone screen shut off. In another thread, @Corjan-Meijerink commented that HERE is actively working on the issue, which is great news.

                        I was out again today using Android Auto and this time I completed my route without the phone overheating. It was just a degree or two F cooler than last time when my phone shut down.

                        But this time, I changed the USB charging port I was using to one that was limited to 2 amps instead of using a fast-charging port. Along with keeping the phone display off, this was enough to keep my Pixel 6 Pro charged - in fact, it actually gained a little charge during the trip. The phone was still warm, but not nearly as hot as it was when I used the fast-charging port.

                        So, one suggestion for fellow riders who are having an overheating issue is to avoid using a fast-charging port. Kind of obvious, I know, but it did not occur to me before today.
